    Pretty cool. Seems like a pretty rewarding idea. I’d consider doing it. Thanks for the heads up!

    Hi I Have A Tacoma

    Oh daaaaang you’re gonna make me waste another $100 on something I definitely don’t need in my truck :)

    Hi I Have A Tacoma

    So you’re saying I won’t have this problem with a 2019? This is a foreign language to me lol. I can handle the manual dismantling and reassembly but I’m not sure this whole voltage wiring description is clicking. I’m also wondering if this charger would even work with my phone and it’s case. I...

    Hi I Have A Tacoma

    Nice build man. I really want to swap out my wireless qi charger because my iphone 14 pro with the Apple mag safe case doesn’t even charge on that slow ass charger. At this point, it’s completely useless like you said the cup holders! I watched the Amazon vid, did you find the charging pad swap...

    @tacoboutawin -should've just bought an OR- build.

    Sweet looking pro, I’ll have to live vicariously through your white TRD Pro! I definitely want to get the iKamper mini too.

    Explore the West, screw the rest | The Story of Warthog

    Hey Cameron (again). Just curious, where are you getting your work done? Or are you doing it yourself? I'm not looking to go too crazy with mods but I am interested in getting some things done and I don't really have a garage set up to work on my Taco.

    Manual Cup Holder Options

    I can't be the only one with this issue. This day and age, there are so many bottle and coffee mugs out there, many of which are double walled so they are thicker. I find that there are not a whole lot of options for sizable coffee mugs/water bottles that will fit in my 3rd Gen Manual's cup...

    SoCal TRD Stock Speakers (Not JBL)

    I'm curious what did you guys buy to replace them? I just swapped out the head unit and back up camera. Now that I broke the seal, I want new speakers and an amp!

    Camping Gear

    You don't need to remove the cover. The RetraxOne is compatible with Yakima Overhaul / Outpost and some Rhino Racks. Put one of those on through the T-Slots and you have your rack for your tent. That's what I'm working on now! Below is a link to the overhaul which has adjustable height and can...

    RetraxOne or RetraxPro Install and Drainage Hole Drilling through Bed Mat

    So I just purchased a RetraxOne and installed it partially last night. I got nervous towards the end of the install and I got to the part where I had to drill a hole through the bed for the drainage tubes because that would be permanent damage to my truck. I figured I would do some research on...

    RevN3's TaCOBRA build thread...

    Good to know, my issue is I would really like a RTT but I need a 3 person one minimum but there are so many good ones out there, it's so hard to narrow down. It's also good to know that you have to dry it out. I had no idea about this. Especially in this climate in the PNW, I'm going to need...

    How do you like the Smittybilt? It looks likes it sleeps 2-3, Have you tried to cram ur whole fam in it? I'm debating which tent to get for my own situation.

    Stock TRD Pro Tires Good Enough for Snow in the PNW?

    I was wondering if anyone has experience driving the TRD Pro stock tires (Good Year Kevlar reinforced M + S 265/70R16) in snow and if they are good enough. I am considering buying a separate set of snow tires if need be. I don't plan on modding tires or lifting the truck so this size is pretty...

    How tough are those trails? I've never done any OR, I'm a new to it. I'm pretty much a stock Pro. Your video looked a lot of fun but I don't think I'm ballsy enough to do any boulders or anything!

    Newby from upstate ny

    Awesome truck man! I wish I could go as hardcore as you. Is that the XCover Tent? I'm contemplating getting one of those and putting it on a bed rack like you did too. Do you have a 6 ft bed? It looks like it. I'm trying to see how it would look on my 5 ft bed. What bed rack do you have? I am...

    New Holland Overland - NEW RELEASE BED RACK

    How heavy is it and would it be something that would be fairly easily removable if I needed to load up my bed with wood or haul furniture, pretty much anything that would require me some height clearance? Maybe this is not what you intended it for, it's just what runs through my head. Just a...

    Overland event in Hood River on Sept. 7/8

    Very cool. It's too bad I have nothing set up on my rig yet for overlanding. I'd just be pitching a tent the old fashion way haha.

    Yakima Overhaul HD Rack or (Insert Brand Here) Full Bed Rack

    I'm interested in getting some opinions here. I'm in the early stages of finding a bed rack and I find myself gravitating to a couple of options. Anyone have any experience with the Yakima Overhaul HD Rack? I'm contemplating over getting a Overhaul HD (Yes I understand it's not really even a...

    Stock Taco. Can’t afford to build.

    Just keep in mind if you ever sell it, not many cars you'll get into will hold it's value better than a Tacoma. It's a great vehicle, I have a little one and upgraded from a 2010 regular cab to a 4 door for my 18 month old, (at the time 14 months). They are great vehicles, it will get a bit...

    What Light bar goes with this? Is this one purchased by you Victory 4x4 or is this one I'd have to get elsewhere?

    Beginner Trails Around Portland

    Hey All - I'm new to having a Taco which can actually off road. I had a older 2010 Regular Cab FWD Taco that I turned in for a 2019 Pro, manual, no major mods other than headlights and steps so far. Being that I'm new to off roading, are there any good trails to start on around the Portland...

    T3G Feedback and questions about Tacoma3G.com - How can our community and website be better?

    I'm a newer member/contributor but honestly, this site has a much better sense of community than TW. The members seem just as much as Tacoma enthusiasts as they are polite and courteous to each other. It seems every 4 posts on TW is someone flaming someone else. I prefer to come to T3G because...

    Sorry to hear that man. I may sound a bit cynical here but almost all dealers I've ever worked with have sucked in one way or another. The sad part is most just don't care cause there is always a steady flow of people willing to go to the dealer. At least you found a good one that was able to...

    What's your tow hitch cover? Is it a gag or does it serve a purpose?

    Brightest aftermarket lights

    Thanks Man, super helpful. Now I'm thinking if I have to go through all that trouble to remove the headlights, I may as well just get whole new headlights instead of removing the fender, bumper, grill just to put in 2 headlights. This is how it starts.... haha

    Brightest aftermarket lights

    It’s not my wrist, that isn’t the problem. It’s the fact that the fan is so big. I can’t move it into place to lock in. I never took apart a headlight assembly so I am wondering if it’s worth doing on my brand new truck. See the pic below.

    I'm in the market for a new head unit - 2018 TRD Sport

    Is the back up view clearer with this set up? I guess a better question is, is it the OEM camera that sucks or the OEM Screen that sucks?

    I'm in the market for a new head unit - 2018 TRD Sport

    If you replace the OEM head unit, will it work with the camera, beeping and everything or will the view look differently? I find the back up camera quality is terrible but I'm not sure if it's the OEM screen or the back up camera? It says it has camera input but I'm curious how this works. Does...

    Hi Malcom, I'm new to the group (and to a 3G), I purchased auxbeam H11s too. I'm not super technical with cars but I can do some basic things. When installing them last night, I realized when I took out the old ones, and plugged in the new Auxbeam ones, I could not get the Auxbeam ones in, there...
