  • Welcome to Tacoma3G.com, a free resource for 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma owners!

    This website is the passion-project of a USMC veteran/mechanic, @Tyler. I created Tacoma3G.com to share my knowledge of this subject with others and to provide like-minded folks with a comfortable space to ask questions and create 'build threads' within our Tacoma Forums. Now, if the format of this website is confusing to navigate for you, or if you're interested in my full mission and T3G's history, check out the Help and About pages.

    OCD center console organizer

    Aren't we talking about the "Salex OCD organizer?" LOL

    Dash Cams

    You don't need to drop the headliner as far as I know. The roof console is very easy to pop out and very forgiving when it comes to putting it back in. You can remove the passenger / driver front beam cover and run a fish tape or just a stiff wire from center roof console over to easily snake...

    Low Profile Front Bumpers

    I just want it to be flush. It still seems to be the farthest forward point. I only have so much clearance in my garage as it is.

    Hi-lift Mounts?

    I bought a recovery package that came with a hook for the Hi-lift that grabs the wheel and lifts from the wheel. The expectation is that you lift the bad tire, then put in a jackstand ( I always carry two with me) and then remove the Hi-lift while you are working on the vehicle. It's much safer...

    Requested: M101A2 Military Trailer Retrofit for Tacoma towing

    This is the current form; two weekends ago is when I finished the welding and breakaway setup. As for steelsoldiers, this write up is actually more recent than the one I have there, though that one was updated as I was doing all the bits and pieces.

    Low Profile Front Bumpers

    My biggest issue is that none of these stick out less than the existing fat lip. When I last looked I didn't think there was a structural reason why it had to. Does anyone know?

    2016+ Hi-Clearance Rear Bumper w/ Dual Swing Gate

    A bit off topic, but if someone came out with a front slimline bumper, or hell, a full bumper, that stuck out LESS than the stupid fat lip currently on the Taco, I'd probably go into debt to acquire it. Similarly, if I could get this rear bumper sexiness but still be able to use my rear sonar...

    Requested: M101A2 Military Trailer Retrofit for Tacoma towing

    This is where it sat for about a year until I decided I didn't like the clunking of the broken surge lunette and wanted my trailer to be able to stop itself. I watched a video of someone offroading get pulled down a hill by their trailer and used it to convince my wife to let me go crazy. I...

    Hi-lift Mounts?

    My mount is a little improvised. Since I have a revolverX2 tonneau that requires moving the rails I had to find new ways to mount. I bought these mounts off Amazon (http://a.co/73Wje6J), and made my own nuts to slide into the rails. I ground down some nuts meant for unistrut so that they'd fit...

    Requested: M101A2 Military Trailer Retrofit for Tacoma towing

    I've been working on this for two and a half years, so it's going to be quite long. I may need to do multiple posts due to image limits. In the spirit of being prepared for anything I decided a few years ago I was going to buy a truck... which didn't happen until Fall of 2016. While...

    OCD center console organizer

    I got one of the original ones before the Chinese knockoffs invaded Amazon. I haven't gone for the tray yet, as I still like to store random crap on top of the sectional organizer. I love the sections though. NOTE for anyone thinking of buying: Seriously, read the instructions. The divider...

    Rear USB install

    Yeah, that's what it's showing. It's fun to see the difference between "Truck on, no alternator" and "Alternator running". I was new to vehicle power until that project and didn't realize the voltage difference between the two. It's pretty useless as you can barely see it while sitting in the...

    Tacos and Teardrops and Trailers...OH MY!!!

    I'm slowly re-purposing an old military trailer. I know the jeep crew love their M416 and M100 trailers, but I had to get an M101A1. It will follow my Taco pretty much anywhere (same wheel base), and can carry at least 1 Ton off-road. If interested I could do a whole build thread on it:

    Rear USB install

    It was requested that I post about this, but I don't have pictures right now so I'm going to describe it as best I can. The power for this USB is on a relay'd circuit controlled by the ignition so that it is only on when the car is on. The product recommended...
