  • 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.

    Thanks. Since the shop I'm taking it to does a lot of lift work I should be able to get input from them. In the mean time I'm not familiar with Bilstein so I'll have to do my research before I take it in. Cheers [NjB]

    Maintenance When installing a lift on a 3rd gen

    Yea I do and I've been there several times and all of it was bad. I still haven't made any commitments yet, so if all else fails I will go to the dealer here.

    Maintenance When installing a lift on a 3rd gen

    Yea I completely understand what your saying. This is all a learning experience for me. I'm barely 6 weeks into owning this Tacoma with no prior experience, so its trial by fire. I phoned 11 different shops, a lot of them just didn't do this type of work, none of them ever worked on lifted...

    Maintenance When installing a lift on a 3rd gen

    Thanks for your response, I've already had it in to Toyota, they took it out on a test drive and confirmed that the vibration is from the lift, and that the vibration only occurs in 2WD. When switching to 4WD the vibration is gone. This behaviour is consistent with everything I've read about...

    Great thanks for your reply. I'll probably pay more but it might just be better to get Toyota to do it after all. Thanks. Cheers [NjB]

    (I may have accidentally cross posted, sorry if I did) I know very little about Tacomas but I ended up buying a 2018 6 speed standard Sport, with a lift very recently. As it turns out the lift is causing vibration on the needle bearing and has me concerned, I want to get it fixed as soon as I...
