I am new to the Tacoma3G forum! Several years spent over on tacoma world forum and overland bound. Just stumbled upon this forum and good to see something specific to 3rd gens. Long story short, I'm on my 4th toyota truck. Owned an 87 pickup in college and have had a 97, 06, and now 16 taco...

Just bought a 21’ SR5, with that V-6 , it’s an Access cab with 6 ‘bed, nice truck, trying to figure out the WiFi hotspot, is there any YouTube links with vids out there?

Hello All, New here, but I have been lurking for a while picking up tips/tricks/hacks and been wanting a Taco for over two decades now! Long story short, a very recent divorce lead to a forced sale of my house, lack of a decent daily driver, and me wanting to get back to the 2 or 3 weekends a...

I just literally made this account! First post here. Definitely will not be the last either! I have a 2017 Toyota Tacoma SR5 Access Cab that I absolutely love but want to improve. I'm in the market for some headlights and I'm really leaning towards Morimotos. I wanted to get some opinions on...

Over the weekend I traded in my 17 Camaro SS for this beauty of a truck. It’s not the most high end or capable truck out there, but dammit it’s mine and I already love it.

I've been around since July 2018. I went on a Cleghorn run with the Tacoma 3G group back then. Mods are OME suspension upgrade, small lift, after blowing out two stock rear Bilstein shock. Thankfully they were warranty items. Duro bump stops in front. Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx in stock size...

This one doesn't have a name yet either :LOL: The blue truck has been great, but it has 80k on it with multiple cross country trips, so it's time someone else enjoys it. So it's now owned by one of our sales guys (Corey if you have seen him in any of our videos) and he's stoked. So the new...

Howdy Folks, My name is Tony Shaw and I'm thinking about becoming a convert to the Taco Community. I'm also an Army Combat Veteran (OEF). I've ran big lifted Fords and Chevys my entire life (I'm only 29 lol), admitting that neither of them have the reputation of reliability that Toyota pickups...

Does anyone have a gap on your Tacoma grill on the right side? I took a picture of it.

Hey guys new to the forum! I had a question during the break in period for 5.29 nitro gears is it 45 miles with 3 cool downs then drive the rest easy on the pedal? or will I be having to do the cool downs for the whole 500 miles?

Signed up from North Central Washington, 2020 TRD OR in quicksand

I had it since new. Still ran like new. Only 215,000 miles. I had no choice but to scrap it. So all I wanted was a new version of what I had. Since only the expensive trucks have manual, I was forced to buy a 20 access 2wd auto. I have a Subaru, don't need 4wd. My old truck barely held 2 small...

Hey all. My name is Shane, based in SE Pennsylvania. I previously owned a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and wanted something to fit my lifestyle a little better; fishing, hunting, and getting outdoors!

The day I brought it home, July 2020.

Hello, about a month ago I traded my '14 Ram in on a brand-new 2020 tacoma Sr sx. This is my first brand new truck and my first Toyota. It's only a 2wd with dreaded 4 cyl. So don't rag on me to hard. Only thing I've done so far is remove the chin spoiler and add some step bars. Probably not...

Wanted to official say what’s up to everyone here! Bought my taco a few months ago, and I think it’s about time I start adding some “extras” to it. Obligatory purchase picture. My first truck I’ve owned, and the only vehicle I’ve ever purchased new.

Hi everyone, just purchased an new 2020 Tacoma TRD OR in Quicksand three weeks ago, this is my 8 Toyota pickup, the first being a 1987 Turbo pickup in Tan. I purchased the truck now, because I wanted Quicksand. I had to drive about 750 miles to get the truck. I do like my Toyota trucks. With...

Traded in a 4R for a PRO - I got what I thought was an insane trade-in value for the 4R and opted to reset the mileage since I was at 122k in barely 4yrs of ownership. I'll miss it, but I'm excited to be back in a Tacoma - it just suits me better, although I have zero bad to say about my 4R...

Hey what's up everyone? I'm a new member to this site but like what I see so far. Picked up a 2020 Super White TRD OR about a month ago. Been lurking hard and learning a ton so I do not ask the same questions every new member does(Will this tire fit? or What lift? lol). Looking for other AZ...

Whats up 3G. Now that it has been one year and 15k miles later, I have come to the conclusion that I would have just saved a few bucks if I went with an OR over a Pro now that I have replaced just about everything except for the wheels. You live and learn, and at least I still have my sunroof...

Hi everyone, I bought my self a brand new 2019 magnetic gray DCSB OR. My first new truck! I've got rid of my venerable 2003 with 3in lift, 285 and JBA UCA. So, at the dealer, I've ask my salesman can I try that trd OR that you got? He said to me what trd OR?? We've sold all the 2020 and it's...

So I had a 16 OR, and traded it in for a Jeep GC about a year ago. Stupid move I know. Either way, about a month ago I said piss on it and got rid of the Jeep and picked up a 2020 TRD Sport. Love the new ride. Either way, I work for the local power company here in Iowa, and I've been in the Army...

So I know this has been asked before, and I've looked at a TON of threads, but I have to ask... which one do you folks recommend? I hear the fit for the original Bestop (w/windows) isn't great for the 3rd gen Tacomas. Is this the case? I like the idea of having windows, but if fitment is...

Just upgraded from my old '95 tacoma to a 2018. Wondering what y'all recommend starting with as I start to make the truck my own. Just looking to do some weekend overlanding and dailying the truck during the week. Thanks

Figured I'd start a thread on my build. I picked this up in October of 2019 shortly after wrecking my Second Gen. The very first thing I did was add a roof rack. I go kayak fishing, and have two over-sized kayaks. With the short bed, there weren't many options aside from a trailer or hitch...

Hey what’s up guys! So I recently purchased a new 2020 Tacoma. I had an 02 Tacoma years ago and have wanted another for the longest. Now I didn’t get the highest model and was looking to see if I could add more power. And maybe see if there’s any other mods you’d recommend to make it camper...

Pretty new here, found this page on instagram. Thought I’d post a little transformation in the little time (3 months) I’ve had my Tacoma. I like seeing all the different ideas everybody else has.

The excitement is starting to get to me. I've been contemplating on a new vehicle for a while now. I was all over the place. Sequoia, 4 Runner, GX460... Friday, after some careful thought and convincing the wife, I pulled the trigger on a new White DCSB Off Road. We've always wanted a pickup. I...
