Hello all. Last week I picked up a 2018 "used" Tacoma TRD Offroad. Unfortunately for previous owner, he was not given a good medical diagnosis after he bought brand new. It sat in his garage for 9+ months and then he traded it to get his wife a new car with zero payment. I find it on the...

Hey everyone! I am pretty new to my Tacoma and off-roading, but here is my 2019 TRD Off-Road MT at the top of Seven Mile trail in Colorado! I have a huge list of mods picked out for the future, but for now I am just enjoying what the truck can do stock!

I registered here a while back, but then took a social media vacation. Going to try to be active now. 2 Tacoma house, I have a 2010 Off Road that I gave to my daughter since she started driving, which forced me to get a shiny new 2018 Pro. I've had it a bit over a year. Only mod so far is a...

Just traded my 2012 TRD OR last month. I really love the new look on my 2020. I have an OME lift being delivered soon and install is scheduled for the 22nd. Pictures to follow. As a lot of us are doing, I’m searching “tire and rim fit” questions. Wanting to run 285/75/16” on mine. No...

Hey Gang – Not new to building Rigs but definitely new to Toyota’s in general – most of my off-roading over the last 30 years has been done in Jeeps with a few other brands mixed in but in 2019 I got bit with the Toyota bug and bought an 07 FJ Cruiser – I loved the FJ but getting into a Tacoma...

I've owned my Taco for almost a year and a half, coming up on 30k miles. I'm mostly all stock, upgraded my tires a few months ago and did some minor cosmetic and comfort features but usually my Tacoma is hauling myself and the pup to trailheads, my paddleboard and soon my new kayak (once I...

SURF, CAMP, SLEEP, EAT AND REPEAT. 2019 was a great year for builds! So many rigs where dialed in for the race to SEMA although I wasn't done and LA AUTO SHOW was the last hurrah! But what's next for 2020?? So far just new graphics and a swing out and just chill and enjoy the Rig as much as I...

Hey T3G, posted here a few months ago with some questions about my upcoming purchase and I finally nutted up and did it. Wife's 2019 Rav4 was due for 15k service so I went up to the dealer and dropped it off, decided to wait for it and look around the lot at what they had sitting around. My...

Hey guys, new to the forum but have been following Tacoma3G for a little while on instagram. Just purchased this 2017 Tacoma Off Road with 30k miles. Already had the rims, tires and suspension on it when I got it. Not looking to do any crazy builds.... just yet.

So I’ll start off by saying my day job is working for Uncle Sam. I’m active duty navy so I do what I can to my truck when I can. I sold my 1972 Chevy C10 and bought my 2018 Tacoma TRD Off road 4x4 DCSB to be able to do more stuff outdoors with my family. My goal has been to make the truck as...

Hey guys, new to the forum but have been following Tacoma3G for a while on instagram. Been building my rig for a year now . From Lake Geneva, WI. 2017 TRd offRoad DCLB

Hey fellas, new to T3G. Purchased a brand new 2017 SR5 DCSB 2WD back in November of 2016 as a re-enlistment present to myself. I wanted a TRD 4x4 but couldn’t afford it so I sought out to build my own TRD. That’s really what my build is all about; and to have a sweet looking rig. Below is...

Hi everybody! Picked up my 20 Tacoma Pro manual last week. I’m a Family man that’s looking forward to having many adventures with my wife and kids! We love our new Taco! A couple of pics of my boys and I installing the reverse led lights this afternoon! :)

OK...I said IN OHIO because I was born and raised in Texas and will always be a Texan. Have lived in Ohio for about 22 years though. Some would say that I just "downgraded" to a Toyota Tacoma. My previous truck was as 2018 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition that I bought new. I bought it primarily...

So for years we specialized in mainly Tundras . And it all started with me going full tilt and no expense spared on building one of the baddest Tundras in the world . But a 600+ hp Ultimate Fun Mobile started to become a bit much for daily use . So in a effort to get my girlfriend out of her...

New to Tacoma . Don't plan to build or modify much just going to drive the wheels off this thing! Really like this truck. Don't care for how it shifts gears a lot. Maybe still learning, but I think Toyota could have deleted 6th gear and it would be better. Not gonna rant, just sayin'.

Just switched from owning Ford super duty diesels to my first Toyota. I picked up a 2020 Tacoma TRD 4x4 in VooDoo blue. Damn I’m loving the color and the truck so far. I’d love to see some other voodoo blue Tacoma’s to get some ideas

Greetings from Colorado! I just joined the site with my 2019 TRDOR DCLB that I bought in late September.

I am a little late on starting my build thread, but as the old saying goes, better late than never?‍♂️. I have recently put in quite a bit of work with my truck. But for starters I got rid of the carpet based floor mats and got me some Husky Liners! Great investment, and better than...

Bought my Tacoma last October and started to build it the way I always wanted my Tacoma to look. Still a lot of things I want to do and would love suggestions on things I can do still.

Figured I'd start a thread to keep track of my build as it progresses. 2019 Tacoma SR First mod was a ARB Summit Bumper. A couple weeks into owning the truck the paranoia of driving my rural roads in October got the better of me so I purchased the bumper to protect the truck from all the...
