  • 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.

Decided it was time to finally change the stance of the truck. So I started with the wheels and tires to determine what lift kit would be neccessary. I went with the following setup:

BFGoodrich KM3 @ 285/70/17
Method NV 17x8.5" Wheels

In order to run the 285s, I need to do some work. I purchased a 2" Boss Lift with Eibach Springs, rear struts and 1" blocks in the rear. This leveled the truck as well as gave it the mandatory clearance to run the new wheel + tire setup.

In addition to the lift kit, I also had my local custom auto shop do the Cab Mount Chop and minor trimming of the plastics to make this a for sure fit with no rubbing. Mission accomplished, no rubbing at all and plenty of clearance. Loving this new look.

Late welcome to the forum and thank you for the compliments on the design we have.

Your truck is really clean looking, especially the black on black. I also dig the format you’re using for your build thread. It spices it up a bit.
 
Smoked out the turn signals and I am so glad I did. This little mod goes a long way. These lights were ordered from Runnin' 4 Tacos but are made by Meso Custom.

I also added some new badges from Runnin' 4 Tacos as well as new magnet support flags from Tactilian, in support of the first responders in my family and for all who serve our communities.
