• 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.

New guy.

Just a simple introduction, I’m out of Florida, little late to start a build thread but here’s the build so far.

Meso turns
RRW stealth bumper
King2.5s with adj res
Icon rtx leaf
Smitty built xrc3 9.5k
Morimoto xb led headlights
Morimoto fogs
Icon rebound 17x8.5
Duratracs
Ceramic coat
Kicker tweeters
Morel 6x9s
Bumper caps

What’s already ordered and on the way, I just haven’t received it yet, custom rock sliders from my buddy at Timbos customs, cab mount relocation, Bestop super top 2, Sherpa roof rack and I’ll be putting 315/70s on the truck in the near future. I’ll post the progress and installation when it all arrives. Looking forward to learning and helping out. I’m a DIY guy and am pretty knowledgeable when it comes to it.

Welcome!! I love that color on an access cab.

Are you going to regear? At the rate you're going you will need to.

Yes, it’s next on the list. I’ll be contacting ECGS and seeing what’s available as far as getting diffs assembled, swapping them out, and sending my old ones back for a core return. I personally think 33s are doable without the regear, 35s the truck would be sluggish and would suffer in the mpg department. But I didn’t buy the truck because it was fast or good on gas. We will see how it does on 35s( 34s and some change technically speaking) I’ll do the gears after. Also, high clearance cut, spacers, more cutting, etc. whatever it takes to fit them.
 
Welcome aboard.

Wow man! SWEET truck. Love the color too. What is the lift and tire setup? Any rubbing?

idk what it is but I REALLY dig these blue access cabs.

Also, ceramic coat on the list makes me :giggle:

I encourage everyone to do it. I personally think detailers charge insane prices for ceramic. The product will cost you $100ish for a decent kit, then another $100 more for a polisher and some pads. It’s time consuming but easier than you would think. I’ve done more than a few personal vehicles and the ease of washing, gloss, and how clean the truck stays is impressive.

Lift is a king 2.5 with adjustable res and icon rtx leafs on option 2, tire set up are 285/70s and I did a pretty aggressive chop on the cab mount because there was rubbing. I can’t find anyone who can do an alignment. If you can find a good alignment tech, rubbing shouldn’t be an issue without a cab mount chop with these wheel/lift specs.

Yeah you're paying for the labor. I only charge $25 an hour for my labor which brings a full coating job out to $800 after supplies. There's also no way in hell I'm getting a job done right with less than $100 in pads and towels.
 
Sliders fabbed, powdered and welded on from my buddy Tim Sparr at Timbos Customs. Got the bestop on as well. Next my skids from RCI. Very happy with the way everything came out.
