New to Tacoma 3G

[BigVinny67]

We recently traded in our 2nd Gen Tacoma, an 09 access cab 2.7L manual for a 3rd Gen 16 TRD Off Road. This was the Tacoma I wanted when I got the 2nd Gen but $ was an issue at the time.
We’re relatively new to wheeling but we, my wife and I, are totally in to exploring our surroundings here in the great PNW. We also have a 2016 Cherokee Trailhawk.
We would like to meet folks with similar interests here in the PNW that like to get out and explore this beautiful country via 4x4.
Thanks for creating a forum to hopefully accomplish this.

I replied to your message but I'll post it here as well.

Welcome to the forum, glad you found us.

We do have a lot of information here about OVTune and yes, it will make a HUGE difference.

You can read or ask questions about it here:

https://tacoma3g.com/threads/the-ovtune-thread.35/

A lot of the members here know a lot about the tune and some of them provide custom tunes in their local areas.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly and thank you for the link. I’m looking forward to all the forum has to offer. Hopefully, I’ll be knowledgeable enough in the future to offer advice/support as well so as to contribute and not just take.
Thanks Tyler

Welcome! Love the tire setup on the 3G., what's the specs on them. They look to be exactly what I'm looking for! Rack looks great too!

Hey TCOTUE,
Thanks. Tires are General Grabber A/Tx 275/70 R17. The rack came on the truck when I bought it. It’s a BAMF rack. Looks to be pretty stout. I’ll need to get it powder coated black, other than that it’s a keeper.
What do you know about OVTunes in the PNW. Any shops in my area that do those?

Guess I have some learning to do as far as posts go. Apologies for the duplicate.

It can be confusing. I’ve been working on trying to simplify some of that stuff.

I had good use out of Generals before on a previous truck. I like them.

I did quite a bit of online research before I got them. They’ve about 5k miles on them and not one issue. They’re quiet on the road, capable off road, ( keep in mind I’m a newb wheeler ) and less $ than BFG K2 & Nitto TG.

I ran the General MT on one of my fj40’s and really loved them. Quiet on the highway and cleaned much better than the BFG MT.

Thank Dirtboy! I was hoping y’all didn’t mind my first 2G but I knew from the get that I was a Taco man. Love tacos. Both kinds.
