3rd Generation Toyota Tacomas | Tacoma3G 2.0 {v2.0 Beta}
Big news! The Tacoma3G website and brand are undergoing a massive overhaul! I'm taking our community to the next level by completely redesigning the website, creating a new logo, implementing a bunch of new member features and quality of life changes, adding a proper website homepage (as opposed to it being the forum), and more. I started the project around October 2020 and if you've been following along, you might've seen some previews of the changes already. If not, well, you're currently looking at the new homepage and one version of the redesign right now.
I have a lot of work ahead of me before we are close to seeing the final product. What you're looking at right now is a rough beta version that will inevitably have bugs and placeholder items that might seem out of... place. However, finding those bugs is a good thing from my perspective; that's actually why I'm launching a live beta for everyone to use early (if they chose to). The more people that choose to use the new design early, the better. As long as you help me out and share your feedback in our ongoing T3G 2.0 feedback thread on the forum.
A few things I want to be clear about:
- The logo and the empty header of the website are still placeholders. There was a lot of feedback about improving them and I agree with most of it. I haven't forgotten, I just haven't got to it yet.
- You are currently viewing the Dark version of our Barcelona Red style. This is the only color I have ready right now but all of the original colors are coming back. Likewise, they'll all still have their Dark and Light versions eventually. A Light version of Barcelona Red is a high priority right now so we at least have one Dark and one Light to choose from.
- Like I mentioned before, there are a lot of design and general features missing or not final. That includes the color shading in some areas.
- You can essentially opt out of this beta and switch back to any of the old designs right now, if you'd like. Use the 'REPAINT THE WEBSITE' link at the top or bottom of the website to select one of the old styles.
There will be many new features and systems implemented over the next few months. One of the major additions is this new homepage and the content that will be on it. I intend have a variety of articles posted to the homepage on a semi-regular basis. Some article topics will include (but are not limited to): interviews/truck builds, tutorials, recommendations, Tacoma news, videos, and member created content. This is the first article and an example of how the articles will display on your screen. However, and this is my favorite part -- all articles are integrated with the forum and can be commented on by members, the same way you would a forum thread.
The next handful of articles are queued up to be posted soon. If you have suggestions for content you would enjoy reading here, or you have a cool Tacoma/off-roading background and are interesting in being interviewed, please let me know by commenting this article (or send me a private message if you prefer).
*To enter the comment section of an article, click the title of the article at the top as you would for a forum thread.
I hope you guys are stoked on what is coming to T3G in 2021!
