• Welcome to Tacoma3G.com, a free resource for 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma owners!

    Tacoma3G is a beginner-friendly 3rd Generation Toyota Tacoma (2016-2023 model-years) forum. We are a community of people who are focused on good information and good vibes. T3G is the passion-project of a USMC/Toyota technician.

What have you done to, or with, your Tacoma today?

Nothing yet, but I'm about to go wash the 'sumbitch........its dirty. Hit the snow on Monday, with the kids. Then hit some mud on the way down the mountain. Car wash bound, now.

If I'm feeling really froggy, afterwards, I'll be doing front brake rotors and pads. Realistically, it will be a project for Saturday, though.

Happy New Year!

I need to do brakes too. It just sounds like a chore that I don't feel like freezing my ass off for right now.
 
Going down to So Cal this morning for a week for my Grandfathers memorial service. Tina is staying here in Oregon.

Thank you thank you , it wasn't an easy decision that's for shure but funny enough I'm paying less for a 2020 TRD offroad premium tundra then I was for the tacoma hahaha :ROFLMAO: and I'll definitely get some photos up soon!!! And I will keep my account active on this forum to help out when needed, sadly the tacoma which i loved became to small for my needs overall, I'm hoping for great things with the tundra. And as always I'm here to help anyone as best I can

New head unit. Cheap, big screen, Android and Apple Carplay, easy to customize the interface. It is Chinese--Joying is the brand. The only downside is it eliminated my Germes Lab anytime front/rear camera so I will have to use a different solution for that.

Looks good fits right in !!
 
I believe I saw on instagram that he sold his old camper already. Also, @Mr. Nobody the new vagabond is SICK are you going to wrap it to match the truck eventually?

You are correct. Sorry @hellppy is already sold.

We will be removing the current wrap as it was damaged along the upper edge from the previous shell. We're working on a new design to incorporate into the Drifter.

that's pretty... do you have a link for this? i assume there's an input for a forward-facing camera? Does it work with all the steering wheel controls?
 
Here is the unit I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W1ZML6V/?tag=tacoma3g-20. It does integrate with the steering wheel controls.

With my original HU I used the Germes Lab kit to have a front camera and anytime reverse camera. It integrated with the steering wheel controls and worked well. However, it does not work with this Joying unit so I've sold it and ordered the kit from here: https://www.anytimebackupcamera.com/collections/kits/products/anytime-backup-and-front-camera

I hope to get it installed soon and will report back on the results.

I'm shocked but happy for you. You've been really knowledgeable on the Tacomas and from what I saw (unless I missed it somewhere else), it didn't seem like you were considering selling. To be honest, I also wish my truck was bigger. A lot of people are getting RAM Trucks right now for overlanding. I'd like to have one. But my Four Wheel Camper would be too small for a full-sized truck. What color Tundra did you get?

Also, glad you'll be sticking around. If I ever create another forum for other Toyota trucks, hopefully that can be your alternative home! ;)

This is sweet. I HATE the Entune system and I would love to simply have CarPlay like everyone else. I've been debating an iPad system, but I didn't know this was an option. Let us know if you find anything glitchy about it after some use.
I installed the Warn Winch Bumper, for those that are skeptical it's really easy, much easier than I thought it would be. The hardest part is mounting and wiring the winch, I installed the Smittybilt X20 12000lb, love the wireless.

BTW it doesn't interfere with TSS

Looks good! I think this is the first time I've seen the newer Warn bumper on a truck.
