• 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.

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

Super fast shipping on the sellers part! Shipped Wednesday morning, at my door 10ish am. Now to get my tires swapped for now.

Good day = installed 5160 and purchased new wheels. Bad day = my wife finding out I spent $1300 on new wheels. Now I have to endure a couple of weeks of stupid purchases without being able to challenge because "you bought yourself wheels".

Whatever happened to you won them in a GAW? Or were those the ones you got in a trade?
I was there, remember?
 
Jeep buddy called asked if I wanted to go riding. We got way lost in the super thick part. Scratched the hell out of the truck. Had to get winched out of this hole, got stuck on the ice shelf. Stock tires didn’t like it at all. It was like 8” solid ice that finally broke after he went over it. Had a blast, really should of gotten video.

Sweet! Imagine how much more fun you'd have with better tires. (y)

Quick plug for MC ranch overland's fire reflector. Solid construction, excellent customer service, and really makes a difference for both fire starting (keeps the wind at bay) and reflects heat incredibly. Worth the premium. Also folds flat and comes in a really nice, durable case. Highly recommend.

I'm just waiting on my lug nuts to show up. Fedex is dragging their feet. Expected delivery it today, as soon as they get here I'm headed to the tire shop to get tires on my new wheels!
 
Got my wheels and lugs loaded up for a trip to the tire shop after work! Man truck rides so smooth with weight in the rear end.

Also just in time for the "winter storm" we'll be getting. @B-Man are you guys going to get the ice and stuff we are supposed to get? MODOT is asking us to stay off the roads tomorrow.

Last week we got almost 20". I have no weight in the back, and she bucked like a wild horse to get going, but my Duratracs got me through anything I threw at them. Easy peasy! That much snow, and cars and some SUVs were going nowhere.
 
looks like I got the timing chain cover leak. into the dealership I go
 
Finally got my wheels put on! I’ll try to grab some better pics tomorrow!

Motegi's are such a throwback. Back when RAYS did the RO_JA wheels. Frickin' RJ DaVera or whatever the name was. He needed punched in the face.

i remember him and his inflated ego.

I had some Motegi's on my first del sol I had. I agree about the throwback. I'm very impressed with the quality of these. And the fact that the center caps are flush unlike Methods. I can't stand that the Methods stick out, looks awful IMO
 
Added some bedside protection to the rear bumper.
