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.
It feels pretty sturdy. You can stand on it for sure.
Really nice. Just ordered Stage 1 today. AccuTune mentioned an ETA of July 8 for a shipment of stock from Deaver. They also mentioned that 50% of their ordered inventory was already spoken for so if you're thinking about it, this might be good timing.
Nice price on the lights.Picked up a set of some TRD Pro halogen headlight for free from a local guy. Totally clean and all tabs intact. Another project for the list.
Tried to mount some maxtrax to the RCI roof rack but the spacing was all wonky. Not a fan of their mounting plates for that purpose. Ordered some Prinsu ones since they look much easier to deal with. Will use the RCI plates for something else up there.
Lastly loaded the Blackhawk tune from yotawerx. Didn’t get a chance to drive it though. That will change shortly.
I was going to try and install the 9100 but I got to sweaty and exhausted. Damn it
I need to do this. Last time we went wheelin, mine were rolling around in my bed. I'd be interested to know what those ran you to fabricate.Created my own mounting brackets for my axe and shovel. Designed to work around the softopper. Theoretically I could still collapse the topper with the mounts and tools still there. Though my spare prevents me from collapsing it all the way. Can definitely still take it off if I wanted to though.
Super cheap honestly. 3feet of 1/8” steel flat bar. Cut it down, smoothed the corners and edges and drilled some holes. The axe mounts I had to heat and bent a bit. Then just some t slot nuts and quick fist grips. Quick and dirty but they’re not moving and they’re secured now
Well, it looks bad ass.Installed 37x13.5R17 Mud Grapplers this morning.
No these are not the future of this truck, just temporary so I can actually deep clean and rash repair my Summit Off-road Wheels and 35’s.
I am very impressed with how the truck handles the 37s, it’s not near as miserable as everyone makes it out to be.
Yes the mileage is bad, yes the shifting could be improved. But it’s pretty solid for how big these tires are compared to the truck.
That is quite steep. 22.5% incline, correct?
Were you just upgrading from the 8100 to the 9100? What's the difference?exhausted. getting old sucks. wrapped up the 9100 install and IT WORKS!!! I've got lights again!! tried hooking up my dual volt battery meter but can only get one to display. tried a few different things with no luck. problem for another day. tomorrow or Sunday will be trying to install the joying headunit.
Could I see how your cabin mount area looks? Liner still in there or did you remove it?Installed 37x13.5R17 Mud Grapplers this morning.

my 8100 stopped working. there are a few differences. on the 9100 you can change the backlight color, its got an extra trigger wire (im going to make the light bar come on with the high beam), they also doubled the amount of high voltage switches.Were you just upgrading from the 8100 to the 9100?

This area. I've had mine done twice now. Chopped area might rub, but I think it's mostly the liner and fender.
