• 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?

A good day to add a few items that had been sitting in my garage for months.
1) 400W anytime power w/110 plug
2) Anytime camera
3) Redline Hood struts

I drove 120 miles one-way to drink some coffee with some cruiserheads. Totally worth it.
Happy New Year #406Cruisers.

I've had a JL on 37's. Never cease to be amazed at how well my taco on 33's can hang almost everywhere the JL could go.

Even stock my buddy was impressed, as was I with the Tacoma performance offroad.

@Tyler Do we have a way to upload small videos (other than YT)?

There used to be but it never worked well (even videos under 1:00 would take forever). It's something I want to add again but making the upload fast and the streaming speed fast, is hard.

Any reason you don't want to upload to YT?
There's also Vimeo or Facebook.

You could even become a TikToker. ;)
Could also set to private and share with just the link. That way it's not all over the place.
Then link it. The site seems to do pretty well with displaying video when hosting externally.
Then hosting on the site would eat up a lot of space. Just considering the limits of web hosting for the site since Tyler covers costs.
Then scripts to optimize and compress the video. I'd totally bog up resources of the corporations then just share it on the site.
Burn their resources. SCREW THE MAN! Lol.

Man I gotta be real honest, I'm too told for TikTok :D

I may start uploading to YT, I've had my account for years. I just don't have anything meaningful to upload, because my videos suck lol
 
Which Anytime kits did you go with?
400w I bought the Red side electric harness (I think this was guild outfitter) and then bought the 4runner power outlet and extra console panel from local Toyota dealer in case I want to return to stock.

I'm the same way. Just look at YT like a folder. Then if things are hidden but can only be viewed with a direct link, the audience is limited. I have my channel or whatever with dumb stuff, but half of it isn't public and just there for hosting to be displayed on other sites.
 
Changed from the very boring black tailgate letters that you could barely see, to the OEM chrome ones. Looks MUCH better on MGM, especially with the sport rims and chrome exhaust tip. I’m not a chrome fan in general but I think it really pops here and black is lame. Also, it depends on the situation. The stock chrome bumper caps and tail lights, ugly as hell. Chrome letters and exhaust tip? Not at all IMO.

Didn’t find hardly any pictures before making this decision so I’m dropping a few redundant ones here for a better idea to anyone interested.

After what seemed like forever, my 20° TIG-welded DOM sliders from Westcott Designs were finally finished being fabricated and I installed them this weekend. These are beautifully hand-built, powder coated satin black and had perfect fitment. They complement the truck so nicely. <3

Also mounted my Baja Designs S2 Sport flush mount chase light. Waiting for a few more wiring accessories to arrive to make it fully functional, but the hard part (I think) is done.

Longer post in my build thread here: drizzoh's build thread (https://tacoma3g.com/threads/drizzohs-build-thread.13423/page-2#post-92534)
 
Overland Equipped Auxiliary Power Kit and Brite Box Fogster module installed last night. Nice to get some more parts out of my growing stuff-to-install pile and onto the truck.

Did he fix the plate to no longer chafe the brake power wire?

This said 'updated design'. Looks like that's what was updated. I didn't notice anything touching that shouldn't be.

Swapped tunes from the OVT2 reg to premium, since work situation changed. I noticed the difference pretty quick. Last on I am going to do a few changes to how the throttle responds it is a little too sensitive in first and second gear at times with MT.
 
Trying to install SSO Stage II wings. Still have some fine tuning to do tomorrow and absolutely regret not just spending the extra $$ up front for the full plate slimline, but this will do.

I was able to order the fullplate versa from SSO, and just picked it up a week ago friday. My wife got me a KC c20 lightbar for it, and I just ordered an x20 winch for it that I should be picking up tomorrow. I'm super excited for it! How difficult and/or nerve wracking was it to cut those fenders??

The fenders were definitely the most nerve racking and the cuts are not perfect but I am happy with it. Overall not bad, just takes time and patience.

Switched out the smittybilt XL roof top tent for the iKamper on my wife's GX. She's running back and forth to Memphis frequently, needs some better gas mileage, and I got tired of crawling up and down the truck to open and close the smittybilt tent. And, already have 2mpg improved mileage, probably because of the lower profile and improved aerodynamics of the tent.

A dry Saturday with no work!
Finally able to make the cuts for the SSO full plate versa! The youtube video for this one had pretty clear instructions, and aside from worrying about messing it up, was pretty simple. I'm liking the high cut on it, and now I need to actually heft the bumper up and bolt it on.
