3G Tacoma TRD Lift Kit and Would I Buy It Again??
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 мар 2024
- I bought this TRD Lift Kit over a year ago for my 3G Double Cab Long Bed Tacoma. When I purchased this lift kit I was told my truck wasn't compatible and that to get the kit I would have to get it installed through the dealership.. 1 year later here are my thoughts and tips to get the most out of the TRD Lift Kit on your Tacoma.

+1 for long bed +1 for oem. I’m real tempted to do this as well. Slight lifts makes it pop. Your truck looks good. Thanks for the review
Yes the G3 Tacoma will hold its value a Lot more than the newer Taco’s. It is the last generation of a true Tacoma and reliability.
They will be sought after more so than any other Tacoma.
I only drive about 5K - 6K miles per year, so in 20 years I’ll have less than 130K miles on my 23 Tacoma.
I purchased and had the dealer install the OEM lift when I bought my truck. It has been on for 8 months; love it so far. I drove the truck for a month before they installed the lift. I feel increased stability in the ride front and back; but especially from the rear.
Very very nice video! Same goes with me I LOVE oem parts and like to be a “oem guy” lol. They’re way more money but it’s worth it.
Also every time I go in the dealership for maintenance or anywhere I get offers left and right pretty much what it’s worth or a little more. I don’t regret getting my lunar rock 2023 4x4 truck 😍😍
Thanks for answering my question on your previous install video yesterday. I would be curious how many people have the TRD factory lift installed and end up having vibrations. Toyota isn't upgrading CV needle bearings and they don't provide axle shims or carrier bearing shims either, so I wonder why people aren't experiencing vibrations with their 2/1 lift. I can't seem to find an answer to this question. Even on forums I've searched. I've "heard" people comment that the TRD OEM lift is a rebranded Bilstein 5100 kit which kind of makes sense. The 5100 kit install instructions make mention it is also not compatible on access cab trucks or long bed trucks. Anyway, great video, truck looks awesome. I've got a 23 Lunar Rock TRDOR with a Bilstein 5100 set up all around and the ICON 1.5" AAL i just haven't installed it yet. Creating potential vibration issues in a brand new truck with 5000km on it has made me nervous. lol.
I bought a 2023 trd pro. Love it
Congrats! What color?

@@appleztooranges nice 👍🏼 🤙🏼
My TRD lift kit is also great and no issues with wheel bearings yet. I have the block installed and will look at putting in a add a leaf or new leaf spring Pak when the old ones die.
Glad to hear it! Always great to see you in the comment section brother 👍🏼🤙🏼.
Will you be doing some type of undercoating or rust inhibitor on the under side?
So glad, I bought my 2022 SR5 double cab. You might be right, 3rd Gen Taco might be the last great taco.
As of now, 2024’s are now turbo 4cylinder.
I got this kit coming and will install soon. Should I upgrade my upper control arms or are the OEM ones OK with his kit? Thanks.
Right on! Nope, just use the OEM ones.. they fit perfectly with the lift👍🏼
@@westcoasttaco ok 👍 thanks for replying
I was able to find the trd lift kit, minus the grill, I blacked out my stock OR grill anyways. It was used with 10,000miles and got it for $600! Put it on 2 weeks ago and love it. My truck is a 23 OR double cab short bed in ice cap btw. Eventually I’ll replace the rear leafs but happy with the block for now.
Nice!
Thinking about pulling the trigger on this. My taco is a daily driver that I occasionally take on trails but I am not an overlander or hard core offroader by any means.
How does it drive so far in comparison to the OR stock suspension?
@@xylianis08 a much better ride in my opinion. Every Tacoma owner that has driven my truck have been very pleased with the way it feels/handles.
Where did you find it?
Was the icon add a leaf stiff or overly stiff when you installed it ? How many miles did it take to break in or smooth out.
I’m having issues with mine being so rough and making the ride un enjoyable. Maybe it’s my fox 2.0? Thinking about switching to these trd shocks
@@darknessfalls714 Mine felt great from the beginning. Did you remove your overload spring?
@@westcoasttaco yeah, I think the shop I took it to might have installed it wrong or added some parts that shouldnt be there.
I’m going to take it to another shop to take it apart and diagnose it. Thanks !
@@darknessfalls714 here is a video of the install on mine: ruclips.net/video/zXbVeDv9Wjo/видео.htmlsi=SlfUndjw0wBaYIud
Had this for a year and honestly the ride feels stiff on the rear when going over speed bumps , this normal because of the block?..
I felt like the rear was kind of stiff on mine as well. The AAL made a tremendous difference.
Waiting for my stock tires to wear out so I can buy some 265/75/16's and a Westcott Designs preload collar lift kit in the front.
Edit: If you ever decide to get a camper shell, the choices are too many LOL. I want one, but don't which brand to go with?
RSI Smartcap is my first choice for a camper. $4k is steep though…
@@JetSkiSuper7 Damn. I need to stop buying other crap and start saving. Thanks for the reply
Who installed your lift kit if you don’t mind my asking
I had the choice of a slightly used (6K mile) Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab with the 6’ bed, leather, sunroof, JBL stereo, LED lights, etc, (OR) a new 24 Tacoma.
Yes the 23 was a bit cheaper, but I bought it because it has the naturally aspirated 278hp 3.5 V6.
The 3.5 V6 is a very well designed V6 that has proven itself to be Durable and Reliable.
No gasoline turbocharged engine will ever last as long as a naturally aspirated engine.
So what if I get 1 less mpg.
Toyota truck buyers generally buy their trucks for reliability, dependability and longevity.
Those 5’ beds are worthless in my opinion. If the Tacoma would have been equipped with a 7’ bed, I would have bought it over the 6’ bed.
The very first thing I’m going to add to the rear suspension is to install adjustable air suspension so I can haul more weight in the bed.
We work our pickups and the Tacoma is the most reliable midsized pickup on the planet.
If you’re spending upwards of $50K for a truck, you might as well buy the best bang for your buck.
Well said! I think the majority of people that are really excited about the 4th gen are people who like to trade their trucks in every couple of years. People that are looking to keep a truck for life are grabbing the 3rd gen’s. 👍🏼
@@westcoasttaco The most miles I ever put on a Toyota was 488K of 24 years.
We’ve been driving Toyota’s for 40+ years.
I now only drive 5K - 6K miles per year so at my age, my 23 Tacoma TRD will be the last truck I’ll ever own
I also bought the year older to keep naturally aspirated. Blowing turbos can get really costly
Do you have to lift it if you running 265/75/16??? Please let me know thanks
Yes or else it slightly rubs, I got the same exact tires on mine.
Anyone have any oem trd center wheel caps?
This it? www.amazon.com/Genuine-Toyota-Matte-Black-Center/dp/B086KWM26J/ref=asc_df_B086KWM26J/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=673660451436&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5088874318927946432&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031508&hvtargid=pla-2206377604697&psc=1&mcid=4d1c1a5453f83bb18c9ec0c301936671
What tire size instaled, when install the lift kit TRD
BFGOODRICH KO2 265/75/r16
what size rims & tires are you running?
16” TRD Pro Wheels 265/75/R16 BFGoodrich KO2’s
So with the lift, you didn't have to recalibrate the tss sensor?
I didn’t do it on mine.. haven’t had any issues.
@@westcoasttaco thank you sir. Good to know.
@@mikeu.s.n.9099 no problem 👍🏼
2023 dclb with dealer installed trd lift kit checking in. All under warranty
Beautiful 👍🏼🤙🏼
@westcoasttaco it's pretty much identical to your truck in every way but lunar rock.
Harder to see how filthy it is 😀
@@Racerjames666 definitely the down side to having a black truck 🤣
this is the first time i've heard "work truck" said in a negative way
How can I reach Jason I need my new shocks installed please
Jason (Located in North County San Diego, CA): 1-760-566-6157
Any sag from the back?
Nope pretty much perfectly level. If anything maybe a slight 1/4” rake.
Can you please tell us the company in Murrieta that did the install ?Bitchin Taco!
They have recently moved but it was called NexGen Off Road.
Anyone in Washington state that you can recommend?
@@Doc1855 unfortunately I don’t know anyone in Washington state 🤔.. sorry
@@westcoasttaco No worries, Thanks anyway
@Doc1855 where in Washington are you? If you are closer to Portland, I have a place to recommend just south of Portland..
Well with a long bed you have a sport.. your fake now . Buy the truck that should have it. Also you can't do what a off road can at all .. stop trying to look like what you wish for!!
??? This is a TRD off road 4X4… you can get the off road in a short bed configuration or a long bed configuration.. if it was a sport (which you can also get in a short bed or long bed configuration) it wouldn’t have the nonpainted fender flares and it would have had the fake hood scoop..
You are completely wrong and clearly dont know Tacoma trims. Its HIS truck, stop trying to tell people to do what YOU wish for on their trucks.
