    The MGM thread in the 2nd Gen area of the forum has been one of the best threads created. Let's continue the madness here. Post pics of your 3rd Gen MGM Tacoma new and then with your various mods.

    I bought this limited below. So far I have tinted the front windows to match the back. Vent visors. Added the undercover flex cover. Bed extender.... and the last shot below is the sport hood!

    Here are some popular accessories for your 3rd Gen Tacoma. Will add more so that you can refer to this original post rather than have to tab through pages full of posts. Meanwhile, I have created a "garage" on amazon. If you bookmark or favorite this link it will take you right to that garage each time.

    I don't have any super cool pics yet! Friday night when we picked it up, had them remove the bedside stickers!

    I plan on running a lift and 285s, candy the third brake light, so a grille swap, and some exhaust. Possibly find a new set of wheels of they are cheap enough.

    Looks great! Congratulations!

    wondering about that ladder leaning up against the wall in the dealership. I can see that falling and knocking out a new vehicle.

    Fuck it, they can fix it...and that's their pick up showroom, or that's where the truck was parked when we came to pick it up

    I must admit, I've always wanted a Tacoma, and almost purchased one before buying my Sierra. Biggest issue was cost, they were really expensive, aso I decided to buy the Sierra. I don't regret it, I loved that truck! My wife wanted to get out of her CRV and we started discussing trucks after looking at many cars that didn't suit us. I signed on here and started doing research. We decided the 3rd Gen was the way to go based on the upgrades. Dual climate was a big thing for us as we travel and are on the road a lot. The GM mid-size trucks just didn't fit the bill.

    We love the truck. I have big plans for it. I don't like stock vehicle. Here are my last two rides, I still own the G8


    My wife's Tacoma will be lifted, just trying to decide what lift to go with. Sorry to whore up the thread with GM trash...just gotta put it into perspective. I don't plan on having the truck stock after the first of the year! I just need to decide what lift is best for us. I still really want to go with coilovers. But after riding in my brother-in-laws 13 4 runner with OME gear, I was impressed.

    Does the MGM color show dust like a black car/truck, or is it more like a silver? I just assumed it was more like black.

    The MGM color combo is pretty sweet.

    Ha! Funny seeing you over here! I am about to abandon ship on my awd blown SS clone build out of pure boredom. Probably going to get into a '16 limited 4x4 within the next couple of moths myself. As for lifts depending on how big you wanna go, check out icon. As soon as I get a 2016 I'll be making the call to them and american force wheels to get it out fitted right. I think I saw your sierra at QT over of 35w and golden triangle a few months back. Ever in that area?

    My MGM DCSB OR will be ready next Friday! I'll be posting pics soon. Not crazy about the interior : black with orange stitching and dash trim. It is growing on me though. Anybody else have the black/orange interior?

    Well, he is also a 3rd Gen owner. The one I want is apparently a unicorn.
