Offroading Lesson 101

If you decide to take your stock truck offroading and try to jump it, you will probably end up having to do something like this:



Bent my spindle so bad the tire was leaning in like 4 inches sideways

 

No pic / vid. But if its the raptor that jumps 90 feet, ban yourself

Really? Why would anybody try and jump with a stock truck? Watching too much Dukes of Hazzard.

 

Haha ya something like that. Just addicted to offroading adrenaline. Hopefully it won't be stock by the end of the year and I can do some serious offroading. Don't worry though I learned my lesson going to take it easier out on the trails for awhile.

 

Wow... OP you thought it'd be a good idea to jump it? Or have you been watching to many Tacoma commercials lol

 

Best post I've seen in a while!

 

LOL....And Adding this Quote to my sig.

OP,
How much air did you get?

 

Ya I've been offroading this thing for years. You'd be surprised the abuse these things can take though. Just went a little too hard the last time I went out.

 

no vid?? i'm disappoint.

 

I've seen some tacomas jumped stock that took it pretty well. I have been very impressed at what they can handle. My truck on the other hand has not been beat on at all. It hurts me just to watch the front of a stock truck get slammed after a jump.

 

Not too much. maybe like a foot off the ground. It was just the way I landed that bent the spindle. It was kind of in a ditch and made the truck land at a weird angle.

One time when I was like 17 I use to have a stock 4x4 ranger and I was trying to show off with my friend and I shit you not I got that thing like 6 feet in the air. Landed so hard I had back problems for a few weeks. Thought for sure I broke something but everything was fine. I offroaded that thing so hard until the transmission went out then just sold it and got my tacoma.

 

Then he can bend his upper control arm!

 

wow.
