    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    I wheeled my 2008 for a few years, and never had any body damage from it, just shit ton of scratches. I broke a whole pile of other stuff however.

    my 2012 didnt get wheeled

    my 2013 only gets light duty wheeling and messing around, worst its seen so far is when i rolled the play truck a month or so ago

    my play truck... this one takes my aggression i guess you could say and it saves the life of my tacoma's.

    If you plan on wheeling it, at all. It is a WHEN not IF, but the very large majority of the WHEN is dictated by your habits and attention to detail. If your good, and you behave.. you have a good chance of never having severe damage and your WHEN will be much cheaper than if you treat it like my 81.. If you treat it like my 81 then there is no limit to the WHEN damage factor, and if its your tacoma then $$$ factor.

    The more fun you have by pushing the limits, the more likely you are to get to the WHEN faster.

    But even if your the most boring and careful person, shit happens. I watched a nice truck roll over with a very cautious driver on a fairly mild incline when something busted at very low speed.
