    Got my 2014 Taco Off-Road 4x4 loaded in Sept 2015, She only had 11k on her, when she came home. I had just put a set of Cooper STT Pro and didn't even get 50 miles on them, when some jerk off decided to rear end me. Total loss as a result. The best part is that she can be replaced........Ordered a 2016 MGM off-road today. She should be here the first week of May.

    I bounced off a guard rail and then 7 lanes to the median wall.

    I feel lucky and blessed. Those side curtain air bags and seatbelt did their job. She started roll, but the guard rail pitched her back up on all 4s

    Holy crap! That definitely overrides anyone's arguments whether our composite beds have fiberglass in them or not! You can clearly see the fibers.

    I'm glad you survived. This is likely the best reason I've seen anyone give for why they are/have bought a 2016.

    Thanks for what you do BTW @chenryiv ! #BlueLivesMatter!

    Helluva crash - glad you are OK. Make sure the police report notes the damage to the guardrail, too - in NC you (your ins co) will get a pretty big bill for that, which you can send to the guy who hit you.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Anyone who says it doesn't should drill the bed and rub the shavings on their arms.
