    I wanted to start this thread to find out how Bad-Ass our trucks really are .I have a 2011 dcsb trd sport prerunner that I just started off-roading.its fully stock with 17" ultra wheels and 265/70r17 Michelin LTX A/T 2's.it is going to be leveled soon. so my question for you is WHAT HAVE YOU BROKEN ON YOUR TRUCK(if anything) SINCE YOU BOUGHT IT?. What did you break and how did you do it?what did you buy to repair or replace the part you broke?.i hope this is a successful thread[​IMG]

    Black Sand Pearl factory paint - flattened "au natural" by tree branches.
    Just the factory security wheel nut that left me stranded in the middle of nowhere when I had a flat in January.

    Howard looks very peaceful in this picture, but I bet he would eat a chipmunk's liver with a smile on his face.

    Nothing is broken yet. I`m careful with the seat position adjustment lever. These would break often on my Chevy `05 Colorado. The levers on the Tacoma are thicker, bigger and seem to be sturdier.

    I'm sure there are a lot of things that would break on your Colorado that won't break on your Taco.

    Feel free to be harsh to your seat lever.
