    The Tacoma wasn't designed for long travel so broken parts are expected. I'm interested in compiling a small database of all the broken components as well as a count of how many times this has occured. This includes everything from suspension to headlight mounts.

    How feasible does this sound? Who's interested?

    I feel like I've also heard of a decent number of peoples lowed control arm to spindle bolts breaking as well.
    Never experienced it myself though.

    Also the core support in general is very prone to cracks, bending, and general weak structure.

    The 2001-04 is a slight upgrade, otherwise a Howe hydraulic ram is the ultimate upgrade.

    I did take out a rock at my last race. Surprisingly nothing major broke and still ran it the next day lol. Only thing I’ve found so far was a weld broke holding a tab to mount the skid plate on. Factory weld though.

    The first is bolt on, the 2nd is custom. There is probably something in between if you are crafty.
