    Ya I'm almost glad I wasn't...jumping is fun and cool to watch but it is so bad for our trucks, even long traveled trucks. My shocks are valved more for hauling ass through whoops. But.... I'm sure I would have hit it if we went there lol.

    Anthony and Krish mad props for mobbing, sick pics of the jump! Im sure u know but, u guys should be careful jumping mid travel like that, just make sure u keep an eye on motor mounts, and give ur truck a once over from front to back, check bolts, nuts, etc. We buy toyotas cuz they are reliable, and can mob with the best of them. But u mob them u break stuff. Price we pay to be BAMF!

    I'm hopped up on niquil and cough drops came down sick last night :(



    RANT OVER! :sorry: it's cuz I'm old

    Haha yeah i already checked my mounts, lugs, front spacers, rear shackles ubolts etc blah blah! I would feel sketched out driving my truck after offroading without checking everything.
    Im going to order the motor mount gussets from DMZ soon. As my rear LT progresses im pushing it harder and they are bound to break on my 06 since i dont even have the factory reinforcements.
    Anthony never meant to go that big, or even jump but it was all in fun, his truck seemed fine. We even went back to the 4x4 area and showed him where his motor mounts are just to assure him that everything was alright :eek:
    Anthony, You and Jordan? (Santabarbarataco) should really check everything before and after offroading, you guys were mobbin it pretty hard! It would suck to end your day early because of something stupid like a loose lug nut shearing off the studs and damaging fenders etc.

    x2, my burg uppers rub on the inner fenders. it sucks:(
    BobberBill has the same issue, i think its because we have 0 preload on the coilovers but if anthony rubs then idk. He has alot of preload. My arms are flat at ride height and his have alot of angle, then again ive never jumped my truck like he did :p
    edit: my rubbage is here on the side

    At full compression the preload doesn't affect where it rubs or comes in contact with, because it still travels the same amount. My arm didn't rub but the uniball bolt punched a hole in the inner fender, but I'm a 1st gen.

    Troof! Gotta pay to play! It's an expensive hobby! Strengthen one weak link and the next weak link shows it self. I'd take a tie rod breaking over cv or diff or something :)
