    Kinda looks like its bent because you caught sand into your radiator, not from jumping. I could be wrong.

    I have to agree, doing that to a pretty well brand new truck without upgrades is stupid. I personally wouldn't do it because I earn my stuff and know my limits.

    That jump is bad ass. I think its so rad that you jump your truck and dont give a shit. F*ck it.. and hit the gas. They make new parts everyday.

    It worked! well kinda, just the <--- in the middle of the radiator and was simple and easy to bend back a bit and shroud is nice and happy sitting in clips. Man this truck's badass....

    Thanks for the advice (props to ShockTaco), I woudn't have minded buying a new one if so (Also saw RockAuto for $120) but nice to see that I could get it cheaper if it comes down to it..

    So just another scar and a cool clip to have :D I may have been an "idiot" :der: but I don't really care that was awesome and I'm lucky nothing serious happened and something I can learn from before doing again :p But I think I've earned some air-miles till next time...:plane:

    I think its hilarious how people on this forum talk shit about guys actually USING there tacoma. Dudes mod them out, drop thousands, and do nothing but drive to the store for there moms wearing their strait billed hats. Truth of the matter is these guys talk shit cuz know they will never grow balls remotely big enough to even DREAM about getting air like that. Bottom line, if you dont like it, find some xrunner threads. Otherwise, nothing but props should be going Reliks way. Good shit man

    I moded 1999 Taco so much it had turned to Land Cruiser
    I would still put zip tie on shroud just to make sure it stays there. Just a precaution ;)
    BTW Awesome jump and ignore "web wheelers"



    I think Mods need to start giving day bans for people who constantly turn technical threads into opinion threads.
    OP asked specific question so either provide suggestions or go to Off Topic
