    Never tried to jump my truck ever actually. All I do is go to sedona and follow some of the moderately hard trails, or up here in flag, find back roads that are mostly grated and just enjoy those. That's why I wanted to ask and see because I've never abused the truck like jumping it or bottoming it out. There's no where around flag I could even imagine trying to so that

    And it is bullshit, my trucks been in so many times and all the service techs tell me is they've never seen a taco in this much

    Perspective, the shock mount cracked, replaced it at, and 2 weeks later after driving from home to campus in snow, it cracked again

    All you need to do is replace your shocks with the baja package shocks! Then you will be ready for 2 miles of 4 foot whoops!

    Lemon laws are pretty solid in that you have to have around 4 repair attempts at the SAME thing that have either failed, or left you without your truck for a period of from 60-90 days depending on the state. Right now, from your most recent post, the only duplicate issue you have is 2 cracked shock mounts (Assuming this since you said "cracked again") You are nowhere near where you would need to be for a lemon. Unfortunately you did end up with a problem vehicle. Good luck and I hope she settles in and starts going smoother for you.

    The question is why did they crack. Do you have any pics? I'll bet you could gusset it up and never worry about it again fairly easy. I have abused my truck for years, and broke some stuff along the way. When it breaks, I figure out why it did, then rebuild it stronger than ever. I didn't go crying to some lawyer.

    That's what I'm thinking... That it's gotta be a lemon and something isn't right from the start.
    And it's 4 cracked mounts so definitely in the criteria for a lemon.

    I'd fix and rebuild, but I don't wanna spend money when it can be covered

    I seriously doubt you will win a lemon law in this case, but it's your truck. feel free.
