What's the worst decision you've made with your Tacoma?

Took it on a trail that hadn't been used in years by anything wider than a dirtbike. Got pinstripes from hell and bashed one of my Predator steps on a hidden rock. Yeah I know it's a badge of honor and all, but all I see are scratches up and down a brand new truck. Lesson learned, don't play the game if you're not willing to accept the prize, and do your due diligence on trail maps and whether or not the trail is actually in use.

 

I did the same, but the RCI flavour.

 

Selling my 2001 tacoma extended 5spd 2.5l(?) 4cyl 4x4 wonder truck! My 2 young Kids hated that damn back seat.
Best truck I ever owned.
Would buy another but they are either too damn wore out or expensive as hell

 

Assuming one of those lessons was winter tires?

 

not doing my research 15 months ago and getting the sr5 SB, on plus got this 1 at reasonable payment, and the wife getting highlander shes been wanting

 

A wet boat ramp?

 

Geez, reading all these gave me an aneurysm... Glad my only worse decision was not getting an alignment when I got the lift/tires/wheels... Ended up chewing though a brand new set of KO2’s in about 20k miles. Lessons were learned, screw the $80 and get that alignment done weekly (just kidding). Also, buying a vehicle that I’m just feeding money from the rear end to only because it’s a pandora box of mods

 

He got a “return to sender” reaaaaaal quick

 

I’d love to have one but they’re pretty expensive for my budget

 

Not getting out to look at Moab -
Loudest bottoming out i’ve experienced. Engineer Pass was actually rougher, but i didn’t get any good pics there because the Taco kept moving. Here I had to hop out constantly to plot my course.

 

Looks like you had a good spotter in the driver's seat, anyway!

 

I think you have it backwards, he's spotting for his dog

 

He’s a terrible driver

 

Good ol' Florida sugar sand. Would be fun to know the tally of how many have fallen victim to it.
You could put me down for 4 or 5 times, easily.. lol

 

Biggest mistake I made was not getting a Tacoma sooner.

 

LOL, how did you manage to get out of this?

did you leave with any damage?

 

Reverse, and speed! And then plotting a better course. And, yeah, landed on the frame pretty hard in that pic. Hard to say what happened when, but my undercarriage is pretty banged up. Especially after Engineer Pass a week later

But hey, it’s only new once

 

mod it.

 

Buying with an automatic because I didn't want to wait to get a manual.
