Why you don't jump your truck without LT:

not all 4 bangers are 5 luggers

 

is there an "airborne tacomas" thread? sounds like a good idea

 

You can start with this. Now to find someone, other than Paul to have survived this one!!!

 

Rene (tacoskim) hit the same jump with no damage either

 

Nice!!!

 

^ an older one of paul before a lot of mods

 

^^ Rene (tacoskim)

 

Did you at least get pics or video of said jump?

Sick pics above!

Wow, if only I could use them. Thanks for offering though!

Damn, I think I know where I went over on 6 inches...

Thought #1: Wheeee! Thought #2: Whooops. Thought #3: I fucking love Toyota trucks! Thought #4: Wait a second, I'm not Neil Armstrong... Thought #5: I hope I didn't break the flux capacitor. Thought #6: I wish I would've filmed that!

Hey thanks man! This will prove useful I'm sure.

I guess it's a good thing I only had to give my ex a Toyota Camry for this truck!

I did not. It was just a spur of the moment trip and I left the camera at home... Sick pics indeed.

 

thats pretty wild stuff

 

I havent jumped my truck since I got LT lol

 

Dude it looks like you bent/broke more stuff then just the LCA but I can't fully tell. I would look at EVERYTHING on the front.

For example Last weekend I hit a semi truck size boulder with my tuck durning a prerun of the Ridgecrest course before we raced and I Bent my DOM bumper, Broke 3 grade 8 bolts, bend a ball joint, Bent all of my alignment tabs completely flat on that side, snapped a bolt in the spindle and have to replace the spindle, and Trashed a week old KMC Enduro. And we just clipped that rock. Bounced off with the bumper and then hit the wheel on it.

 

Honestly, I've looked it over and I can't find anything. I'm not sure if I should be surprised that it broke or surprised that more didn't break... I'm sure that rust was a factor. I'm on the fence about fixing this truck up stock and selling it off for a 4x4 or keeping it around for fun.

Sorry to hear about your truck.

 

Its fine man. I got a long weekend ahead of me fixing it. I'm glad me or the guy with me didn't get hurt. It could have been MUCH worse. Another team did the same thing but on the driver side and it Ripped everything clean off thats sucks. And then I found a nice spindle for $100. Total it will be like $250-$300 to fix it :/ but that not bad.

 

Got any pics?

 

honestly, this is the perfect reason to get some LT arms

 

Here is the truck the got its shit ripped off. If I can get the better pictures from my friend I'll throw it up later.


Here is us working on my truck at the race. We spent 7 hours during our down time trying to get it drivable so I could get it home from CA to AZ. We hit the boulder at night time. Prerunning didn't start until 10PM.


Team G&R broke a Walker Evens Bead Lock They hit some HARD to do that. Another team rolled their race truck during qualifying. And everyone was getting flats and bending rims. It was super Rocky out there
