I was just sitting in my truck in the driveway to pull it in to the shop to fix the rear end when I started thinking about all the junk I've broken over the years and what it has led to, so I thought I'd share it.
This is over 8 years and 5 diferent toyotas

4 blowed up 5.29 ring and pinions. fix- replace, gota love the genuine waranty.

2 blowed up lock-rights. fix- welded rear togeather, replaced front with detroit.

3 broken original heat-treat longfields and 5 broken stock shafts. fix-CR MOs baby!

3 broken rear leaf springs and 1 broken front. fix- replace. (coilovers this winter) :stirpot:

2 grenaded 22r's. one 3 weeks after buying my first toy, damn mud holes. fix-LCE 22re completeley balnced and too much stuff to go on about.

2 twisted 4 link bars on my second toy that also took out my driveline. fix-1/4" wall cromeoly link bars

2 blown 5 speeds. fix- replace.

A few tie rods. fix- 15-5 heat treated aircraft stainless tie rod and drag link.

2 steering boxes broke off frame (2 diferent trucks) fix- doubler plates

6 tacoed driveshafts, mostly rear. fix- replace rerars, 1/2 wall Taylorbilt Fab longslip front.

That's all I can think of right now. This does not count numerous head lights, fenders, beds, cabs, windows and whatever else isn't that critical, but hey, breakage is what makes you change you'r rig for the beter right? So I say bring on whatever is next so it wont hapen again. Damn I love wheelin.



My truck today.
