Did a little wheeling and sustained some body damage...whoops.

Slipped off the side-hill I was on and some crunching of the tail light and hatch metal followed. Damn, I had avoided this for so long...

I know, childs play for guys like Derek But this body was still pretty unscathed.

Maybe when I get my roof de-rusted and repainted, I'll get this purtied up, too

Ouch! I know what your feeling brother. I strive to keep mine nice and straight but also try not to be too big a wussy on the trails because of that. That being said my days coming, hopefully I make it as long as you did before it happens. So far all I've gots the Cherokee dimple in the right rear from slamming my rear bumper, the under carriage well thats a different story I gotta get more lift and some bigger tires.
Just out of curiosity, where were you wheeling?

My dad has an '08 tacoma like that, but stock height. They are pretty nice cruisin' rigs.

I guess the question is whether you would miss wheeling hard trails. If not, no harm done. If you are going to, then that truck is going to get all messed up when you break down (mentally) and take it out on something it shouldn't be doing I am pretty sure that is what would happen to me
