Possibly a strange question..

Sorry in advance if I sound crazy, but has anyone ever tried jumping their tundra with Bilstein 6112’s and 5160’s?? Nothin crazy just a couple of inches or so..

 

Somebody did....

Haha! Didnt look too bad maybe I’ll be the next to try it

 

Make sure you post the video!

 

not sure if i should even contribute to this, but....you can jump anything! lol. i had an '89 Camry as a "dumb" 16 year old back in 02 or something with 250k miles that i jumped doing about 65-75(back roads in non residential area with a "hump" in the road) that got the tires cleared off the ground by about another inch or 2 more than that truck shown above. the landing was more on the down hill side so it absorbed the impact. launch and landing can determine alot!
DISCLAIMER: DO NO JUMP YOUR VEHICLE/YOUR PARENT'S VEHICLE/YOUR UNCLE'S VEHICLE/ETC AS IT IS NOT SAFE!



P.S....include video if such act is performed.

 

Hahahahaha!

 

I think I’ve slightly jumped every car I’ve ever owned. Usually across a set of railroad tracks. I jumped the tundra on a fire Road in big bear with stock suspension. Never anything hard enough to break stuff. Just a few inches. The first car I did it in was a 79 Toyota corona. Took it like a champ!

 

Hmmm. My buddy and i ended up hill hopping his grandma's delta 88 . That was late 80s and the thing was old then. Was about 50 ft long car I think. I swear it might have even had a gun turret on it.. anyways it made funny sounds after that. We diagnosed it as a "crushed tailpipe opening" from when the back landed on the back side of the hill. pried it back open as best we could. Damn kids.. not cool..

 

I have the stock fox shocks on mine and get about 2 feet of air jumping the set of tracks on our back road here.
It has caution of 5 MPH but when no one is around....

When I landed it recovered very nice with a slight bounce afterwards and I complained about the smooth boat like feeling.
My buddy said to me "It absorbed 6000 pounds from 2 feet at 65 MPH, it did fucking good"

 

a Polaroid of my 96’ Isuzu Amigo flying...circa 1998. Lol. It did that a few times just fine, buddies 94’ Nissan pickup broke his motor mount though...

 

Well you guys are making this sound like a good idea.. IF I find a spot for said action to take place there will definitely be a video taken

 

Thats an AMAZING shot man

 

I inadvertently jumped my tundra going about 35 over a large hump in the road (that I didn't see until it was too late) going to my nephew's soccer game once. Luckily no one else was in the truck to hear me apologize to it.

 

Hahah! I take it the truck made it out okay?

 

My whole driving career, there has been instances where I literally apologize to whatever vehicle I’m driving. Tell it it’s a good truck or car and pat the dashboard.

 

It did! Took it like a champ.

 

Thats what I like to hear!

 

every large pothole I hit, "oh crap, I'm so sorry" *rubs steering wheel*
