I went over a curb by accident and it went clunk.

    Well it was more like something bottomed out like a thud. It still drives like normal. And I looked to see if anything was broken and the plastic parts are still there. But anyways I was driving and I didn't see the curb and I fell off it going well kind of fast. But it was a normal curb that you see in the road. It's not like a foot high but like 8 inches. And I put on the brakes after the front wheel fell off it so the back wheel didn't make a big clunk. Do you think the alignment is messed up or not?

    People put their trucks through a lot worse than a curb, and a lot of them do it in stock trucks. I bet the worst you did was come down hard on the bump stops because you bottomed out your shock. Don't worry about it, your truck is more than likely fine lol.

    Sounds like you drove off it (falling down), you are probably all right -- if you drove into it (climbing up) that is a much harder hit.

    I missed the "Bed Mat Theft Mod" thread the first time around. Thanks for this, great way to start my morning.

    As to this thread, OP should probably just part it out, it's likely totaled. I'll give you $50 for the bed mat....$20 if it's got holes drilled in it.

    Another informative thread! TW is an absolute dumpster fire (most of the time), but I cannot look away! :)

    I drive over curbs for fun all the time. I call it urban wheeling. There’s no point in having off road racing shocks on your truck if you don’t use ‘em.

    Back in April 2021, right before my very last tennis match to end off my high school career, my opponent, who happened to drive a brand new 2020 Toyota Tacoma SR, drove straight into a curb at at least 20mph. I beat him 6-3, 6-1 and a couple days later our team won the state championship. Hope he doesnt see this

    Check your curb weight for cracks.

    Lots of Curb Appeal in this thread.

    What are the biggest tires you can run over a curb without impacting alignment?
