    The only mods I regret are the ones I went cheap on first because I had to re buy the good one after.

    4runners stopped being cool in 1989... sorry not sorry. Here is my old 4runner. I looked at a 5th gen and it looked like someone smoking crack designed the interior, I went with the tacoma solely due to this....

    I get more use out of the longer bed than I do out of the back seat. Only gets used 3-4 times a year if the grandkids visit. And they'll just have to live with it :rimshot:

    SSO hybrid bumper, Warn winch, RCI skid trilogy, RRW sliders, everything in the cheap/free mods thread, and of course the frame recall work.
    I regret buying a S&W M&P Shield 9mmfirst gen. Trigger is like sandpaper, no consistent break, train spring for recoil, too damn small, and it's ugly.

    Haha, yeah, I thought I'd be doing trail rides and easy stuff, not getting into rock crawling, and need bigger tires to air down more for that.

    I regretted ordering my levelling kit and booking the install, so I called and cancelled.

    Felt amazing. I have modded the shit outta my vehicles for 20+ years. Such a waste of money, an addiction in itself LOL.

    I regret going brand new, convinced myself going new was the right thing to do at this point in my life. Wish I went another decent used 2nd Gen even though they are selling at crazy high prices here.

    Only mod I’ve regretted was installing the Retrofit HID headlights. Not that it was a bad product, I just couldn’t get them to not blind oncoming traffic after putting the Icon lift on. Took them out and installed the GE +130 Halogens and have been pleased ever since.

    Before buying the truck I checked online some accessories like mudguards, floor mats, door sill guards, badge overlays, tailgate inserts, TRD shifter, etc. Turns out you can get everything afterwards a LOT cheaper than having it installed on the truck.

    Thing is pretty much every Tacoma out there already has a trifold tonneau, mudguards, door guards, and a bunch of other things installed. The only truck without any accessories was 200 miles away. Luckily the dealer is willing to bring it over. :D

    Coming from Jeeps, I find Tacoma accessories quite inexpensive.

    PS - I like the TRD Pro grille, but that one looks like one very expensive giant piece of plastic.

    Buying the tech package with trifold tonneau cover. The tech package is a terrible interface, I use my phone for everything. The cover was nice but I already upgraded to Diamondback.

    Cheap Tube steps, three years and the things are starting to rust... Bought them mainly for door ding protection.
