Upgrades you regret

Raptor lights - Makes me feel like the cool kid in high school I never was... Only problem is I'm 33.

Also, I'm on the fence about the TRD pro grill in general, and considering replacing with original LTD grill. What do y'all think?

 

Everyone has the heritage grill. I like the grill the trim came with. However, I don't like the chrome cheese grater grills. I think I would have changed that one.

 

This is what I am thinking about doing, slightly bigger tires on my taco, I would like to test drive said taco with slightly bigger tires tho...

Before my taco I had a Jeep Wrangler.. I bought the jeep stock and lifted it and put 35s on it. Drove like crap with 35s.. also did a re-gear.. thing would wander all over the freeway.

finally got rid of the E rated Mts for load range C all terrains. Rides like a cloud now.

I regret selling my shell now though....

 

DITTO. I prefer my stock grill. I always thought the pro grill looked kinda plain and cheap... regardless all of them are flimsy plastic that breaks all the tabs. My shit's mostly held together by zip ties these days. even my passenger headlight plastic mount broke the other day

 

Not getting step style sliders. Have to be a ballerina to stand on the tube style.

 

sPOD universal touchscreen control.

I had a more primitive control in my Jeep, but thought I'd like the newer, slimmer look. The touchscreen keeps failing and requires reworking every couple of years to the tune of around $150. If I can figure out how to put that primitive switch setup in my cab, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

 

I'm for the Pro grill... But I like the more sinister look vs the classy look..

To each their own though, you do what puts the biggest smile on your face...

 

I'm about to post some switches, switch panel, and relays if you want primitive, ha.

 

Yikes, yeah they all feel and look rather cheap

 

Yeah, I dig the classic look - just wish it wasn’t so overdone nowadays

 

My Toyo M/T 285/75R17s may end up as a regret...
After what I paid for these tires, I did not expect to see this amount of tread chunking from being offroad (I know rock crawling is hard on tires, but the Grabber X3 tires on my other (even more dedicated) rig look nothing even close to this). They also are wearing considerably faster than other tires I've had (BFG KM1 & KM2, General Grabber X3, the old non-Kevlar Good-year MT/R). At least they do have decent grip, and no sidewall issues to report.

 

I hate to break it to you, but we don't think about your truck.

You gotta do what makes you happy. If that's Christmas lights in your grille... carry on. If you don't like them, or want a change... shuffle it up!

Tis the the fun of these trucks, infinite options and variations.

 

ooh yeah. Hit em with the Vulcan IDIC

 

I put 265/75/16 Wildpeaks on my ‘22. Super smooth, quiet, comfortable, and no rubs at all. This combination has been fine on every off-road trail (Moab, Sedona, Co, ect) that I have attempted so far. My lack of skill holds me back much more than the size of my tires.

This is good to know. I wonder if the 50 would be more tolerable? I do want a little more sound out of my truck, but not a lot.

Also, what do you guys think about the cutback system vs just getting muffler installed?

 

I used to have a regular cab long bed 87 Toyota. That thing was THE BEST. I miss it so much. SO. MUCH.

 

but most dont...I bought my truck used with the gashole, If I dont get out and start the fueling they let the thing just hang

 

Maybe a 50 would be better. Never tried anything besides a 40.
