Upgrades you regret

I have the Flowmaster 50 duals.. pretty decent sound , not too loud

 

Drone?

 

Not really, I'm 56 and the sound is definitely tolerable. There are times I wish I had a silent ride, and am considering a Borla one in two out muffler in the near future. This exhaust was on the truck when I bought it, so I have no reference to stock.. but when I think of drone It's when I m driving my Grand National

 

The Gashole has to be the most useless mod I have at this point. It really wasn't so when I bought it. Whilst it wasn't really necessary as there is a way with the OEM Tether to hang it so it don't dangle on the paint. I changed to a Stant locking cap that doesn't work with the tether and is too small to stay in the gashole. I realize there is a version that will fit the locking cap but I just haven't spent the $25 again. I just lay the cap on the Toneau cover. Its fun to say Gashole lol

 

HELL YEAH, GRAND NATIONAL! that's friggin' bad ass that you've got one of those. Those are sick cars.

 

Not a big Taco crowd in my area, only ever seen 1 real Pro and a handful of modded Tacos, and some of them are 2nd gens, I have seen one lite lettered grill once, thought it was cool looking and very few if any pro grills, so it is not over done in my neck of the woods, now Raptors & Jeeps are a different story... lol

 

Yes. I bought it in 1991 as a daily driver while in college from a little old lady. (Im completely serious)

Decked storage. Total waste of bed space and gives you minimal storage. Also makes the bed relatively unusable. Sold it, bought an Alu cab cap, and couldn’t be happier.

 

I’m seriously considering selling my DB and getting an Alu Cab. But I’ve been saying that for so long maybe I’m full of crap.

 

that is so cool... all built or more stock? you know granny was flooring people at red lights jammin metallicas kill em all album

 

Completely stock. She inherited from her father and owned a ceramics studio where little old ladies go to make Christmas and Easter figurines. She drove it a couple of months and it scared her. She put a sale sign on it on the side of a small street and my buddy who is a big Monte Carlo guy saw it and tipped me off to it.

 

TRD pro rims. Thinking about bronze for my black taco.

 

Plasti dip?

 

That's not even a c17. it's a C-5A

 

Base normally parks their C-5s at the other end of the Flight-line.

There's probably one behind my windshield.

 

Here's a C-17 for reference:

 

I had a super 44 put in. Way too loud. Switched to a magnaflow muffler(can't remember the model), much better. With the flow master the sound was awesome on the street but the highway sucked.

 

Minor upgrade that I reversed was replacing the rear license plate bulbs with LEDs. The LEDs were bright ... a bit too bright that it was washing out the image on the backup camera. I could buy some add-on eyelid type covers to cut down the brightness but I opted not to do that. Getting LEDs for brighter rear tail and brake lights which I did make sense to me for vehicle visibility and safety. License plate lights are not for either. So, I removed the LEDs and put back the OEM bulbs. ymmv

P.S. I have the OPT7 light bars also, so that further adds to the visibility of the truck from behind and less need for bright license plate lights.

 

That’s too bad LEDs didn’t work for you on the rear license plate.

I got the little cutout covers, which reduced nighttime glare in reverse.

Matter of fact, I need to change one out/both since they should be changed in pairs.
