What is the biggest purchase you regret buying for your truck?

Not true! I NEEEEEED all of it!

 

Pure purchase regrets?

OEM bug deflector, had one on my 1st gen and dug it, looks like shiza on the 2nd gen, took it off after the first ride with it, it made so much wind noise couldn't stand it, then two weeks later got a sport hood, and wind deflector on a scooped hood (functional or not) makes no sense. Fortunately I bought it used from a junk yard although it was in good shape.

Mud tires, BFG KM2, again used, they had about 75% tread life on them, jeep take offs, they lasted about 6 months, the last month of which they were pretty sketchy in the rain. Could never get them to balance real well and they didn't do any better off road than BFG Ko2's. Should have just waited another month and got new Ko2's.

I know there is more but that's all that's coming to me now.

 

Yep, the whole KB VooDoo Gore thread is gone!

Who would have thought, that a vendor has so much influence on TW to be able to have negative reviews removed?

 

Leveling kit... Should have just put in a lift

 

My truck.
I should have bought the loaded full size ram I came home with the week before. It atleast came with heated mirrors

 

6spd manual when in stop and go traffic for 40 minutes!
Pre-runner when stuck in slushy mud on my dad's property on super bowl Sunday!
Access cab when wanting to go somewhere with more than one adult!
So with all that I'm loving my dclb 4x4 after selling the pre-runner!

 

Interesting thoughts about the oem tube steps, or nerfs. I love mine. Now i dont do any hardcore wheeling, just the occasional trail. The main reason i bought them was for paint protection from road grit and to access my roof. After shortening oem mud flaps in front, the doors were taking a beating from sand and rocks in the winters of new england. Another plus, theyre aluminum so they wont rust like many steps you see on the road with holes in them. For what i do with them, no problems.

 

Alright......here it is........my biggest regret buy for my Tacoma:























Reason being that it's gonna become obsolete as soon as I get my windows tinted/UV protected.







The only other twinge I've had over my truck.....I wish I'd looked harder at Quicksand color.

Black has always been my favorite car color......but damnitman......Quicksand is really growing on me.

 

Relentless Fab Hi lift mount. Great product, but installed it and still haven’t brought the hi lift. Seems excessive for what I do (especially since I don’t have armor) and since I sleep in the back with the wife and dog and I can’t stand having the jack right next to me.

 

To small of a tire. Wish I would have gone bigger 40K miles ago. Just bought new tires and wheels, wish I would have gone bigger again.

 

I think he’s talking about his 3rd gen...

 

I know it’s been awhile and just wanted to comment about the tint. The tint changing color sounds like you didn’t use the appropriate cleaner on it. Most likely windex. There’s only a couple glass cleaners out there that are safe for tint.

 

Yeah probably, but no more tint for me, those were my days in AZ

 

Interesting, I had Weathertechs on my old Subaru Impreza and now I've got the Huskies on my 3rd Gen Tacoma.......Huskies are a way better fit in my truck than the Weathertechs ever were in my Subaru.....maybe it's a make / model thing more than a mat manufacturer thing....

 

+1... I love my Husky floor mats and it fits perfect.

 

Husky used to suck back in the day, Weathertech competition made them better

 

Ooh lawd, didnt know this. I have a 1/4" spacer on my driver side, better check when I'm home

 

I'm pretty sure you'll find the 3 lock nuts semi-loose. Tighten them too much and the poly just gets squeezed out. I eventually switched to aluminum.

 

Damn, so glad you posted this. All three were loose, one was loose enough for me to back it off by hand.
