    My biggest regret would be doing a 2" lift and AT tires at the same time. I now have a slight driveline vibration and I don't know which one caused it. It's not bad only does it around 50 to 52 mph, but me being a little OCD, it bothers me a lot. So my advise would be to do things "ONE AT A TIME" and make sure you have it right before doing something else that might affect the drivability of your truck. Other than that, most mod's are not that big of a deal. So enjoy making your truck what you want it to be.

    My biggest mistake? I wish I had bought a Miata instead. It would go so much better with my ascot and ice bucket for my Chardonnay...

    It's easy to fall into the "I might need it at some point" trap with mods. I did that on my first Taco and learned the hard way. A little older and a little wiser now, my approach has become "as few mods as possible to comfortably get the job done." When I started really getting away from home on camping trips, it clicked. Weight became a factor and I realized I did not want to break a CV or drag my fuel tank across a rock 20 hours from home. Also, it's no fun listening to aggressive tires while crossing multiple states in one day.
