    So maybe a new twist on a thread.. Forgive me Tacoma for I have sinned... What things, mods, fixes or parts did you cheap out on.. embarrassed you did or fixes you cut corners on that you wouldn't want anyone to know about :)

    I will start..

    My current windshield washer fluid came from the dollar tree...

    MY CV's are Chinese special from TRQ

    This.

    I wasn't happy with the angles of my fogs in my new steel bumper, so I just zip tied them into place. Six months later...they're still in place.

    Oh I like the idea of this thread...

    I dumped money into the OEM rear leafs. Added 2 extra leafs and an anti-wrap leaf on top to the tune of $500. Waste of time, still wraps and clunks. OME Heavys going in next weekend, should have gone that route in the first place.

    Dollar Tree washer fluids have the best tops that unscrew fast and easy, as opposed to that dumb shit every other company washer fluid jugs come with. That "child-proof" squeeze to turn crap.
    I was disappointed when I could no longer find them at Dollar Tree; not sure if it was discontinued.

    It might even be cheaper and more convenient to buy washer fluid concentrate of some kind and mix your own at home. An Audi dealership was kind enough to give me some for free before; it seemed to go a long way.
    The instructions on it specified the ratio based on what temperature you intended to use the vehicle in, for methanol concentration to have freeze protection I think. Which meant not much concentrate added to water for me, since I lived in a non-freezing area. Which made the concentrate last even longer.
