    I've spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on stuff I don't need. I honestly don't have any regrets right now... but I'm sure I would/will if I tried to sell my truck.

    Sure I'd do stuff differently, but it's a learning experience and there's no way to learn if you don't make your own mistakes. Not to say I don't learn from reading all of your mistakes (not you personally), but my mistakes sting more... so it's a better lesson.

    I don't think the 17 Tacoma offered the cavalry blue as a color choice?

    Nope. Cement was the Pro color and Inferno trickled down from the 2015 Pro.

    I would have gone for the skinny 33's...not bothered with a rack, tonneau, softshell tent and gone straight to a GFC. I still may do that, as even an inch in tire diameter likely would have saved me from bottoming out on a lot of the trails and I'd have much less damage.

    Dude, I just installed DD SS3 Pros...I have them aimed low and feel bad whenever they're on while driving around. They're so bright I have decided to just point them straight and dedicated them to bad weather use only

    I should have asked Camille out back in the day, but was too dumb to notice the hints she was dropping.

    If you are being honest, can you say why?

    Curious why you say you wouldn't AC again?

    I would have done more research, but I needed a new car and always wanted a Tacoma, so we pulled the trigger. Very happy with the truck.

    I have a baby now, and just buying and unloading groceries was a pain in the ass in my garage, even getting my dog in required him to go under the door and into the rear.

    No problem. She was asking about you, so I thought I’d pass the message along. The paternity test came back and turns out it’s yours.

    I am being honest, long distances at highway speeds are unpleasant. I've become accustomed to it, but can't help but feel like I'd rather have 4.88s.

    Mobtown 3piece skids, sliders, 5.29s, OVtune 2.0 for 5.29s and 33s, 255/80R17 KM2's are my other mods.

    I’ve never regretted a vehicle purchase....for very long. Dump it and move on bro’s. Life is too short.

    That is honest. I appreciate it. I assume it’s the high RPMs that are bothersome. I might be alone, but I really wish there was a 4.56 option for these trucks. I put a lot of highway miles on my truck and am hesitant about the regearing.
