    a few goodies here and there!
    Title says it all, what are your wishes - or are you satisfied?

    I took the advice of my father-in-law who is a truck enthusiast and ended up picking up a PreRunner 2WD because of the likely terrain in the Southern California Area - asphalt.

    Now being that I got my truck and started modding it. I realize wow I wish i had got 4x4 instead of PreRunner.

    So with that being said ill start this thread.

    "I wish I got 4x4"

    I wish I got a base model reg cab 4x4......instead of a sport AC... cause once modded they are unstoppable and most of the bells and whistle accessories I spent so much extra on are junk IMHO (except the intermittent wiperz).

    I wish I also spent lots of money on a coil lift so I could have the "taco lean" lift! Since my poor spacer lift is no good off road (according to TW)
