    3" Toytec spacers, Bilstein 5100s in the back with add a leaf and overloads removed.
    3 inch billet coil spacers are a bitch. Worst money I've ever spent.

    When i first bought my taco i immediately wanted lift/wheels/mt tires. But after reading all of the threads i am now happy staying stock with just some minor appearance mods.
    One thing i regret is buying 265/70/17 mud tires, i found them cheap on craigslist and thought they looked cool. They suck in snow and are loud as hell on the highway. When its time for more tires im going with a a/t tire or some regular all season tires

    I regretted my wheel choice for my snow tire package.

    I ended up tracking down a set of OEM wheels for cheap and made a few bucks on the deal, but I definitely disliked the black wheels I was using.

    Other than that and not getting a sunroof installed when I had the chance, I have very few regrets, which is real nice.

    Ended up buying sliders. Sold them, but not at what I paid. Should've got what I really wanted in the first place.

    They ride a little stiff set on 1'' of lift, But i really wish i would've saved for some sway-a-way coil overs, or some OME shocks and coils (I think they would give a better ride)

    I'm going with the "cool" new gauges mod in my 98 Tacoma. I tore my dash apart to put in new silver colored gauges. I had no directions, just started tearing into it. When I went to put in my gas gauge I screwed the spring up and was too impatient to buy a new spring. I put my dash back together. What I was left with was 3 screws that had no home. And. . . . . . . a gas gauge that with a full tank reads about 3/4 full. The best part is driving around on empty and guessing when I need to fill up.
