    I regret buying my Retraxone mx cover. Nothing particularly wrong with it. It leaked little more than i liked and lost a little bed space but not terrible over all. I just really wanted a topper. So i sold the retrax, took a big loss and bit the bullet and bought a topper.

    Moral of the story. Just save up and get what you want instead of getting what you think is the next best thing lol.

    JBL with Entune/Nav.

    Sounds great no problems there.
    Entune is rudimentary, stale, inflexible and unreliable. Just sucks.
    Nav is ok, but other solutions are better.

    Problem is if I purchased a high end replacement aftermarket from Crutchfield I lose my sunk cost on the stock to get all the frankly expected freatures you might expect in the 21st century.

    Honestly, this. I mean, it looks the best, but I really wish I had more backseat space.

    Really no ragrets on anything I've purchased, but if I had to pick one, it would have been the Premium JBL Audio upgrade. I could have went with the base and upgraded myself for a sound setup that would have been much better than the JBL stuff. It's not bad, but it's not the best either for the price you pay.

    LOL I swear we are in the same place. Been looking into getting TC lowers and I agree, but I already have OEM front kings and Camburg UCAs. I just tell myself I don't want to deal with long travel to make myself feel better

    TRUE, the OEM kings are short AF. Luckily you could sell them, and put that money towards 12" and a relocate since that set up is cheaper than just the OEM kings. Plus now you can do it yourself :D

    Also I love my access cab. Works very well for my needs, but I understand it's not for everyone. Especially those that transport passengers around.

    I regret only finding Russian AK ammo on store shelves. Wolf and all the rest are JUNK compared with Chinese AK ammo. The Chinese cared to make it properly, and it showed.

    Also, Winchester Xpert steel shot is a barrel scratching DISASTER. Thanks, California environmentalists, the upland bird hunting community here is so grateful for your feel good junk science ammo restrictions. I've had to take up shotshell reloading, just to make proper "non-toxic" molar-shattering shotshells which won't wreck my shotguns. Thanks again, California liberals. #6 steel is about as effective on upland birds/small game as a restraining order in Somalia.

    I regret having to purchase TSS. I keep turning it off. It recurs like some resistant tropical fungus.

    I regret boutique environmentalist expensive gas in California.

    I want my late 80's 22R 4WD stick shift SR5 back from California car thieves. If I ever lose it and kill a quart of decent whiskey and wake up the next day with a strange new tattoo on my ass, it will be of that pickup. W/ my old hunting dog in the bed.

    Buying a long bed. Honestly it was a great deal. But I don’t need all that bed, and I live in Ny so finding parking for a truck this long is kind of a PITA.

    Buying this truck. I love it for what it is but I didn't realize how fast 1,150 lbs of payload disappears and how much I disregarded the rating in my 2007. Should have bought the 4Runner for fun and a trailer for hauling.

    I guess the back seat LED replacement could be brighter.
