1. Bracket Lift, I didn't put it on, but I definitely didn't like it
2. thick torsion bars on stock arms. Yeah, I learned teh hard way.
3.Step Tubes. Get real sliders, you can still step on them.
4. Allpro Disc Parking Brake. I'm giving it one more shot before I take it out ot the field and put it out of it's misery.
5. Skyjacker springs. Pretty stiff
6. Bilstein 5100 shocks. WAY TOO STIFF
7. Automatic Locker. It ain't that bad, but knowing what I know now, I woudl have saved for an ARB. I'll be replacing it anyway in the future with an ARB.... so you get the picture.

 

i regret that the previous owner put on a truck visor. thats gonna cost me some money to fix the damage...

 

Great thread! I regret buying a truck with a lost title.... thats a PITA!

 

I have Rancho 5000's that are listed for even heavier vehicle than the 4Runner and I love mine. With my 2" lift and slightly larger tires I have a great ride.

 

OME 60027 shocks on the rear of my 4Runner. Rides like a lumber wagon. Fronts are alright, but the rears are shaking my teeth out. Anybody have ideas other than the suggested break-in period?

 

haha wow nice dead thread bump

but if i was gonna say something it would be spending at least $800 on the exhaust before i solid axled it

the $600 train horn, pointless but frikken awesome haha

 

600 bucks?! dang.

 

haha yea the best ones go for like 1500 bucks. it was one of those things i thought would be cool but id never have, then i figured out i could have one. i swear i need someone sitting next to me while im searching on the internet to punch me in the face if im about to order something i dont need.

 

I reget NOT modifying my stock front crossmember when i did my bumper..
Tacoed that baby like no other

 

i regret doing all the mods on my old 81

 

replacing the blown 3.0 with a "new" one when i bought my truck with a bad moter. For 200 less i could have bought a 3.4 to swap in sooner.

 

somewhat regret my flatbed. But had to pass inspection, and it was easier to do that then do the body work on the bed which was pretty well gone.

 

for sale sign in the window mod

 

I regret the black headlight housings from eBay. The beam pattern was horrible so I went back to stock. Doesn't look as cool but I least I can see the animal I'm trying to run over.

Mods I love that others regret: brush guard, visor.

 

Like my LCE CA legal header....but don't like that it's 02 flange is over half way to the CAT, instead of on the collector flange or something like that. Trying to figure out if I need a heated one and how to install it in an 87..... Yeah, Grrr. lol.

Regret the Rancho 5000's as well. I drove a 24' Mack with Solid Suspension for a summer......yeah, kinda like that.

OH, and regret letting the machinist talk me into keeping the original CAM when doing a full rebuild.... more of an 'OOPS' than a mod, lol. However, LOVE the 261 that I swapped in! Thanks Tod and Ted!

 

I do wanna say that I reversed my opinion on the visor, my truck just looked sexier with it on

 

buying 33s without gears! cant even do 60 on the freeway now and i burn alot of clutch wheeling..

 

In my 4Runner I regret swerving out of the deers way. Ended up with the upside down in a ditch mod.

In my Tacoma I regret not having the block surface machined before putting the head and all my new parts on, because now I get to do it again.

 

I regret buying a used set of ATs so I could swap out my MTs. Alot of work, a little better gas milage, but poorer wet traction braking. Then couldn't resale the dang things.

Not cleaning my heater out when swapping motors and/or using "lowtox" antifreeze one or both of these cost me several weekends changing headgaskets and waiting for parts.

 

Kinda regret the side exhaust. It's fun and my friends love it, but when sliders go on I'll have to redo it, and it might look a little immature.
