The bull bar I should have shopped more and bought the Fabtech Baja Bar. And now since somebody hit my bull bar thus denting it, I can't sell it.

The jury is still out on the 4.6L and lack of pw/pl/pm

I love my leveling kit, wheels & tires but may be adding a steering stabilizer.

Sometimes I regret lifting my truck at all to begin with..........



























Like when I'm drunk and bust my *** from the fall.

i had one regret until last week. after hearing my brother's clean sounding factory audiophile system with the sub in the back in his Mark LT, i was kicking myself in the a$$ for not spending the extra cash to get the same system in my xlt when i bought it. but last week i installed a system that makes the audiophile system sound like a transistor radio with a busted speaker.

NO REGRETS HERE!

Taking the leveling kit off and not adding an AAL when I got the truck lifted. Would have given me a couple more inches of lift. Also regret not having lockers installed when I had my gears installed. Wife says I can go get them installed, but will now have to pay additional labor costs if I do it.

Only regret is that stupid a$$ Airaid intake. Sounds like crap. Airaid won't admit a faulty design.

Close to mine. More like not having the $$$ to get exactly what I'd like.

Would rather have a warn x-former on the front. But to possibly afford it having to go with an offbrand guard and a front reciever hitch and offbrand winch.

Having to go with low end nerfbars instead of electric ones.

etc...

My last two trucks were on 37s and 38s. That being said, I am very happy with my current setup. I have no regrets other than not getting a sunroof. I sure do miss that.

My truck rides excellent, makes decent power, sounds great. It draws enough attention still while not being so big that it is useless as a DD.
