1st was messing with my suspension (2/4 drop)
2nd was having 2 ****y transmission rebuilds or maybe its my 24's, if thats the case i regat those but its hard to complain bout getting 24in wheels n tires with no dents or sratches for 1800 2+ years ago when tires alone were 1700+
3rd is having a gaslione diesel but thats a standard 5.4 3v mod lol
18mpg in a supercrew cant complain bout performance mods.
Other then my suspension n Diesel sound I love my truck.

Very little as essentially I have done barely nothing, but:

"It's not dirt, it's EXPERIENCE" decal, which I just took off the back window. Love the phrase, but didn't like the decal two weeks after buying it. Also, not getting the dealer to take off the little dealer sticker on the tailgate, I took that off today too, and scrached the paint a tiny bit.

Only other regret is not going and getting my grill guard sooner, love the thing, and in my opinion, it works well with the trucks look.

Other then those minor things, like others have said, wishing I would have gone with a higher trim level, I have an XLT, which is fine, all the convience features, but I think a KR with the 6.5ft bed would have been way more me, and the extra bed space would have been handy.

Ah wow how did I miss this thread 3 months ago? I don't really like my bushwacker flares. I'd like to yank and toss them in the attic but they scratched the crap out of my paint so I'm stuck till I can get the truck sprayed with some Line-X.

Bar none, my biggest regret is buying and putting on a supercharger on my truck.

Not getting 20s instead my 18s. 20 inch tires are considerably more expensive. Other than that I'm fine with my mods. I regret just a little, not much, spending money on stupid stuff and not saving for some cool parts. I'd love to have an 8 inch Rize kit but I think it's a lot more than I want to spend to do it right with the gears, huge tires, bad *** shocks, etc. Then I'd have to get an alarm to protect my investment. Then I wouldn't be happy with my sound system so I'd have to do that. It goes on and on so I'm content with my minor mods.

My biggest regret is not waiting the couple of extra weeks for the 305 BFG's and opting for the 285's. Oh well hope I don't have anymore!

Getting the Roush grill instead of holding out for the HD.
