Me too but I was 14 months....Also, I should have gone with 35's instead of 33's....but that opens up more $$$ out of my pocket for a re-gear....

i shouldn't have bought a CAI....should have gone straight for a snorkel!

X2... wish i didn't waste the effort and money on a BB. Other than that I'm quite happy with what I purchased and my other mods to date.

3 months in....

I would have waited for half-doors.
I would have gone for the stripped version. (what good are power windows if the doors are always off )
I should have talked to the wife about tire replacement. She says its a waste to abandon the awful SR-As and purchase "noisy" larger tires.


I would have bought one sooner.

3 years and everything is good in my books. I probably should have trimmed the fenders sooner.

I shouldn't bitch, because of the smokin deal I got on my '08, BUT since we are here......

I wish I could have got it with 4.10's, locking +LSD rear, half doors, power locks, and most of all a F'ing center console

Everything else has gone off without a hitch so far.

i would of waited for a different color that i wanted.

i would of got Mygig

would of waited to get steel fenders instead of Xenon

would of got 5:38 instead of 5:13 ( i now have the 5:38 sitting on my office floor)

6" long arm Teraflex instead of 4" short arm

40's instead of 37's

Walker Evans instead of American Racing

the sad part is i am going to replace most of what i have already bought.

moving forward i need to make up my mind before i buy

i am not very patient
