Oh! You meant the Jeep.

I might have opted for a 4-Door.

I would have spent the money for the right bumper.
LOL Bud!! We all got one of those stories.. As far as JK related, I probably woulda waited and got a 6 speed Rubicon.. Thats it though.

I would have waited a few months to buy it. I could not find a manual hardtop in a subtle color within 500 miles.
One of these days I am going to get a hardtop...

Default Man, just a couple of years earlier...

I would have bought my Jeep a couple of years ago when I was the jeep, truck, tire and accessories buyer for an aftermarket distributor, sure would have made things a lot cheaper and take much less time to mod - nothing quite like a "buyers discount"....but I have still have friends who are reps in the field...so it helps a little.

Other than that - I maybe would not have used my Mopar bucks on mud flaps and the bra - yeah I know. There's always ebay and I have just started so there is plenty of time left for regrets.

1. Instead of starting with the procomp 4" lift I wish I had know about Teraflex or Rock krawler, coming from trucks to jeep there is a huge difference! But soon one of the two will replace it!

2. I would have kept all the take off parts and offered them up to those that need them.

3. should have got synthetic line instead of steel cable for winch

4. wish I had found floor drain plugs sooner( had four inches in the interior that day!)

5. Found JK Forum sooner

Four hours ago, I would've made sure my brand new, freshly-painted Brawler Lite front bumper was steady on the sawhorses before stepping away and watching it fall on the jack stands, then the garage floor.

I would've bought a front D44 when MOPAR was giving them away.

Wish I invested in Apple and Google.

Bought a loaded up Sahara, instead of a strip down '12 Rubi. Wife wont shut up about having Nav, leather etc... Can't blame her though since I have 2 JKUs.
