Ok time to laugh at eachother... everybody has done something to thier truck wish they didnt from a BIG APC sticker to cutting sumthing they knew they shouldnt have!

...What will you admit to doing!?!



Off the top of my head i cant think of someting i have done to this truck cuz i've been so picky about what i'm doing with it....

BUT.. my truck is always in the garage and this past winter i was soo bored in my house i wanted to go sumwhere and there was like 6-8" of snow on the ground/driveway and I think i got about 20ft down my driveway and got the truck stuck in the snow cuz my frame sits about 4" off the ground and spent about an hour just gettin it stuck more trying to rock it free! Ended up having to wait in the morning to dig my truck out! hehe got it all kinda sideways in the driveway when i left it :P

LED's in the cup holders of my explorer center console, and then telling people about them. They won't be making it to the next console mod - I'm using the ash tray version and I'm putting gauges in it that pop up when you open the ash tray.

They weren't really easy because I had to make an electrical circuit to make them all work. And then I had to figure out how to make all the wires fit in that little space. I regret it more because when I turn them on, they blind me!

my top dumbest mods were i put a nascar truck style wing on the back of my truck (only lasted like 2 weeks lol) Neon under body black outs, and i tried to do some crazy spine texture fiberglass thing underneath my tonneau cover which looked cool for a day then started to crack and look like butt. It was a learning experience :lol:

lol! After I lowered my truck my mom asked me:

"Why did you lower it like that? Couldn't you just get what your g/f has (SLP bodykit) to make it look lower?"

I almost fell over laughing.
