Things you wish you'd never spent your money on (4x4 and camping):

[Bob]

A bottle of glenfiddech.....

But you got rid of it very quickly LOL

[gaddy]

Cheap arse shower/toilet pop up tent
Zips already gone. Str8 to tip.

We've had our oz trail one since 2003 its getting a bit thin but the frame is still good , been thinking about just getting new walls made in vinyl with a good quality zip

[mudnut]

I know its not camping, but the disposable gas bottles and useless regulator (which is just a tap) to fit my TIG welder. Lucky to get 300 mm of weld out of it.

My list is fairly long but at the moment my biggest regret is MUD MAPS

My wife, before I met her camping was easy, would have mates ring me 5pm Friday and ask if I wanted to go camping and I would be ready to go by 5.30pm.
All I would need is tent, sleeping bag, chair, esky, beer, chops & snags.
These days it takes me a couple of days to pack the camper trailer with everything including the kitchen sink.

Wow! Certainly opened Pandoras Box.....some bloody classics.
Macca, you need help! LMAO
Those egg holders are a dead set loser too....I never had one and never broke an egg......bought on coz it seemed like a good idea, needless to say I'm back to the carton again.....

A bottle of glenfiddech.....

yeah wait! where did that end up???

[Ben-e-boy]

I regret getting a RTC damper POS. Going through a few sets of shocks before getting the Kings, should have forked out the money the first time, Same with the springs, they are still not right need another set to get the ride, travel and handling characteristics I am after.
Dropping the length of the front shocks to try and save the bushes and tie rod ends a bit and then having (and knowing) the hybrid arms coming
on the market. Now I dont have the travel I want but now have an increased service life of some front end componants and can now afford to have more travel, should have waited and not been so impatient.

Alot of the time I regret taking out the aircon to replace it with the radiator for my intercooler.

I have always wanted an allrounder. All rounders means sacrifice in certain areas of 4wding. Some of the sacrifices I have made are a bit too much. This I found out on the high country trip where there were some things I could make better without affecting it ability to crawl and flex.

Sooo I have been thinking about an entire setup change, recently finding out that the long arms can be engineered but only with a 2 inch lift. A 2 inch lift is the path I am going to go down now. Was at a mates place yesterday discussing what I can do about a fully bolt on antirock sway bar and shock mount setup so I still have the same flex, and increase stability all tucked into a 2 inch lift and 37 inch tyres

Forgot to add the Maxxis Bravo tyres I bought for the road, I wont buy them again,

[Winnie]

Silverstone extreme mud tyres. The Simex copies, they are crap! Ultimate grip offroad but I get so many punctures

[macca]

Macca, you need help! LMAO...

Its like the depression thing I feel a whole lot better now I have spoken to someone about it,
I just got to find one of you lot that care
