This could be fun lol hopefully all generations will chime in here id love to hear everybodies mistakes.

HANDS DOWN my biggest mistake was way back when when i offroaded it, i tried drifting around a blind corner on a tight trail and ended up going head on into a tree. It was as bad as you could imagine. Found out that my airbags worked great, cracked the bumper in 3 places i think it was, bent my grill mounts, bent the driver side frame pad, yeah it sucked

not going straight to a 6" lift, despite all the recommendations on this forum. I have a 4" lift with 35s and wish I went to 6" with 37s. I get it, it's not catastrophic, but I do shed a virtual tear from time to time. LOL

Where do I begin lol its my first vehicle cause I’m only 17 so Ive done all the stupid teenage stuff, speed faster than the tires are most likely rated for, burnouts, drifting in gravel and dirt, almost crashing into a tree because of drifting in the dirt, and a whole lot more that I’m probably forgetting [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I started getting sticker shock while ordering my 2015 2500 6.4. I should have checked a few more option boxes.

Offroading my truck no to long ago, didnt pay enough attention to the terrain and hung myself up on a tree stump on my running board. The dip right after the stump I didnt see and bam bent the crap out of it. Not sure if it did anything to my cab, but I know that my running board bracket is thick and now twisted.
