Leaving the hood up when closing the garage door....SCREEEEEACH!

I did the exact same thing!!!!

1 Let my oldest daughter drive it. Cost me a left front fender and I paid for the other guys fender also.
2 My wife drove it to work and was hit in pass rear quater pannel knocking rear axle cross wise. the other guy paid.
3 Let my oldest boy use it. Was a wonder I didn't loose them both. He is over 40 now and I said I did not know how fast the Bronco would go and he said over 100. Better to know now than then.

OK I will play-

1. Putting on the hard top
2. taking off the hard top (should've just tossed it)
3. Holley 650
4. scratching up the doors putting on the removable door hinges
5. screeching the tires around the corner and finding out that the bar that goes across the tailgate on the BestTop, will fly off if the windows are not in...
6. Buying 3 point seat belts from summit (they send me 2 different styles and colors)
7. Throwing my fan shroud after an hour of trying to reinstall it - those things are a lil expensive...
8. Not switching to Bilstein shocks sooner
9. buying it at the peak of the economy, could've save a couple grand
10. Not having a bigger garage or wallet to fit another one...

10. Chewing up the radiator because of replacing factory motor mounts with factory motor mounts. $ 400
9. Spending money to "upgrade" drum brakes before upgrading to power and disc. $ 500
8. Tearing flares off because of too little clearance. $ 300.00
7. Hanging hard top under second story deck with cheapo chinese j hooks, (when it came off in the wind storm it sheared off a fender flare luckily missing the body. Another set of flares $ 150
6. i Using paint on bed liner instead of getting the rhino or line x initially
5. Buying a freshly painted Bronco not realizing that a human being could and will bondo over duct tape.
4. buying a headlight booster harness in an attempt to fix a phantom wiring problem then buying the new harness.
3. I will never not use locktite on track bar bracket bolts again lest I get another dose of "death wobble".
2. Buying a new Davis unified ignition flame thrower distributor, then switching to EFI and obsoleting it $325
1. The number one thing I have done is to my Bronco that I will never do again is to be too gentle on it when wheeling on the trails. I vow to wheel it harder than ever and raw hide the heck out of it like the trail rig that it is, take that route that I haven't been and on if it breaks fine.

Things I'll never do again:

10. Spray-paint any small metal part (esp. a chromed one) black.
9. Repair/replace the mechanical clutch linkage.
8. Listen to drunk passengers who want to go wheeling.
7. Slow down while mudding to avoid a tree smaller than my leg.
6. Put a wooden block upright on a floor jack on a board in the yard while replacing spring shackles.
5. Tighten the axle U-bolts by "feel".
4. Blast the rear wheels through a ditch so the rear bumper doesn't get hung.
3. Tow a V8 FWD car facing backward on the trailer.
2. Buy anything in the zone.
1. Tune/rebuild a carburetor.
