    Just wanted to see if anyone has installed this mirror on thier Tacomas to see how it works and how would it look on a Tacoma. i think ifit works it will be a nice little add-on for wheeling purposes.

    Is it just supposed to allow you to see the passenger side front tire? I think I would rather have something magnetic that could be taken off when I'm on the road and people might see my truck.

    Too few to list.
    I've seen one that attaches between the hood and the fender so there's no drilling involved, it's mostly held on by the hood and some double stick tape.

    Just another side mirror that you can angle that gives you extra visibility. I believe it was a Toyota Corona that I was in that had this set up.

    If you are really wheeling it would be ripped off in about 0.000025 seconds! Looks like a venereal wart.

    :p

    IF you look closely, it has two mirrors, one to see the front bumper line and the other for the driver's side front fender. Looks neat. And some of you guys sound like little ricers, who would rather make your truck look good than be funtional. It doesn't look that bad, and I'm sure it would help if wheeling without a spotter.

    Function over form. Its a truck for chrissakes!

    OK.. it looks like crap and would get tore off wheeling.. But would it help see into those blind spots caused by the B and C pillars when in traffic??
