    It would be distracting for me if I would’ve placed it in the vicinity of the instrument cluster. It mainly has information that I would occasionally want to know, so I don’t mind it being there.

    To each their own, for me a quick glance is all I need. I tested mine in the lower dashboard area and it wasn't good for me.

    What gauges do you have displayed? I programmed transmission temperature, but it told me it was currently “-39.9 F” so I believe pre-2001 trucks do not report it.

    I've got mine down there too but I have a UG. Mounted at an angle so it's easier to view. I don't like that even the radio location is a bit low but I have an old school tilting face head unit which makes it perfect for me.

    Next time you see one with heated mirrors grab them. I will buy them from you. Give you enough to make it worth your time.

    Curious, did you 3D print that snorkel cover or buy it somewhere?

    Why not just do the tundra brakes? Spend maybe another $200 and you can have better brakes

    I'd have to change out the master cylinder and booster and I have a list of mods a mile long...

    I actually bought some and returned them... :anonymous:

    Well, new brake calipers have been purchased, no going back now lol. I can do all that down the road. I have a lot of mods before the truck even is in a condition to be driven so I gotta tackle those first. The EBC rotors and pads seem even cheaper than if I purchased some rotors from Autozone. Figured it might be worth the price...
