    They work great. I got a set for my wife’s Prius. Since I picked up Huskys I didn’t need them for me.

    Highly recommended mod for anyone with carpet mats.

    We’re good with using camp chairs. Not need to stand 7nder it for now. Plus less likelihood of getting wet when raining

    I think this is pretty much the consensus of everyone that gets this update. It’s great! I actually, for the first time, noticed how much it still searches for gears between 4-6 quite a bit. I took my truck in today to get serviced and although you do not have to flash your truck back to stock with the OVTune, I wanted to just in case. I also wanted to see if I could feel/tell a difference in the two since I have been running the Tune for a month now. I received the update prior to flashing my truck so that was my stock flash I went back to. I didn’t notice much at the beginning that was too different with my short drives here and there, but I noticed a big difference while driving on the highway today. I could tell a big difference in the lack of holding the higher gears and it reminded me of why I got the Tune in the first place. The Shifting was still smooth for the most part but when the gears were shifting back and forth on the highway it wasn’t as smooth. I still think the update by Toyota is night and day, but just thought I’d give a little feedback of my experience today with going from the Tune back to the TSB update stock flash.

    Congratulations Greg, looks good!
    BTW I'm surprised that you weren't the one who came out with the Crock Pot Mod given your passion for grillin' & cooking.

    I’m replacing the wiper blades on my Taco soon. What did y’all replace them with? Looking for blades that work well in rain/snow conditions. Thanks fellas and fellettes (can’t forget the pretty ladies).

    Just a can of this, some painters tape and some wooden BBQ skewers to peel off the excess.

    I have tried the expensive brands that last a year to 18 months but others have stated the best blade at the best price is Toyota brand refills from the dealer. Not the entire blades. Wish I did not trash my originals or I would buy those myself. I would suggest trying that first. Others have stated they get longer life than the brand name replacements.

    On my 2nd gen. I've used RainX brand winter blades but honestly I see no significant difference over the stock Toyota wiper blades. For me it was just more convenient to go to Walmart than to go to the dealership. I think the originals worked just fine. There may have been a slight advantage with the winter blades due to the covering over the blade (for lack of a better term) bracket/support. But here in the Northeast wet snow sticks to just about everything. That said I'm satisfied with the performance of the stock blades. Just my 2 cents.
