    Nope, my ample OCD hardly allows this one. If I started one anywhere it would be in my canopy where I already have about 1000 stickers plastered on the bedsides. My interior is very clean and straight to the point

    Cold Air, level kit, cosmetics, and way more lights than I should have.
    I wonder if anyone has any suggestions for mirror/camera packages that are of higher quality? (won't die in 3 months)

    I wouldn't bother with the mirror dash cams. Had one for a little bit and hated it. If you are looking for an awesome dash cam checkout the Thinkware F800 Pro: https://amzn.to/2JbbX3x I've been running it for awhile now and love it. Bonus feature is it warns you of upcoming speed camera traps.

    It's been a while since I've seen someone post doing this mod. I did this exact mod and really dig the look and illuminated lettering. Comes in handy of course at night which I've used several times.

    I've had the F800 Pro for 2 years now and I enjoy having the extra monitoring (front and rear). I've got my parking mode set to capture video if it senses the vehicle being hit or shaken. How about you?

    Do you know by chance how to adjust the volume of voice for "event detection"? That voice is borderline loud and annoying.

    Not to clutter this thread up any further, but there should be a volume setting under Dash Cam Settings --> System Setting. This should adjust the voice guidance volume, but the last I checked, it didn't have any effect on the volume of the the "event detection" voice volume after the device noticed movement when parked. If you don't have a parking incident mode activated, you may not hear this. And maybe I'm incorrect, since recent updates may have resolved this, but it kinda drives me nuts not being able to quiet her. My passengers are sometimes "what the hell is that?" reaction.

    I have the F800 Pro as well and love it. Except for the fact I've found no way to turn the voice off (it's funny, I just tried looking this up today). I don't need her to do her little speech every time I start the truck. The only resolution I found was just to turn the volume to 0.

    oooh, we are just getting started
    Found a deal on my somewhat local FB Marketplace for some 2019 takeoff rims. I was wanting to go black with my rim, so this was right up my alley. Finally got around to getting them mounted today.

    ended up getting a full new set of lugnuts as well, since the originals were wildly swollen. The tire tech guy and I are quite impressed with the quality vs. price:

    Does anybody know how I can clean up/fix my headlights? They’re not foggy or scratched it seems the protective clear coat peeled off in the Arizona sun or something. Looking for products or suggestions.941BD066-0AFE-483D-B58B-439EDCD2EAE1.jpg 665FB8CB-8ABF-4357-9F55-63339A866241.jpg

    Put the capper back on for the winter and hoisted the cross bed tool box into the rafters. So much for my sports car and back to practicality.

    Thanks for that. I'm a little torn because I do like knowing the "event detections" that occurred while parked, but it's just a little loud. I think maybe I'll try and find the speaker and put a piece of tape over it and see if that quiets her down. Do you keep yours on volume 0?

    I'll be taking a picture like this soon. My family is getting the new 3rd Gen Tacoma. I have a 2nd Gen and a 91' Pickup. My fiance has a 1st Gen. (And the family has a Tundra, so I'll probably try and fit that in).
