    Oh I did raise the back of the drivers seat. That is more to take pressure off my hamstrings, but does help with visibility over the hood to some extent.

    I had a 1st gen. I understand where you're coming from. Took a while, but I got used to it. You have to get some trail time in to recalibrate your spatial awareness.

    I installed two cameras up front. I glued neodymium magnets to them so I can put them where I want. I was testing blind spot monitoring in this pic.

    I can add two more if I want to get fancy.

    In an ideal world, Toyota would put the bulging hood scoop on Sport and a huge fucking downward dent on the TRD Off Road, so you could see where you are going. Like the GI Joe truck from the 80’s:

    Pshhhhh. If we’re going to get into 80s toys for inspiration, there’re many better options.

    All BS aside a front camera is the best option. Back in the old days a buddy had a Chevy blazer and you couldn’t see squat over that huge hood! I had to walk in front with my fishing pole and a rag tied to it so he could stay on track every time we came to a drop.
