    Yes... but its still not ideal in that you have to loosen the ram arm every time you want to move it out of the way. I was trying to find a short bendy arm with a ram socket on one side and a flat mounting plate on the other, but I did not find such a thing. There are so many ways this could be improved. @MESO could make it rad... I am just a humble tinkerer :D I had my local upholstery shop do the final covering, so it cost more than it is worth. But I am happy with it as a functional prototype.

    When you call it tactical you can charge more when it goes into production.

    Perhaps a small LCD monitor mount would work?

    @ reymataco You must be tall to see over or around all that "stuff" on your dashboard.

    35s and 5.29s here. The gears are a good investment.

    My neighbor asked to see my kicker powered sub install. While he was looking at the sub, I couldn’t take my eyes off the unfinished look of the child seat anchor and I my OCD went into overdrive.

    I excused myself to the garage and grabbed some of my kid’s project foam and a razor blade.

    Decided to go ahead and do what’s called the “viper cut” before the new tires go on.

    I don’t necessarily think it looks better than stock, but at least I shouldn’t have to worry about rubbing the bumper.

    5'11" but my head nearly touches the ceiling. All the gizmo's sit at or below the hood line from my view point. My biggest issue is seeing to the right where the rearview mirror is. The BirdDawg aftermarket mirror mount (which moves the mirror all the way up to the headliner) doesn't fit with the TSS 3rd gen electronic mirror. I end up with really bad head-forward posture trying to "see" out my front windshield. Wifey has a new 4Runner, it's much better. But, what can you do? It's not like I would give up the Taco just because I "can't see out the windshield"!
