    Over, IMO, just doesn’t look seamless. Not sure where you heard from but I’ve never seen it mentioned nor have I ever experienced this (although I never actively searched for it) . I mean looking at it ina design perspective- it’s inside the channel and water from roof to door will go over the channels down onto the window no different than flashing and drip edge on the roof- it’s under the shingles and water goes right over. I just can’t see the physics of how the water can go down then up and around the closed window and seals (or even a cracked window. Now if your talking about when it’s raining/driving and the window is cracked lower than the channel the spray force may but obviously it won’t stop water if your window is lower than the channels.

    I have in channel, my only complaint is the extra water that gets into the door. I know doors drain and are designed to accept some water so really neglible complaint I guess. Hasn't bothered me enough to change or remove them

    I assumed it was from (damn now I can’t remember the name). Who can help me? It’s the v2 of the original full diameter vent mount and ram balls.
    Looks like it got ripped

    But wouldn’t that only happen if the window was lower than the channel? Ive seen a Couple drops on the door sill but never thought it was a cause from the in channels

    I mean inside the door itself rather than in the cab. The visor interrupts the clean seal between the side window seals and the glass when the windows are all the way up. Not a huge difference but it is an opening to let water drain through your door.

    No tool needed. I used a hair dryer to war my mirror a bit because it was sub freezing in the garage. Tilted the mirror up and then grabbed the bottom of the OEM mirror with my hands and pried it out/up. Easy.

    Quite a bit of info on them in this thread:

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/new-pirelli-scorpion-a-t-plus-installed.547094/

    I have run them since last September. 265/75R16 E loads. I wanted a balance of an E load that wasn't too heavy. I spend a lot of time in the North Maine Woods. The roads can be hard on tires. Lots of shale. They did well on a couple of hunting trips. I have had no problem in snow or rain. Seems to be at least as good as the stock tires on pavement. I did puncture one on I95. Ran over a HUGE lead tire weight. Of course I didn't get hazard insurance. Overall, I have about 2500 miles on them. I'd buy them again. Also, Walmart had the cheapest price on them. I showed that price to my local shop and they matched it.

    Doesn't the vent itself rotate under the weight of a phone? I'm currently using a mount that pinches a vent, but it's always rotating...

    Is that suspension stock? And I see you have similar mud flaps (if not the same ones) as me - Rekgens. Any rub? I'm looking to do 265/75R16 on the stock wheels for my next setup as well, but not looking to lift or anything. Was told that's as high as you can go, but it's really hit or miss with whether it rubs with low profile mud flaps. Curious what your experience is with the wheel's articulation. Cheers

    Utility trailers are a definite must have. Since we have some "skinny" roads here, I stayed with a 6' wide. Makes for a lot less stressful pulling when your tires aren't hugging the centerline and the edge of the pavement at the same time! Mower and XUV fit nicely.
    I would have liked the solid sides like yours though. Thats really nice.

    Thanks. I wanted something I could also use to grab mulch and dirt without having to build something to block the open rails of traditional utility trailers. The Belmonts have 18" sides - 4" higher than anything else I could find. I was surprised at how well it tucked in behind the Tacoma and I did appreciate that the 6' width made it easy to keep in the lane.

    Stock suspension and wheels. I think it would have rubbed on the original mud flaps, but changed them when I changed the tires. I have not experienced any rubbing.

    The phone mount is the same concept and price as the Un-Holey mount from Hondo garage. I've got the Un-Holey mount.

    So it is actually mounted to the outer lip of the vent which does not spin or rotate in any way. I can also still spin the inner vent a bit without affecting the mount.
