    Yes, on the minor blindspot. I sometimes find myself leaning sideways or forwards. At least I don't have a skewp.

    Thanks! I sit pretty upright too for that reason and probably more forward than in previous cars.

    Dreamers gotta dream, right?

    Maybe shipping labels got mixed up with someone else's order.... Sit tight for a few days until somebody shows up here complaining that they received a Passenger Side Handle when they ordered the Grab Handle... :facepalm:

    I have a second gen (07) Tacoma and I'm used to the grab handle. The handle doesn't block your view in anyway.

    I’d say the 3rd Gen handle definitely creates a bit of a blind spot. It’a quite a bit larger than the 2nd Gen handle, so it’s to be expected.

    Spend some time in your passenger seat looking thru the windshield around the handle and you’ll get a feel for how much obstruction you can expect.

    Hmm, maybe depending on how far back you sit? For me, I have to move my seat up a bit because I have a rear facing car seat behind me. So I'm looking at a 45° angle at the grab handle therefore zero blind spot for me.

    My driver's side grab handle doesn't block my vision in any way. But what does block my vision is the rear view mirror itself. It's considerably larger than what I'm used to. I have to move my head to see around the mirror.

    Might be a height thing too. I'm not a tall guy, so it did block the shit out of my view, especially when I was trying to maneuver around crap offroad. The giant hood doesn't help either

    The BirdDawgIndustries mirror riser is a big helper there. It would need a bit of trimming to fit the 2018+ Tacos.

    Has anyone tried installing this grab handle along with an A-pillar gauge pod?

    And for whatever MY experience accounts for, DO NOT, I mean EVER buy from KTJO. I had a bad experience with her also.
    I finally had to get the credit card company involved. Only THEN did she return my 50 voice mails and emails.
