    I've had a couple of these now, I had one of those in the BRZ and loved it. Its perfect for anyone that wants a backup camera as well as a a dash cam.
    I will say, I just put that exact Wolfbox G480S in the Taco a couple months ago, and it interferes with both sun visors. I just leave the visors down now, but it makes putting the sunshade in a pain in the ass with the visors stuck down.
    Also, the G480S front dash camera doesnt swivel very much, and to keep a good forward camera angle I had to put the screen close to parallel with the windshield. It'd be easier to see the screen if I could tilt it more towards my seat. Didn't have that issue with the Rexing M2 I had in the BRZ.

    Also also, if you can put the rear camera higher its better, if its too low it gets hit directly by headlights at night and completely blinds the screen. That was a big issue with the Rexing M2 on the BRZ. The Wolfbox has an upgraded camera option which deals with it much better. Plus on the truck its up a couple feet higher than the car was so it doesn't get hit as hard.

    It did move the mirror around a bit on my last trail ride, haven't noticed it moving on the road but miles of washboard shake everything all over the place.. The mirrors on 1st gens are pretty loose so I could see that getting worse. Haven't had it long enough to know

    Even with the issues, I have no intention of taking it off the truck. Might put the Rexing from the BRZ on the new car but it has a backup camera so haven't gotten around to it..

    Monitor my entire cut, until I turn away for one second and I get a tip up, causing me to lose 9 parts :frusty:

    Garbage

    I mean, your Tacoma could look that way too. They're just bumpers.

    You're right about the bumpers though, if it's just the aesthetic appeal

    I guess it's gonna get a timing belt job done

    Yeah. Seems like a classic case of "the grass is always greener."
    Hopefully the timing belt job fixes it and it's just back to normal.

    Same

    Mainly for his sanity, and to retain what little hair he has left

    It isn't healthy for anyone to spiral into a panic over everything

    And that's all anyone has tried to get him to understand

    Agreed. No good for mental health to overanalyze, panic and ruminate. Michael J Fox nailed it when he said, "Don't spend a lot of time imagining the worst-case scenario. It rarely goes down as you imagine it will, and if by some fluke it does, you will have lived it twice."

    I just got one of these during prime day; with my RTT on I can't see directly behind me - which is fine with me most of the time.

    I'm surprised how well it stays on the mirror. I half-ass installed it to go on a quick trip to CO and got off road a bit - where I expected problems...but nope.

    Agree - totally interferes with my sun visors; didn't realize it until I went to block that horrific sun. Care a little less since I already have a dash cam installed (mostly wanted this to see behind me).

    It's impressive for what it is. The rear camera is hecka wide angle -- so "things in mirror are closer than they appear" is an understatement. But if you wanna see if there is ANYTHING behind you -- it does the jerb.

    The camera quality is awesome though.

    :rofl:

    Just shows the torch movement/path outside of the cut paths themselves

    It's in the event that you want to generate code, from an existing file, but starting mid-way through the file itself
