    17" wheel upgrade (stock), de-badged, Bird Dawg mirror lift kit (awesome!), 3rd Gen f coilovers, Flowmaster, more coming.....
    This is by far the best mod yet! After not seeing a car, then a bike at a 4 way stop, due to obstruction of my view by the factory set rearview mirror, I decided to look for a product like this. Then, when I didnt see a BOX VAN at a 2 way, luckily he was at a stop!, I really decided to look for this! Well, after I found it, by 'accident' I may add, I quickly gave up the measly $40, and after a short (3 day) delivery, (fast for halfway across the continent), and a 15 minute install (would have been 5 if I want taking pics and texting), all I can say is WOW! See the pics and decide for yourself! Disclaimer- in no way am I affilliated with Bird dawg industries. That said..... The results are a product that gives a view that is far superior over the view from a factory Toyota rear view mirror mount. GREAT JOB!! Who can spot the difference in the pics?

    Send him a PM with your mailing address.

    He sends you the product.

    You send him a check if you keep it, or you return it if it doesn't fit your needs.

    I'm curious as well. I can't see squat sometimes without ducking down.

    Either riser will be a MAJOR improvement. I waited and scored one for $20 on the FS board. Can't even tell that there is a riser from the outside unless you are looking. Very happy with it!!

    Reached out to these guys cuz they were pretty much local and no response, strike one...birddawd.
    ImMrYo seems impeccable....stupid simple to treat people right.

    Just be aware of the issues. I love the concept after myself and others breaking windshields I'm going to glue a foot instead of having a lever to break glass. See my signature for a cautionary tale. I didn't even bother talking to bird dog because I bought it second hand. I didn't think they would cover it anyway.

    Good advice, read the issues and now quite glad they don't know how to do business.

    I have a cap on and can’t see squat out the back anyway. I keep my mirror folded against the ceiling for the same reason. That mirror can hide an entire vehicle at a 4 way stop. (I’m 6’2”) between side mirrors, BSM, and backup camera I don’t even miss it.
