    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    Custom modified Ultimate Mirrors designed by @MESO .
    Building them was a challenge but the multi functions come in handy for me quite often.

    Have a '21 TRD OR. Never had any complaints like the ones I see here on the transmission/shifting so KDMAX hasn't been on my radar. I am still curious if KDMAX is worth it?
    Is there like a try before you buy thing?

    Need to recreate this thread with a pole. Since there are so many different products, I could be useful to make general categories followed by an other.

    I prefer a bit more streamlined aesthetic, but the functionality there is impossible to argue with.

    i'm currently really enjoying the lifeproof magnetic phone mounts (https://www.lifeproof.com/en-us/lif...0jauZxxRYbYSGgtq5oSzVH25yH2Zm5ShoCrt4QAvD_BwE). the downside is that I have to stick a magnet to the back of my phone case(s), but the up-side is that the magnet locks in place and stays put.

    that sounds like work. I've really enjoyed people's opinions and the details about their fav mods that a data based poll would have omitted
