WOLF BOX huh

no issues with it causing the mirror to sag/fall out of adjustment?

I might have to order one next payday. the backup cam would definitely help the GF when she borrows the Tacoma

 

nah but 2nd Gen so, I'm sure it would be fine

I don't have that one, but it's similar, back up camera died

 

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..

 

Fucking shit man

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

Garbage

 

3M dual lock works (if there is a decent flat surface)

 

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

 

Uhm...those aren't bumpers

 

They look like bumpers to me.
(Wait, you might've replied too fast before I fixed the quoted message above haha)

 

I see..you changed who you quoted

 

Yeah I mis-clicked the post. Old man moves on Friday evening.

 

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."

 

Ahh that's a good one

 

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.

I thought you were designing the old Microsoft pipe screen saver for a second

 

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