Happy eclipse day. Nothing like the one in 2017, but a good view in charleston none the less.

 

Who needs actual solar eclipse glasses

 

don't tell anyone, but i like it more than my miller hood

 

Same. My Miller Elite is really only used when I'm welding on the bench.

 

I’m back in a Tacoma. Just got the windows tinted.

 

So what your saying is… that’s the helmet to get?

 

I actually feel foolish for spending $200+ for the Miller shield.

I don't think it's $150 better.

Some claim the speed of lense darkening is faster for the higher end lids.

I read once that the HF lids change in 1/20000th of a second and the higher end units change faster, around 1/50000th if a second.

Neither one is faster than the speed of light.

In addition, when I'm using the HF lid, when it gets knocked off my head and it hits the ground, I don't think "that's gonna make an expensive sound".

 

Neither are perseptible to the human eye. The only thing I would expect out of a higher end hood is consistency, 1/50000, 1/49999, 1/50001.. HF I can only imagine it's like 1/20000, 1/199, 1/259999. As far as people complaining they are blinded by the hood not darkening, they all should have UV blocking so your eyes should not be damaged, just a bright flash.

 

How well do you like it?

 

I love it. I’m coming from a 13 Off Road so the 11 years made a huge difference. I’m taking it on a short road trip this weekend so I’ll test the mpg.

 

I like the 4th gen alot. I'm seriously considering getting one in a couple years. Then the new 4runner dropped and I really like it as well.

 

I am right there with you. I was talking to my significant other about getting a new 4Runner and she didn't share my enthusiasm. So, we'll see what the future looks like.

 

Future looks like you'll have a new T4R and no significant other

 

Been awhile lol but I've been busy with work and some family trips also been busy with getting parts rounded up for front long travel build on the T4R

 

I was like

What the hell kinda CB Antenna is in the bed of your truck

 

Feelers for my uptop alpha roof rack
