    Just an FYI.. I've got a bestop and it still hampers the view a little. Mainly just over your left shoulder though. Looking back to the right is fine. Also backing up at night is a pain sometimes since I have tinted windows plus the bestop tint, but its really not that bad overall and it does an impressive job of keeping the bed dry

    I doubt it. I wouldn't boost anything over 7 psi unless it had forged pistons and rods. I've heard boosting 5-7 psi does give your motor a little get go but not much, idk if it would even be worth doing 5-7 psi on a motor... it wouldn't do much until you start boosting 15-30 psi lol but that's suicide. for 1900 bucks you can find a whole v6 motor swap and if you really need more power you can turbo that later.

    I've got a leer topper and during the winter I can never see out the back widows I clean them off and drive through the snow and it just comes back. I've even taken the rear view mirror off because it's useless. Either way there is going to be blind spots

    I am trying to decide on maybe getting a tool box. I worry a bit about bed space, but anything with substance, I.e. wheeler, I'd just put on a trailer, I suppose.

    The rear view doesn't bug me. Its the blind spots on the left and right. Its ok when I am in Wyoming but when I venture to big citys where you are changing lanes a lot I get a bit nervous. I had a soft top that had no windows and that was a night mare.

    I'm new!!!! I don't know what to dooo!! I just got my base 2014 4x4 last week. I came from a 2014 f250 diesel and I love it so far. I had a single cab 22r 2wd in high school and it brings back memories. It's pre wired for reverse camera and cruise. Planning on 235 85 16 duratracs, an ome lift, black tool box, cbi f&r bumpers, header, afe dry filter, snorkel, and MagnaFlow muffler. Already deleted the charcoal filter and did the yellow wire mod

    Dang, most people that just buy their trucks and come here with no real direction. You have a whole mod list already! CBI bumpers look awesome in person btw.

    IDK about the camera, but cruise and intermittent wipers just require stalk changes.

    The intermittent wipers worked as a stalk change, but the cruise stalk did not work. It appears my Taco is missing a wire from the ECU to the steering clockspring.

    Yep, adding cruise is really stalk, steering wheel cover around stalk, the double clockspring brown wire & if manual then also the clutch switch.
