    I have and use a dog hammock, but since I also from time to time (once a week not long ago) take my grandkids or whoever somewhere, I got tired of and found it a pain (very bad back) to remove the hammock in order to use one or both the rear seats, well I finally figured out I could just attach all the headrest ties to the front headrest to protect the back of the front seats to keep the little heathens feet off the back of the seats as well as makes it a little harder for the dogs to just out their paws in the console, and I lay the seats down and put a thick moving blanket on them and it gives more room for my Pitties, plus if I need something behind/under the seat I don't have to mess with the hammock, and if I still take the dogs and a human in the back, or 1 dog and 2 humans back their... Best of both worlds imho..

    I also have dome cheap door guards for protection...


    I don't, I hate it when people don't know how to turn the phone sideways for a video...
    Nice truck though... lol

    Just make sure you watch the video I posted to make sure yours are legit before installing...

    Hell hole like Walmart and Home Depot....just terrible places to shop with predominanty garbage inventory. (At least ours...) I won't shop Cosco either. I should not have to be treated like a criminal after I just stood in line for 15 minutes and spent $500 in your store. :luvya:

    This and that
    I looked up the counterfeit vs real before I installed them a while back. Really when I looked at Amazon I was wondering how I paid. $111 and some change for $6

    I ditched the 67D phone clamp for a Bullet Point magsafe. The 67D mount had a rattle plus the convince of the mag is awesome. One minor potential downside is the BP has a 20mm ball and not the 1" which seems to be more common, but I was already in the 20mm camp. I'm not hard-core wheeling, but I do enjoy ripping along a gravel road (digressive shocks) and it the mount has held fast.

    Plus, now you can spend more money on mag accessories like these.

    I have a quad lock mag charger on my dash and the phone gets very hot on long drives (over 4 hours in the sun) when it's 85-90f days up here in Minnesota but has never overheated.
    I would imagine in southern heat of 95f+ you might run into overheating if on long road trips.

    First thing when I brought my Tacoma home my nephew was making fun of me and asked about a "Wittle Wadder". I was like WTF are you talking about? ( He drives a long travel XJ beater...) Then I was walking my dog and started noticing all the tiny little ladders on all the hipster "overland" builds in my neighborhood. Then I laughed...cuz wittle wadders are a thing in suburbia...:facepalm:

    I did the same. I don't mind the chrome on the inside, but hated it on the outside. Pro headlights, taillights and wheels. I tinted the mirror repeaters and front logo. Truck already came with all black overlays.

    I ordered that one, installed it, and ended up sending it back. It didn't reach out far enough so when the phone was on the mount it ended up hitting the radio. At least for the angle and position I wanted it at. I do have one in my Mustang tho.
