    Not really much to see, just a generic windshield shade that fits well versus a couple inches too wide or narrow :)

    Maybe 1/2" open at the very top but it's not a big deal. I'd buy it again.

    I bought one similar to yours for my Tundra and it works pretty well: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B074Y84387/

    I bought this brand for my wife's Highlander, and if I were to get a new one for the truck, this is the route I'd go: https://www.amazon.com/TuningPros-Windshield-Protector-Leatherette-Compatible/dp/B07VZZWDHH/

    The fold up option vs roll up is nicer for storage.

    that’s the exact photo I was looking for. Thanks. Adding to my Christmas list :thumbsup:

    my less I can find one that is black on the outward facing part.
    Anyone have one of those?

    Black on the outward facing part would defeat the purpose. The shiny silver reflects energy back through the windshield, keeping the interior of the truck from getting as hot as quickly.

    But it’s great for baking cookies or unwanted creepers in the back of your truck.

    Lots o’ mods
    Here you go: https://www.weathertech.com/sunshade/

    I have a full set of these - they custom cut them to fit the side and rear windows as well as the windshield. Reversible silver and black (looks like you’re in an area where that’s helpful). My truck’s not a daily driver, so it’s nice to seal the whole thing up when it’s not going anywhere for a few days. Not sure if the whole six-window set would be worth putting up and taking down just going back and forth from work or the store.

    Looks like the full-vehicle kit for yours would run about $140.

    went camping over the weekend, picked up a lot of dust near the tailgate. any specific tailgate sealing strip I should look for? I found some on Amazon but it doesn't say if it will work for '21 tundra.

    Just make sure to clean the dust off and use the alcohol pad after to prep the surface.

    I haven’t ordered them yet, but those Meso dome and map lights look pretty damn good for the money. I really like that you can change between white and red light.
