    nope, none. Some members have shared experiences with the unit stopping to work, but from my understanding the return process was simple.

    I keep my OEM switches in the glove box, if the unit fails with the windows open.

    Scored an OEM bed mat for FREE! The gentleman listed it for $50, which I was willing to pay, followed up his first reply with if you can get it within 24hrs it’s free, I’m sick of looking at it.

    It was for a 6.5’ bed, but some minor trimming and it fits great, especially for free.

    I need to get a better photo… but this damn forum has struck again!!

    Added some rhino rack cross bars.

    IMG_0187.jpg

    Most likely will be used for odd, light items when we go places. Fishing poles, shovel, canopy, etc. Just need some of those load stops for the tracks.

    I would love tossing the bikes up there, but that is obnoxiously tall.

    Better angle of the roof bars.

    Much to my surprise I do not notice any additional wind noise.

    Hit it with some waterless car wash because of limited time this afternoon. This stuff never fails to impress.

    Utilizing the tiny bit of down time after todays bbq.. kids asleep, wife asleep, dishes done…

    cleaned the k&n filter. It will be dry by morning. Oiled, then drivable in half an hour.

    IMG_0522.jpg

    Always forget how big the filter is. (19.2oz bomber can for reference)

    My buddy was going through his camera cards and found some photos he never sent me from last years camping trip.

    Pretty sure the passenger tire was off the ground at one point.

    Stubby antenna to replace the previous “slightly shorter the stock antenna”

    How are you liking this antenna? Any change in sound quality from your previous shorter than stock antenna?

    It is funny, I just recently noticed on heavily overcast or dense foggy mornings some of the stations have a bit of static.
    It is not enough of an annoyance to trade off not seeing an antenna while sitting in the driver seat.

    Yesterday I stopped for fuel on my way..

    IMG_1388.jpg

    ..to pick four new rotors and sets of pads.

    (Im sure others will opinions or suggestions, but I have been a Toyota owner for two decades and have always had the most success with OEM rotors/pads)

    Picked up a dual fishing rod holder at a garage sale for $3

    Will work perfect for our short freshwater rods.
    Knowing they won’t get crushed in the bed, by firewood, when we go camping is a bonus.

    Not sure how I had missed your build thread.....


    So I was going to ask you about that rear window visor/rain guard. But in more recent photos it looks like you've removed it. Did you have issues with it?
