    Totally my fault for not confirming, but my new to me Tundra doesn't have blind spot monitors.

    After a bad day at work a few years ago, I lost vision in my left eye and was really looking forward to BSM. It always sucks to change lanes and sideswipe cars in the process.

    I realize converting everything over is pretty much out of the question, and I'm not really a "stick on a 2nd smaller mirror" type of guy.

    Anyone have any other suggestions that won't interfere with my OCD and looks good?

    I assume those are bullet holes...which just makes me cringe. Thank you for your service and I'm glad you're still with us. Cuz Damn!

    If you don't have the tow mirrors, I find them to be a big help. Although honestly the Toyota OEMs leave a lot to be desired. I'd consider some of the aftermarket solutions that look like the Ford mirrors. The fish eye lens is huge and much better.

    And if you want to know what it takes to add BSM, I'll page @RainMan_PNW for you. At minimum, consider the mirrors he added.

    No doubt. I've had one bullet hit one of my old trucks drivers door and that ruined my day.

    What part of ID? I grew up in Bonners, though I realize most people hail from the other end of the state
