    Fun isn't it. Can you post a pic of the bracket for where the coolant reservoir is. Looks like it was installed by the battery?

    I had the RAV mirrors for a while but replaced them with these were you can adjust the smaller mirror, much better.

    I have them on both my 4Runner (285/70/17) and my Tacoma (285/75/16). I don’t do a lot of off-roading so for me, it is the perfect tire. Smooth ride, quiet, good handling, and last a very long time. Last set I replaced had almost 80K and still had tread. I only replaced them because of age/cracking. I would not buy anything else.

    stock... power gains are really not that impressive, but the way how the car feels in offroad scenarios at low RPMs... damn. Totally different animal.

    You can get the same small adjustable convex mirrors on Amazon for about $10 and they stick on. I’ve had mine for about two years and they work great.

    No part number, it’s not a Toyota part.

    https://spottermirror.com/p/toyota/2016-2022-tacoma-2014-2022-4runner/

    The link is one without BSM, you can look around since I believe there’s one for BSM?

    (I’ve had bad luck with the stick-ons periodically falling off so I went for these)

    Thanks. I’ve used stick-ons before, thing is I found them to be either too convex for the small size or not enough.

    I like that the convex mirrors adjust independently of the main mirrors. Do they also pivot about when you adjust the mains? I could t quite tell but they appear to be riding on the same backplane?

    For those that can & have some fab skills, make your own convex mirror mounts for the size of mirror that is sufficiently sized for what you need. I made my own from 16 ga. sheet aluminum bought from our local big box store, along with some nuts & bolts sized for the job at hand.
    I made some for my previous '98 4R and our current '16. And I've made them for both of my TJ's.
    Being a retired heavy equipment operator/dump truck driver, with no center mirror and massive blind spots, I relied on my convex mirrors very heavily.
    It's currently -1* outside so it'll be a while before I can get some pics of what I made.

    I’ve had these on for two years, run through car washes, collapsed the mirror in to get close to ATMs, and they’ve never fallen off. Mine show two lanes worth of view so on the right I can see cars coming onto the highway from entry ramps. Work for me.

    I purchased the Falken Rubitrek A/T tires for my 4Runner back in October and I've been very happy with them so far. Only a couple of thousand miles so far but they look great, are fairly quite, and ride well.
