    Not knowing what it would look like since the windows are black, is it possible to make the background black and the gridlines white? Just a thought.

    The only vinyl in this design are the black contours. That way you keep your rear window usable. The other option is to reverse the image and make everything flat black and the contours would be the glass from the window showing through. Doing a printed topo would be ridiculously expensive for me (about $180 per side) because I don't have access to a printer that can do a sheet big enough for the window.

    I just installed my pedal commander and I got the CEL. I can not clear it with my obd scanner. Did the dealer give you a hard time resetting the ecu? How much did they charge you?

    UPDATE: I was finally able to clear the CEL. The Pedal Commander is going back.

    Thanks for the picture and descriptions. I like it and the picture helps some. Different from this pictured clear glass, my windows are blacked-out from the inside (to keep light out and temperatures some since I sleep inside). However, while not noticeable to me in this posted picture, you mention on the clear glass (to keep the window usable) the contour lines are black. If the lines are black, would the black contour lines on a blacked-out glass still be appreciated? If not, I might have to consider the initially mentioned white background with black contour lines product, which is also appreciated. Thanks again.

    Make sure you aim them as far down as you can. They do wonders in the rain/fog/night. But if you don't aim them down you'll blind everyone coming at you. These lights are BRIGHT(I love mine)

    yeah, they are bright. and to be honest, i just installed them flush for the time being, knowing i'll need to find a location to do a proper aiming.

    i have had them on the past few mornings as a bit of a test to see if other drivers flash their lights at me. but it hasn't been that dark out, so that's probably why no one is irritated yet. but i'll definitely be doing it soon as i don't really need them on very often unless weather permits.

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.
    This is the main reason I went with a Sprint Booster. I have not heard of any issues with them as long as installation instructions are followed.

    I was looking into Pedal Commander and similar, decided getting a tune for a little more was a better deal.

    Mine has been flawless. I had it on my 18' T4R and then switched over to my 22'. No issues.

    In my research, I did not find any negative reviews for the Sprint Booster. There were a few bad reviews for the Pedal Commander. Not many, but there were none for the Sprint Booster, which convinced me to go that route. I have had it for 14 months of trouble free use. Plus the controller fits on one of the blank panels. It's about the size of your thumbnail. I highly recommend the SB. The throttle response is awesome.

    I had a pedal commander on my 16 Tacoma. After putting a tune on it, the pedal commander and the tune didn't work well together. I'd be driving down the road, and the truck would LITERALLY just go dead. I'd have to take the negative terminal off the battery, wait about 2 mins, let the computer reset, and put the terminal back on and go. After that happening 2 or 3 times, I took the pedal commander off, and never had any more issues. So if you have a tune on your 4R, that might be the issues. But I've also heard people WITHOUT tunes having some issues too. Always a crap shot.

    Doggo had surgery. Need ramp.
    Ramp to side doors is less than ideal.
    Gotta be a way to use a ramp through the back.
    Birch plywood already cut to size.
    Furring strips for traction.
    Redwood scraps for the rest.
    I have a cheap but good rubber mat from HDepot that goes over the bumper.
    You didn't think I would just let him scratch up the bumper, didja?

    I had to run some wires behind that for my stereo install and without removing a ton of the front dash, there was no way to just remove that piece. I had to snake the wire across using a steel wire.
