I came close to the OEM Prado ones but the more I looked at them the blockier they looked. Could also be that I have had Weathertech since they came out. Although I no longer use WT floor matts.
The WT visors can be tricky to install and think that is what drives some away from them. Have to take your time and if you install them in the dead of winter like I did a heat gun is required. But in the end I am happy with them once again.

Do they help keep rain/water from dripping in when driving with the window cracked open a wee bit?I came close to the OEM Prado ones but the more I looked at them the blockier they looked. Could also be that I have had Weathertech since they came out. Although I no longer use WT floor matts.

One of the very few things I miss with rain gutters on cars, aside from being able to mount surf racks.

I have weather tech ones, I was thinking sunshade earlier.. it's Monday. I have them so I can crakc the windows for the doggo even in pouring rain. Install in the summer so the moulding can conform around the visors, my back drivers side acts up from time to time, but not enough to be a serious problem.
You do need to clean around that area and it may damage tint. It gets super dirty with the dogs.
Here is a Pic with it raining and the windows cracked so the dogs can get their sniffs in.
I have the OEM Prado ones - fleabay was my source. Came from Japan, though.
Yep what @Hiluxforever said. I keep mine cracked on the drivers side all year parked or driving rain, snow or sunshine. I like fresh air but realized the other day still haven't opened the sun/moonroof or whatever you want to call it. Funny as I always wanted a vehicle with one and now that I have one haven't used it.
Friend of mine asked me to close the shade under it a couple of weeks ago and I asked him why? He didn't want to get his bald noggin burnt LOL.

Saw 4 F-15s make s*** hot breaks into the pattern and was able to get underneath then on the final approach. Good stuff. Yay chAir Force!
I often see F-15s in Lake and Cook Counties from the fighter squadron out of Duluth. Sometimes they do dog fights right above me in the woods when I am hunting. Few years back had a lone one fly right next to me over a bog just above the water while I was on a dirt road next to it. The Eagle driver was so close that I could see his sun visor and swear he was smiling at me. It was kind of surreal with everything around us being prehistoric looking and here he was in a high tech jet.
Even though I have eagles fly over my house I go up and down the Mississippi River to shoot eagles from time to time. I heard they taste like chicken.
One day to the South down river about 20 miles away with the binos I seen a small blob of blue in the air with white smoke trails. Could only mean one thing the Blues were near putting on a show. Being on 2 bird farms over the years I've seen my share of Hornets, A6's, Tomcats, etc. But been awhile so the next day went to the top of a bluff on the Wi. side that I knew about. Wasn't going to pay to go down to the airport in La Crosse to see a bunch of airedales. Hell I was almost 40 before I knew f****ing airedale was 2 words not one.
Cloud cover was low so their working ceiling kept the Hornets down low. Had the best seat in the house several times they split right before they got to the bluff I was sitting on.
Was a good show especially seeing Hornets instead of Eagles

I found Eagle drivers to be remarkable down to earth for fighter jocks. I guess when you rule the roost you have nothing left to prove.
Duluth has F-16s, FWIW. But either one can get almost anywhere on the continent in a hurry so who knows.

The GX did fantastic on the trails yesterday as it always does. The craving for 35"s and lockers is real strong...

Growing up, we were near the EL Toro Marine Base. When they had their annual air show, the Blue Angles would start their pass over our home. I still remember being able to see the pilots faces as they roared by starting their approach to whatever amazing maneuver they were about to perform.I often see F-15s in Lake and Cook Counties from the fighter squadron out of Duluth.

It was pretty cool, for a high school kid!

Also, I love my Ironman4x4 bumper and the Aussie style of it, but I'm starting to wonder about something a little more low-profile to bring the nose of the truck back a bit closer to the actual front end. Anyone got recommendations?
There are quite a few "high clearance" bumpers out there for the 460 these days and I think the US-made designs generally don't push the nose out like the Aussie styles. If I were picking solely on aesthetics I like the Victory Strike or the new Heftyfab bumper.
