    Many complaints about the seams splitting and the gel leaking out. I can just imagine the mess that would make.

    Confused. I did this the second night of owning the truck. A month before I ever learned of TW. (arm pad , not knee pad. Though I did do one of those in a '77 Mazda RX-3SP way back when. Simple foam cushion - no "mouse" pads in those days - and it was for the right knee against the center console.)

    If he & I were in the same state I'd ask him to autograph it for you. But haven't been face-to-face with him in a while. Last place was T/Sgt Chapman's MoH banquet at Eglin a year ago this month.

    I'm actually using one of those. She's got some border collie in her and does some crazy gymnastics. If I have her plugged in to a back seat, she will manage to flip around and land in the front passenger seat. Then my truck gets mad thinking somebody is sitting in that seat not wearing a seat belt (I guess there's a weight sensor?) I've been strapping her in the bed lately, but I'm going to have to work on another solution for the next couple months until my shell comes in.

    Sorry. I didn't see your mod for this if you had posted it. What I saw was specific to this particular pad and I'm by no means taking any credit for it or taking away credit from anyone that's done the same or something similar. My only goal is to pass along something that initially didn't get much traction but after doing the mod myself felt the need to have it revisited. Regardless of who came up with this I think it was a great idea and I always love it when someone thinks outside the box. :thumbsup:

    exactly why I got it. As soon as it's back in stock, grab it, they go fast. They do come directly from Hong Kong, but the delivery estimate on Amazon was way longer than it took. I got it in about 1.5 weeks and the estimate was over a month.

    Seat belt extension on ebay would fix that seatbelt chime, the rest you'll have to figure out. Repetition, repetition, repetition! All comes down to which one of you can be more stubborn. Maybe some Frisby time to tire her out some and then a short ride afterwards reinforcing commands to sit still. Repetition, repetition, repetition! Just a suggestion that may work for you. Good luck Bud!

    I emailed the vendor two days ago, and he said stock is one month out. N2 designs is working on a multi camera module that might be worth waiting for... More on that here.

    It's all good Bob. No need to apologize. I was just confused why you quoted that (my) post in particular, being it wasn't the knee pad.
    I agree, "Outside the box" gets my attention every time! Love it. (I once saw a guy in the jungle, cut tin with a wire garrot. Stood on one end and pulled on the other to slice the wire through the tin sheet. Clever lad.)

    ...and Best Wishes to your missus!

    I noticed the originator of this website changed the banner pic. I hope those two in front of the truck are not contemplating suicide.....:)

    I totally agree, at that level they definately earn that pay. That is so awesome that he made it to that level in his career, I am sure he is looking forward to his retirement. Could not imagine the stress he woeks under each day.

    All good here as well Brother. To be honest I haven't read every post on this particular or any other thread here on TW, it just so happened that I did read the post that was specific to this one pad. Some day I hope to get caught up reading them all to see just how many other really great ideas I've missed.
    Thank you for wishing us well, a little nervous about the situation. All goes down tomorrow. :fingerscrossed:

    They've already bought property where they want to retire. I'm thinking it can't come fast enough for him!
    Although, he has loved his USAF life. The smile on his face when he graduated from the Academy probably still hurts his cheeks. lol And it has only gotten better from there (excluding the shoot-down over Serbia in '99).
    Of course, we (family) all do wonder if D.C. will try to talk him into some political office or such. ??? Wait & see, I guess.

    I don't understand the complaints about the Tacoma's seat. This is the first vehicle I've ever had that allows me to drive long distances (9-10hours) and not be in any pain. Also, I've seen people complain about lack of headroom, which I also don't get as they were shorter than me. I'm 6'2" and there's at least 3-4" of clearance between my head and the roof. I know everyone's different, so I guess my body type just fits the Tacoma well?
