Here it is tinted


I removed it off the front two windows but the rear is still 5% over factory. It was one of my favorite mod's too but I got tired of being hassled.

 

Great looking truck man-----------When I take pic's when it's getting dark I always use a tripod since the shutter takes longer to close hence forth slightly blurred.

Thanks. Yep that would have worked I'm just not sure where our tripod is and I didn't want to try to find it tonight.

 

well in PA you cant tint the front but the back is ok. i have 20% on the front a factory on my slider. I love the tint im going to get mine redone i did mine at home so they kinda look like crap. in getting the windsheild do and my 2 front. I will do 20% agin. and being a ff i dont have to worry about it lol!!!

 

Cool cool. Yup I had 5% over the factory on the rear sides and the rear slider then had 5% on the front two. The front two were still really dark but slightly lighter than the rear since it didn't have the darkness of factory tint added to the 5%. The front is all they hassle me about and I think this is considered a MPV which if it is the rear is legal anyway so I still have the 5% over the factory on the rear and just nothing on the front. Doesn't look too bad but I'm not crazy about it either.

 

I hear ya man.
You got any muddin pic's?

yea man i here you about that my friend just got a ticket i think it was about 108.00 or so. can't wait to do my front they said 140 to done my to two sides and front. suck you get hassled about it!!!! some cops need to do there job not bitch about some tint. another one of my friend has a subaru forester its like a sporty one turbo and all that he was told to take his fronts off and when he got the fronts re done he did the hole car in 5% and he already had 5% i can bearly see this 3rd break light its so dark now 5% on 5%.

 

I have a buddy with a old Ranger that has this setup on the rear of it. It's dark. Honestly not that much darker than my setup on the rear which is 5% over factory 20%. However, it is darker.

 

Not any good ones as honestly I haven't done a lot of it. I've got a picture where it got stuck in some mud. We had to stop as a buddy was driving and we saw a metal junk pile so he stopped instead of hitting it and just couldn't get going again. The rear end just sunk down.
I've taken it through a mud hole at our house thats maybe 6" deep or so maybe deeper. Not bad. Just enough to throw mud not really get stuck.

Then I took it down a trail once and got it stuck in some slick mud. Just sunk down enough to get stuck. Other than that I can't think of any times it's actually been mudding. Although it looks like it always has since if you go down a dirt road or threw a mud puddle the tires throw mud all over the side of the truck from where the tires stick out the side. The above dirty pictures are from after hunting season. I took it down a few paths for 4 wheelers but they really aren't that rough or anything. I could have probably taken a car down it. Just had some mud and was wet so the dirt was mud and threw it everywhere. Not sure where else I went but no where really bad.

It's done some light off roading but not a lot as I just don't like to beat on it as usually when I do stuff breaks. It has scratches and some dings and stuff all over it but it's from going down narrow paths with tree branches and driveways in the mountains and stuff like that. Not really abusing it but where you have narrow places and it's a big truck.

I use it to hunt on and that's about the worst it gets beat on. I hardly ever even use 4wd. It has a dent in the passenger door too where a buddy swung it open way too hard and the hinge pulled a dent in the door. The upper hinge bent but I replaced that and just left the dent. I'd like to get it fixed someday and got a quote for it but honestly you can't really see it unless you get really close and at just the right angle. It's big but not bad looking. I've had to point it out to almost everyone whom has seen it or said anything about it. After pointing it out they usually say they didn't see it however, I know it's there. Hard to pay $7-800 for that. It's deep in the middle if you look straight down the truck but not bad honestly. Other than that it's not in bad shape. It's in great mechanical shape and the body isn't in bad shape it just has a few imperfections and I'm super duper picky about it so I find every scratch. Like there is a ding or two in the door where the cb antenna got knocked off and swung down and hit the quad cab door on the drivers side. Looks like a golf ball or something hit it. I'd say the body is in a good 80% good condition but it's not perfect. It has some rock chips and rubber behind the rear tires that wont come off but you have to get close to see that stuff and all trucks with tires I've seen sticking out like that have rock chips behind the tires.

Being so picky it's in very good mechanical shape though as I like to replace stuff as soon as it gets a little bad I don't wait for it to break.

I like playing it mud but have learned how much it breaks stuff so I don't like tearing my truck up. This thing breaks way more than it should when you baby it much less abuse it.

 

Ha, knew it had to be a lift when I saw the red sticking out of the suspension. How did it maintain the raked look? I have some skyjacker 3" springs sitting around waiting to go in but I haven't got the AAL yet. What came in your kit and do you think the replacement lower arms are worth getting also? Reason for the questions is that I want my truck to look exactly like yours.
