    Are you looking to mitigate light or heat?
    There is clear ceramic tint you can put on the windshield that will cut out heat.
    Despite everyone saying you cannot tint & cannot get tint exemptions in CT, I found & now have in my possession an actual CT DMV window tinting exemption form I intend to bring to my next eye Dr. appt. You can't download them, have to order an actual paper copy to be mailed to you. Draconian!

    I had fun wheeling in the snow for my first few times, but I miss the MUD! All the good mud pits and water crossing are frozen...

    I had put my skid plate back on today and because of how banged up it was, took me almost an hour. In the cold. Laying in the snow. @JDUB-Fabrication I know you don't hang out in the CT thread but post those pictures of you welding in the snow lol. Looked miserable, but I commend your grit

    Baby Blues should be enough. I can't go anywhere without sunglasses on and had a doctor in NC tell me I should wear them even when cloudy... So any of you light eyes can probably get it no problem. If I ever had issues with my tints in MA I was going to get this form for our state, but so far hasn't been an issue.

    Yeah man, we will bend those skids back!
    Nothing like some out of position welding on the ground in a snowstorm, with a bum left hand ta boot!
    But still fun lol.

    It is looking like we are close to spring though. Next week and even part of this week in the 40's. I think in 2-3 weeks we will be full melt off. :fingerscrossed:
