    Thanks, Llumar Pinnacle all around, 70% on the windshield, 20% on the fronts, and 50% on the rear to give me ~10% overall on the rear.

    Happy with it so far, still gets hot in the cabin when sitting in direct sun for a few hours but I don't think anything will prevent that.

    Wasn't a huge fan at first (MT was more important than color) but it has grown on me and I'm embracing it.

    Funny enough, my maxtrax from the previous Jeep are neon green, maybe it was destiny?

    I had EXpel XR Plus put on mine...including the windshield. Best investment I have ever made.

    Somehow I smashed the anderson connector shell for my tire pump at Silver Lake. The conductor pins were fine. Replaced the connector shell with a spare:

    Yeah only so much it can do with the cabin closed up. How much did it cost?

    What did that cost you?

    For sure, main things I got it for were UV protection, glare reduction, and looks. Heat rejection was a bonus and like @JCruiser said, cools down way quick.

    Cost was about ~$1200, which is up there but somewhat expected when you are sitting next to high end Beamers, Benz's, and a Huracan while waiting. It is 100% covered as long as I own the truck for just about anything. Time will tell with durability but I'm happy so far.

    Something about a 5 spoke exposed lug wheel on a 6 lug truck never made sense to me

    Purchased Toyota Certified, with Vijay bumpers, additional lights, and Falken Wildpeaks on Fuel rims. Prev owner apparently painted the grill.
    I installed the Expedition Essentials 3TPAM.
    (Still need to wire it in, I don't like vampire taps as supplied.)

    I'll be 3d printing a custom holder for my cell phone. The 'X-wing' ram mount is fiddly to use. This will work for my work phone or any passenger.

    I also final installed @Kwikvette 's remanufacture of the 4 Wheel Parts hidden stiffys bed stiffener.

    went for the blackout package this time
    that's great, I just bought the exact same backrack and mounting bracket. How did you attach your toolbox in the end? It doesn't look like the J hooks are going to have anything to hook too.

    Wow that’s higher than I was expecting. Sounds like some great benefits though. I have always wondered if it’s $900 better tint.

    All windows, all-around ... not cheap. To have someone who can apply tint-film without it bubbling off later is worth the money ... many do not have the skill. Windshield alone can be 1.5 hours if you are skilled, and the poster said he is getting windshield, sides, back.

    I wanted a black front valance, so I wrapped mine. Turned out okay... from a distance. Lots of wrinkles on the underside, but nobody will ever see those. First time every wrapping something, so I think I did okay... especially since this is kind of a difficult piece to wrap, with all the contours and stuff.

    Another price comparison for what it's worth. I did xpel ceramic 20% front and 35% rear and back windows. $600 ish in Scottsdale, AZ. I wanted to do the front windshield, but I need to get it replaced first.

    What model shell is that? :popcorn:
