when do they open i couldn't find anything online. im defiantly going

 

I just can't a car into the welding shop

 

you guys doing the sandbox on saturday or sunday? on both days ill be working until 12 lunch time, but on saturday i was thinking of checking out a jiujitsu tournament in pearl city.

 

Well sat I'll hit up the sand box. Then sun was thinking about checking out the Almighty truck run

 

i wanted to make it to that meet but i wont finish work until lunch and i think rollout was 11ish or so right? i forget. next time...

anyways, we gotta make another meet again. something along the lines of bbque and all day so everyone that always wanted to make it can swing by whenever they get the chance.

 

Thanks Mike and Brandon. I'm not in need of a cab mount chop at the moment. Just wondering where I would get it done from when I finally get a lift, wheels, and tires. The combination I want seems like a CMC will be needed. I much rather pay an Oahu TW brother than any of the big shops here to do it. I'll keep you guys in mind. Mahalos

 

Got my front windows tinted today, including a clear UV blocking film on my windshield.
Al's tinting is the best!

 

They open at 0700. We are going to leave my house at about 8am.

I thought about the clear uv on the front for the wife's and my cars. Can you tell it's there at all?

 

So, who else in here is gonna do the Spartan Race?

 

Nope. I had Al's ceramic tint on a bunch of my cars and it made a big difference, but I never did the windshield. I cant wait to see how much difference it will make on the Tacoma. My truck bakes in the sun all day while I'm at work

 

How much for the uv windshield?

 

When is it?

 

17TH of August.

 

Not real sure on the prices, He is an old friend of mine.
He has two different films for the windshield, one is around $150, the other is over $200.

 

Ok thanks will need to look into it t&t would do mine due to be too dark from factory. I park the truck on the roof need protection from the sun.

 

Yes, "technically" a shop would test your windshield to see if putting the clear would pass inspection or not, and the legal limits currently on law at the state level. If not, some may put it on, but not write you a warranty because it rates illegal if you ever got tested. Similar to putting darker than 35% on your fronts. I had a shop put the clear on our new car. Would not pass check if it ever got tested as the factory light pass through, plus the uv film were lower than the current acceptable state limits. I take the risk of it not passing when we go for our safety in 2 years.

I got that heat shield from Toyota parts dept.. about $35-$40 but works pretty dang good as I park my truck on the street in front of the house.

 

Al's is the best! I absolutely love my tint

I can only barley tell at night. Nothing major, just I have spent so much time building and testing headlights that I can see the difference.

My windshield was something like $220 installed, and about $140 per window for all 4 doors, and something like $180 for the rear.. That bill hurt, but I think it was worth it in the end

And you can't beat a lifetime warranty from 3M. Just take it to any dealer who carries it in the country (maybe the world) and they will fix it for free! Warrantied against fading, cracking, bubbles, peeling, and everything else you can think of.

 

Yeah, Al put the more expensive windshield and side window film on my truck, and gave me the warranty. I cant wait to see the difference.

 

Only thing I wasn't crazy about was how long it took for that wavyness to go away. But its just because the film is so thick.

 

isn't al's across from the pearl city mall?
