    Yup. I put in a call with the local tint place that got great reviews, just waiting for a call back. Just tired of getting roasted in my lil single cab with no AC, not to mention how hot it gets in there during the day (being black and all). I'm thinking 35% for the sides, although I do want to go lower, I don't want to freak cops out (they just love not being able to see inside). Windshield I'm hoping isn't noticeable at 50% (other than obvious heat and uv savings). Guess we'll find out how much heat it gets me... Makes me wish i had power windows haha

Paid $100 for all 8 windows (dads buddy owns tiny shop) Never been pulled over for it, but then again I live in AZ, not cali

    What are everyones opinions on triples vs doubles on prerunners?


    Could you properly valve the shock so that the 3rd compression tube isnt really needed? Or as common sense is pointing me towards; the more the better?

    This. the more the better. I priced out some 8-tube bypasses for myself:rolleyes:
    Lets just say they're a little pricey

    Not always more the better , unless you know what your doing on tuning and really need it. But the added tubes makes it nice to adjust, makes for smoother transition in the stroke to the final inches of travel.
