    I know it's not local but check out treadwright.com. There are a lot of members on here who run them, including myself. Picked up a set of 33" all terrains for around $550 shipped. Have over 10k miles on them and still holding up well. They are retreads, but if you're on a budget then I would definitely look into them along with the treadwright thread on here.

    The law is 35% up front, and anything you want in the back windows, as far is how much it's enforced, not much, as ^^ guy said, pretty much everyone runs limo tint lol. Speaking of which, I need to get soon, summer is coming!

    Oh and, howzit bah!

    I did hear on the news about a month ago saying that with the summer months coming and it getting hotter the tint laws would be enforced. I've been out here since 2007 and all of my vehicles have had 20% all around and never had any problems. My Wrangler had 15% and never had a problem. It's such a big city to where police will not show up to the scene of a car accident if there are no injuries or extreme damage. If they're too busy to show up for a car accident then I'd be highly surprised if someone in here has been/or will be pulled over for tint being too dark.

    I have had limo for as long as I've had my truck. As soon as I moved to California I started getting tickets. They got dropped because Nevada plates, bro. NV plates FTW!

    Saw this guy at the airport this morning. Very nice, love the stance and lift. I'll be the MGM 2012 Taco across from you if you get back before I do.

    I've run 5% on all windows and 15% across entire windshield on every vehicle I've had and never had a tint ticket. Been pulled over plenty of times for other things and it's never been brought up.

    It was still there this afternoon when I got back into town so I guess he's on a long trip.

    Hmm. Interesting. Which model are you running on the 33's. The Guard Dog option from Treadwright looks decent.

    I'm looking to go AT, as these Toyo MTs are a bit loud for my taste.

    Yeah, I have the guard dogs. Haven't had any problems and they're pretty quiet.

    Yep. Take out the overhead console and pull the comp/temp part out and carefully pop the display lens off, the plastic clips on the lens break easily. Once you see you the circuit board, they're are 2 resistors on it. The most common cause for this problem is one side of one of the resistors popped off the board. Just resolder the separated side and that should fix it. As far as how hard it is, it takes longer to disassemble everything than it is to fix it, so, very easy to do.
