    Pretty sure only the counties that have emissions and are strict about them care, I've never had an issue with any vehicles exhaust. My ex is the only person I've known to get a ticket for tint on the mountain, off is a different story.

    I tint my windshield that's what usually fucks me. It wouldn't be that dark, but you throw 35% on the windshield and my 20% (it's really 18%) came up as 12% on a Troopers little machine.

    I can't wait to get these parts on! Waiting on the Fox rears w/RR now.

    Yeah Ive owned this truck a few months now. I've got pulled once for my windows, ticket cost me $90 total. Whenever I see the boys in blue coming at me I'll roll the front windows down.. Just to let in some light. That way the windshield doesn't really look tinted, unless you look hard. Cop didn't notice the windshield was tinted because I don't have a strip on this truck.

    On the Frontier though, I had 5% on the rear two windows as well.So it made it really dark. Along with a 35% windshield with a 8" 5% strip, still 20% on the front too. It caught a lot of attention. I went through a road check (easiest place to get a tint ticket) and they got me. I had to peel it, trooper signed off that it was peeled and the ticket was dropped. Of course I had it all put right back on. One ticket in that truck in 3 years.

    Thinking about getting 5% all the way around on the Taco once I get some more lighting. Really most cops won't pull you strictly for tint, you usually got to be speeding, not wearing a seat belt, etc..

    Why did you go with fox rear shocks instead of kings to match? Just curious

    My cousin has 5% all around with 35% windshield, I love tint but IMO that is to dark.

    lol if you sat down in my truck brother, you couldn't tell the windshield was tinted. it's very very noticeable from the outside, but does not affect visibility one bit on the inside. if you were local i'd let you sit down and look for yourself haha.

    I don't believe I did. Unless I just don't know what exactly what I bought. I'm pretty sure I bought Dakar length 2.0'' Fox w/ RR

    Ok, probably not then. They are a bit more. The DSC is dual speed compression adjustment. It's a quick dial on the top of the reservoir with different settings allowing you to adjust your ride. I'll assume you didn't get the adjusters on the Kings either? Still sick, just curious on reviews because I'm looking into an adjustable ride setup.

    Everything's coming together! Going to be sick when it's all on!

    Noo I definitely didn't DSC on the Kings. It would have probably been worth it. I'm pretty sure when you get them rebuilt you can have them add it though, considering they can add reservoirs.. Oh Yess trying to create a tasteful Taco.. Pun definitely intended.

    I always buy brighter reverse lights, and I think I'll get a bar for the bed too, so that'll help as well.
