NW WA Meet / BS Thread

No I'm busy next Friday. I did fortune creek stock last summer with toyo mt's and was okay. Hit my rear bumper a lot, also hit my cross member (luckily) on a hidden rock, that was quite a shocker..

 

OK, no worries, we'll catch ya next time!
Yikes! hitting your rear bumper? or tow hitch? cause i would be hitting that. if you have tow package, have you re-located your 7-pin?

 

Yeah I hit both the hitch and bumper. And yes destroyed my 7 pin, relocated it after getting a new one

 

Yeah I put 20 on the fronts and it all matches really good. 5 would be way too dark, its already kinda restricting with 20% at night. although i was thinking 5 in the rears would make the fronts seem darker while still letting you see in parking lots at night, just a thought i had.

 

Thats true. Im going to try 15 all around and see how it goes haha.

 

you'll be happy

 

Hope so! I have a couple weeks til Im home and able to do it so we'll see. Got a friend that gets hook ups on tint so thatll help too!

 

I want to do 5% in the rears but my fear is it'll make the fronts look to dark. But I may do it

 

Why? Not letting light through? How does it affect you looking out the back with your camper? Itd be a lot harder wouldnt it?

 

Oh I didn't mean the very back window, just the 2 rear door windows. My canopy windows are 20% so they aren't terrible to look out of

 

I figured you meant those windows and was just asking about the canopy windows cause that would be hard to see out of I would think.

 

No it wouldn't really change looking out of the canopy if I tinted the rear 2 windows to 5%, I can see through the back window to both of the canopies side windows pretty easily.

 

Oh okay thats good. You said 5% in the rear would possibly make the front too dark, why is that?

 

Less light coming in making them look darker.

 

Oh gotcha, makes sense. Ill take darker if people cant see into the cab haha. Just need to be able to see out when Im hauling ass down a trail

 

If anything, i would want my canopy windows at straight limo tint, so that nobody can do window shopping on my golf clubs or my bow.

 

Thats true! That would suck.
Speaking of golfing, cant wait to go. Havent been up to anything in Seattle though. Just in Puyallup and Lacey.

 

Technically 15% can be a good option for matching the 20% factory rear glass... The windshield acts like a backlight to the front windows so they always appear lighter than the back. I'm kinda surprised I haven't been pulled over yet for some piddly reason. Illegal tint, no flaps, no front plate, all black evrything, loud, and no license plate lights

It's amazing. It's my comforting cocoon of darkness. The rear is kinda dark at night but I have a backup camera and the 886 mod. I can see out the side mirrors at night with the 886 mod.

Although my soft top is tinted too so with that on I can't see out the rear view mirror during the day...

 

You must be pretty lucky not having been pulled over yet for all of that!
Haha thats awesome
Backup camera would help a lot Im sure. Damn is it 5% on your soft top too?

 

Its 20% the brand of film I used is Formula. http://www.formulaone.com/en/Default.aspx I got it installed at a place on air port way in Seattle named Accutint.
