Barefoot, with no shirt on his back. With nothing but a bottle of whisky and can of chew to keep him warm....

 

Made a friend at work, and called around for price quotes on the ecg bushing swap

 

Towed the trailer out to a Fabrication shop clear out into the Mojave Desert, did a spring over to the camper and cab mount chop to the truck. New wheels and tires tomorrow. It's been a hell of a long day my TW friends.

 

I've got a 2001 that looks identical as a backup up vehicle. Got a great deal on it but the shocks and struts were blown. My wife got a quote for $2500 to swap them out. I took that opportunity to tell her I could lift it for half the cost by myself. Got a 2" OME lift on it and it looks and rides great! Removing and replacing the rear shocks is a pain in the ass!

 

Thank you! Acme Super h1 retrofit.

 

1st pic is how the truck was at the dealer I stripped everything off Of it except rims
Just bought wheels tint and a leveling kit.
Hard to believe it’s the same truck.

 

I was just wondering what the VT law is for front tint. Was thinking about doing a little just to help with the sun but I guess not.

In high school I had my old 1st gen Reg cab at 5% all around.. as did a lot of my friends haha. Kinda rediculous when I think about it now but man was that nice on sunny days. I got away with it for a while only getting pulled over once and went and got my inspections done in July with the windows down. Just as he was about to apply the sticker the last time he rolled up the drivers windows and made me pull it all off. NEVER AGAIN will I put myself through the tedious task of scraping off all that glue..

 

Had some fun w/ the kids on Sunday trail riding (ooops lol).



Then this happened on my way to work today.

 

I like my window tint so much that you all are talking me out of ever considering living in VT. Such a beautiful state. but. What a joke!! At the end of the day its just the Government sticking their hands farther into our pockets! Just a stupid excuse to get someone on the side of the rode and give them a ticket! Police officers have bigger fish to fry! Trust me, I know. End Rant. Happy Friday TW

 

Thank you for your business @TacoMike86 We greatly appreciate it!!!

 

I will say that this was when I lived in Maine. I’ve only been in VT less than a year. It’s more a safety thing for the officers I think. Among other things

 

went from Icon 2.0s to King 2.5s!

 

I agree it is to protect the officers because illegal tint at night, they wouldn't be able to see what is going on while walking up to the vehicle. I honestly didn't spend much time researching tint laws before I got my windows tinted. I made a terrible assumption because everyone I knew had tint. And I just wanted my fronts to match my rear tint, so that was what I asked for. I'm going to probably just peel it off and clean it. Go to the station and show them it is off. Then get 50% tint for my fronts.

Now, my only issue with what I went through Wednesday is I was pulled over for tint after 3.5 years with it. That was his reasoning and only reasoning was tint. As I was sitting there, I just watched car after car go by with dark window tint. Heck, probably a few people speeding also. Plus, this was at 10 am, so it was pretty light out. And my tint isn't so dark that you couldn't see in my vehicle during the daytime. Next, my township and the township that I was pulled over in are pretty low crime areas in the NW suburbs of Chicago. If I lived in a high crime area, then I can justify being pulled over for tint. The officers are probably more on edge in higher crime areas.

I agree, the laws are to protect the officers so they are aware of what is going on in the vehicle as they are walking up to it. But, I wasn't speeding or driving like a mad man, I wasn't changing lanes without a signal, I wasn't tailgating. In fact, I was going the speed limit and I was actually behind other cars. I remember seeing the officer sitting there and I thought to myself he must be looking for speeders. Maybe it was just dumb luck that this officer hates window tint or he was just in one of those moods. But, to me after 3.5 years with this tint, I'm just baffled that it happened now and there was no other reason than just being tinted windows.

 

Sorry man, just now seeing this. Once I put the new suspension on I got about 3.25”s and no rubbing at all with the 285/75r16 except for a small plastic piece on the front fender liner. I had to cut it an inch and no cmc.

 

Had a dent removed today. Gotta love PDR.
