    bummer! was you windshield illegal or just metered to high? my tint guy says the law is 70 but that putting the 70 with the glass tint it would meter too high.

    the windshield has a clear ceramic film that has no tint to it at all. It is only supposed to block UV rays (that's what my wife was told at the tint shop) HOWEVER... it was measuring 62% and it needs to be 70% (our windshields come 70% stock, as most vehicles do these days)

    DAMN...... I guess my guy was right, any film on the windshield is a no go.

    Too bad the tint shop didn't check it with a meter before you had it installed or at least before you left their shop with it.

    You gonna strip it or try back on another day? Hopefully some guys chime in and say they weren't checked. It's odd they'd still a clear windshield, what were the side windows at?

    How did u guys pass recon with your exhaust still under the truck, offroad style?

    Inspector gadget gonged my line wen he saw mine under my truck. Said it had to exit under the vehicle.

    O an he failed me for the 1/8"-1/4" of my tire tread sticking out from the fender.

    Mine dumps down right before the axle, the guy that passed mine said it was alright. And my tread sticks out about that much too. I had the asian guy inspector.
