    I just want the rear glass and two windows done. How do you rate how dark you want it? I am just looking for a nice dark look, but not like a limo tint.

    35% is a fair tint.
    20% is pretty dark.
    I'd go 5% on the back, but no darker than 20% on the sides... that is a little darker than factory "privacy glass" which is about 25%.

    Looks great Hagen,

    Like the stepped down height, makes a great rack for hauling other things also,

    Hagen, that new rack looks great. How did you mount it to the bed? How much does it weigh?

    So Im still looking in to different solutions for my issue with my Taco. Its a 2008 4x4 reg cab 86,000 miles and it wobles and bobbles all over the place. Just normal shifting and braking will make you spill your drink, making turns makes me feel like the rear end is lifting up in the turn. hanvnt even considered taking it off road because i feel like it will bounce off the road. So my question is.....do i need to look in to a new suspension..if so what do you suggest...im no millionare so nothing to expensive. I have also heard things about a Helwig rear sway bar...anyone ever use one of these things and do you think it would fix my problem. The truck will spend most of its life on the road so i would really like it to handle like an SUV maybe if thats possible. Any suggestions will be appreciated

    I like the height it is, could go for a couple more inches but not if i cant get the handling under control. I have driven SUV's and large trucks and never felt this unstable before, not sure if it is just because of the design of the single cab or if something is worn out. none the less, i want to improve on it and dont want to waste cash on something that isnt going to fix my problem
