    For everyone that commented on the windshield...
    1: none of you live in Vegas to know the heat that goes on here so I did it for UV purposes
    2: it's 50% and it's hardly noticeable (i'll get pics)
    3: ^^^ Like Pineapple said looks amazing...

    The reason it MAY seem darker from the outside is because the other windows are dark causing the front to appear darker than it is. It's really not bad at all... :D

    I don't know that " form over function " can be used to describe things like windshields

    Kinda falls in the same catagory with things like blacked out headlights and taillights, non-DOT bumpers plate bumpers and tinted windows. All saftey related items that our states have some kind of laws against, buy we do it anyway. To each their own i guess.

    I lived in Vegas for almost 10 years, so I know how hot it gets. NEVER tinted my windshield. They make these things called sun visors to keep the heat out when you are parked.

    Hardly noticeable, yea right... until you hit someone and say "I didn't see them" :facepalm:

    Looks over safety :rolleyes: Stupid is as stupid does.

    Good job getting rid of the "DunPops" I had them on my last Taco and had a blowout with no warning on the interstate while right beside an 18 wheeler which almost turned out very bad. Took them off first chance I got and will never have another set of Dunlops ecspecially AT20's.

    plenty of UV down here in Florida...you know, "the sunshine state" :D

    and I would never tint the windshield for the purpose of form (looks) over function.

    I doubt it is legal for one, and if other drivers can not see you it's disrespectful and foolish. have you ever been at a 4-way stop and given the other driver the nod? or waved someone in line or at a yield spot?

    seems kinda stupid to me. :notsure:

    Hey, TX PRO, just so you know, the windshield is the only window that comes from the factory with 100% UV protection. Got a doument from Toyota corp on it if your interested.

    I've been here for more than 10 years... this is my first time doing it, should have done it a long time ago!

    Hardly noticeable? You don't even know what it looks like from the inside but thanks anyway...

    I have sun visors as well... and I've NEVER hit anyone or anything in my life, don't see it happening anytime soon.. :)
    Plus the cab cools down tremendously faster since I did it..

    And I guess everyone that has over 35% on their front windows are unsafe as well?


    He told me! Huh? LoL

    Should try it... it's actually not that bad... just about any pair of sunglasses would be 2-3 times darker...
