Now, that I believe!:giggle:
Thinking seriously about having the front windows retinted to match the back.
They're already illegal, might as well do it right.

Make sure you can see out at night now. Good thing these trucks have good lights, my night sight is not what it use to be.

True..
But I rarely ever drive at night..
I just hate the look of the fronts being lighter.
How many states have a law against
Limo Tint on your front windows.
My 85 Vette has had Limo Tint on them since day one.
Knock on wood, never been ticketed for them.

Man do I wish the 4x2 came with white letters. Bleche Wite is also good for cleaning tires that have that slight brown color over time. It’ll make them look new again. Then use a tire shine that is water based.
Used bleach white once, wasn't impressed...maybe I didn't use correctly, as my tires still had that brown crap on them(from what I've gathered the brown crap is part of the mold release when tires are manufactured and continues to seep out of the rubbers pores).
Will try again along with brush you attach to any drill to scrub your tires with!

Definitely use some sort of stiff bristle brush.

1. Use Bleche-Wite, some people wet tire before hand (I don't)
2. Scrub with stiff bristle brush.
3. Rinse with water hose.
4. Enjoy clean tires.

You probably only have to do this once every couple of years.

A lot of states. It's 32% in NC. It cost an extra $10 when you get your car inspected, they measure the tint with a meter. If you don't pass then you'll have to get it removed and do it again. Back in the day you could just roll your windows down and they would pass it before they started using the meters and cracking down on window tint.

That's why I'm thinking about changing to Limo,
I still have a year and half till my next state inspection..
They call me on it then I take it off and have it put back after I reinspect it.
The place I just started using didn't Check the glass. I know all the others have in the past.
My other truck has limo and it passed.
