As far as I know, tint laws are 35% on front windows, none on windshield below AS-1 line. That cop is a douce though.

Go with 20s on your truck btw

 

22s. 20s on these trucks just don't cut it...

 

I'm trying to fight the ticket. Wife has daily chronic headaches and bright sunlight and headlights help make them worse, so she called today to let her doctor know she got tint, it helped, and now she got a ticket so hopefully she'll get a prescription.

As for 20's, I just want to be able to fill the wheel well up, but not have to buy tires every year or two.

 

I feel you with the chronic daily headache. My g/f and her mom both have it. I'm sure the doctor and cook something up for her.

as for the rims, I say 20s with a good 45 series tire would be perfect. that's what most of the Lightning guys have. It's still enough rubber to protect the rims and provide great tread life, but thin enough to not over shadow the rim

 

.....Honkey!

 

before i got rid of my 20s i had a 45 series tire. that's the smallest u can go & still be safe & not look retarded. u can do a drop of 22s with reasonable sidewall and better aesthetics imo. I believe user DarthBama has the best functional drop/tires combo for 20s on here. look him up

 

Who ever told you to cover 50% absolutely does not know what they are talking about. Yes getting SOME sound deadening will help but your in there doing why would you ever do 50%?
Cover the entire panel, seal holes etc. I used over 40 square feet of deadening material just on my doors. (1 layer inside the outer skin, and 2 layers on the inner skin)

I am not trying to be mean or anything like that but you totally short changed yourself on the sound deadening and its a shame because you were so deep into the install that it would have been amazing if you deadened the whole thing>

 

I'm still looking into the wheels.

For the sound deadening, I was just doing what RAAMmat owner told me, and I did do 100% layer after putting that stuff on.

 

Well, F150Online, it's been a good time being on the site, but I won't have anymore updates to the truck for awhile. I'm deploying, so I'll see you when I get back.

 

I hope you have a safe one man! My buddy jus got deployed to Afghanistan Friday. We'll be here waiting for ya when ya come home. Thanks!

 

Be safe, Dinggus! Beat some *donkey* and come back without a scratch!

 

Good luck and be safe man. Thanks for serving

 

Thanks, and hope you're buddy stays safe! I would like to see your truck finished when I get back!

I don't think they have donkey's in Africa? I volunteered for this deployment, extended my contract for 4 months since I'm suppose to get out in January. I don't know if I want to reenlist yet, this will be my first one, and the wife thinks I should since it's a steady paycheck. I told her if I do 10, I might as well do 20. So we're going to see if I can do 3 years, come back, do some recruiting, and see where it goes from there. 5 years, hopefully go to the SSG board soon since it's been a year this month. Trying to keep fast tracking.

Thanks I will, keep on tricking out that truck! You're welcome, I love the Army.

 

good luck bud. whens the truck getting to my place to keep it running while your gone?

 

never i think it's on the way here
