ive got a buckle, and i thought you were taking those tan seats out? If so i can use the top half of my L seat on the bottom half of the tan seat and delete the arm rest that way too.

i did take them out but youd still need that one frame rail you dont have. problem was he wasnt selling the black frame that mounts the seat to the truck so i had to reuse the ones from the tan seats. ive been looking for some trashed buckets to steal them from though.

Alex taking pics at night just didnt work. ill try again tonight but believe me when i tell you, you can see just fine throught the front windows at night. i have some pics from this morning at like 7 when it was overcast out.





hard to see in the last one but its the best i could do for a comparison. doors were shut also

I'm liking the tinting of the windshield. I may do that as well, bet it really helps with keeping the truck cooler inside. I used to get tint violation tickets so much back in the day with my old truck (had 5% on my windows), so I'm definitely not looking to get into that trouble again. I'll have to read up on the laws here.

I'm sure no matter where you look it's illegal as hell, the key is making it look stock/blend in with the truck. I'd definitely do it, and plan on it sometime with this truck, I just probably won't go as dark on the sides as I did last time.

Yea the amount of heat it cuts out is great. and cashel is right its pretty much illegal everywhere, but imo its worth it if i get pulled over for it.

but then again not many people do it and so its not something alot of cops look for or even think people do. like when i got pulled over for the side windows the trooper didnt even think twice about the windshield. she just focused on the side windows
