    It is not bolted to or through through the body in any way. These are body on frame trucks, that wouldn't last long with natural flex between the body and frame. It's bolted to the frame and can be removed or replaced if needed.

    There is no need to remove carpet. It's bolted to the frame. Nothing at all is bolted through the body to the frame on a body on frame vehicle besides body mounts which have isolators.

    I get it. My taco has Accutune Fox 2.5 Factory series and 2.0's in the rear. Excellent shocks that will need a rebuild soon as well. There's pics on the previous page. :cool: It's nice but a bit of a pain to be down for a week or so.

    Got it tinted. 25% on the front windows and 80% on the backs and sunroof. All ceramic for the heat reflection.

    Feel free to ask
    Looks like the 25% front and 80% with the rear privacy glass matches pretty well. I’m getting ceramic done on mine later this month and was thinking a 30% or 40% on the front and clear on the back to try and get them to match.

    I thought the lower the number the darker the tint. The back looks too dark for 80% maybe 20%??

    Maybe it’s the picture. But it looks good.

    The factory privacy glass is going to make an 80% appear darker.

    I needed some help drying SEAMINT so I popped for one of these with the 30' hose. Sure hope it helps. First time user reviews are mixed, while all those who use them for a living praise it.

    Once again. Time and use will tell.

    Battery powered leaf blower works great after washing. Dry with an appropriate drying towel and blow water out of tight spots with the leaf blower.

    Its a real solid match, I'm curious how it'll be in direct sunlight but it looks much better than the fishbowl front window it used to be haha.

    This^ the factory glass on the back windows is already dark and didn't need to be any darker. I just wanted heat reflection for the dogs in the back and to help keep the truck cool in the summer.

    Appreciate the tip. I have their motorcycle dryer which works better than my 110v leaf blower, but still wasn't enough. It's so dry here if you don't get the water off(high mineral content)you're screwed. May have to go to a water softener. Have already figured out how to set one up(reasonably priced) for washing cars exclusively.

    The shop that did mine used 15% front and 40% on the rears and back glass. Pretty damn close, they said maybe 1 or 2% match

    It looks great! Keep the windows down if you come to California. Most city cops pay no never mind but the CHP gets their jollies writing fix a tickets.

    My wife drives our 4R often and I don’t think she would be a fan of going that dark and driving at night.

    Right on, I was just giving you a reference for what you'll get tinting over the already tinted back.

    ha! If the officer wants to measure the legality of tint he's welcome to waste both our time to do so, I just can't see them writing a fix it ticket for someone who lives out of state.

    ^LOL commie -LMBO-fornia
    Thanks for the look our @Moon Landing
    @NotaTRD I got the same thing...the 'they're already tinted'
    Me:
    'Oh yeah well, I'm gonna the one that's driving it so...tint it's is' lol

    As for going toe to toe well
    ST still wins I think "should know the rules from the start your going too"
    (reciprocity, kinda thing)
    But it's fun to watch'em scratch theirs heads

    Who would have thought somebody would pay you 4 grand to drive a 4runner around for 24,000 miles. Unbelievable.

    I could see having to do the same thing, but I would only do it if I had a solid line on a new OR, specd out the same, below msrp
