    What percentage tint? Any green hue on the front?


    Mine came with front 2 windows tinted... But just barely. I got an appointment 2 weeks from now for tint. I'm thinking I'll go 15% all around.

    My last 2 Tacomas were 5% limo all the way around. Never had an issue.

    15% I’m pretty sure no green hue it’s just a tad darker than rear windows but blends very well ...

    Did they tint just the front 2 windows at 15% and you kept the backs the way they came? Were your front 2 tinted at all when you got it?

    I'm having this guy tint 15% on all windows except the windshield... I figure 15% on top of the "privacy glass" windows will make it darker than my front 2. My front 2 came tinted But it's very light. I'll have that removed before putting 15% on them.

    The green hue is in the glass... But... My front 2 windows definitely has added tint. You can see and feel it on the edge of the window and can pull it off.

    Crazy thing is... They only added tint to front 2 windows but still add $499 bucks to the sticker price for tint LOL

    My wife has a 2019 Camry with tint from factory too... It's darker and more windows were actually tinted... Still $499 add-on on her sticker as well. Crooks LOL

    Yes only had the front two done I had thought about doing the rear ones but don’t really need it , if you do the 15 on top of the factory tint they will definitely be completely blacked out lol ... I’m guessing...

    So, on my rig, I did the 20% on the fronts, and to help hide the OEM yellow window tint, I requested they use more of a carbon Black. That's why we ended up using the XPEL XR Black. Because I wanted solar protect all around the vehicle and more privacy in the back, we used 55% on all back windows. The 20/55 combo with the OEM tinting matched up really well. See post 5585 I actually wanted the back end even darker, but the shop talked me out of it. Said it wouldn't look right.

    Your rig looks great.

    I'm used to 5% ALL over though. In the Florida sun i almost need it LOL.

    My last 2 Tacomas were done at 5% and cost me $50 bucks. The 4runner at 15% is costing me $100... Just regular 3m tint though...But i went to school with a guy that now tints for local dealerships and does home tinting... He hooks me up.

    All the South facing Windows on my home are tinted too. Helps a ton.

    I totally hear you on this, but pretty much every company does something, Greenlane OffRoad has their trees, RCI, Factor 55 puts their stamp on everything. Car manufacturers make it almost impossible to get their logos off. I wish they didn’t, I don’t like being a billboard for companies, but most of the companies that do it make the best stuff, so what can you do.
    I will say I have Victory4x4 full roof rack and it looks so good I hardly notice their logo, also Greenlane’s sliders and hidden winch mount, the trees grow on you. (See what I did there?)

    Anyone else getting wind noise after 65MPH with the GOBI Stealth? If so is there a solution? I heard a lightbar can help.

    Totally agree, but Budbuilt doesn't put anything on their stuff, that was one of the reasons I went with them for the sliders/skids.

    That's where I am. Make it smaller or offer an option where it doesn't exist.

    Agreed, I think smaller is totally acceptable but I would not expect it to be deleted all together.

Had a running start around 20mph and slowed down to about 5 when the computer kicked in and startied leveling out the car and got on top of the sand. I thought I was about to get stuck until the computer took over and managed the power to wheels. Didn’t even use the multi terrain

    Not a fan of the red, would prefer all blacked out including the rear lift gate.

    The red up front is different, and I kind of like it. However I am not a fan of the side badges on these vehicles no matter what color or configuration they are, and I would just debadge those off the vehicle if it was mine. Looks so much cleaner that way IMO.

    I like the red on the side badges :thumbsup:

    I'm also not sure about the red on the front. I tend to prefer the grey it comes with.

    AJT climate control knobs showed up today. Really looks good with the matching transfer case shifter. SUPER EASY install!

    Got the rear cargo area set up for my 100lb great dane/lab mix by adding a cargo protector, then a cheap comforter from Wal-Mart. My old tool box from the Yukon was too big, so I bought a couple of smaller black totes to store my gear. Dog loves the lowering rear window!

    Was also pleasantly surprised to find that my carry pistol rides perfectly in the lid of the center console...

    I'm now in the middle of coating the factory rims with Plasti-Dip. One side is done and it looks 10x better than stock. Very happy so far.
