Had the kids help me install the Mopar running boards!

Teach them how to Wrench young!

My daughter took the pictures for this side and then helped with the Drivers side. The 5'-7" wife greatly appriciates it after getting in without them first!

Those are a good set of running boards, I put them on my truck after I bought it and they’ve been great. Look the best that I’ve seen also.

Just wondering if anyone has reversed their wrangler tires on their rebel to face the white lettering to the inside to complete the all black look of the night edition? Anyone have pics if so?

Rescued my late father's ride on mower.

She's been sitting in a shed for a lot of years and in pretty rough shape. I needed my portable winch to pull her out and load it into my bed.

Luckily unloading went a lot smoother.

You can use a clear front windshield tint that is awesome.
Im not sure about where you’re from, but in California you can do 70% tint on the windshield :) it’s hardly anything, but there’s a slight hint of darkness & better heat rejection than a full clear or 90% tint!
You can tint the full windshield, just not "legal". If you go with light enough tint, most cops wouldn't even realize. I have 35% on my whole windshield. It's noticeable, but so far haven't had any issues.

As for doing just the top portion of windshield down to legal ASI line, I can't stand the look. Looks like they forgot to do the whole thing, and after riding in a Ram a couple weeks ago with the visor tint strip, it would annoy the hell out of me while driving. Maybe if it was a gradual transition from clear to dark it wouldn't be so bad, like the factory one was in older cars, but the sharp edge is just too much and I felt myself wanting to duck down to see under it.

As for the top of the windshield tint I 100% agree! It’s annoying as hell & I tend to try to look below it also lol

What does this have to do with using a clear "tint"? There are several on the market that do an awesome job of protecting the vehicle from UV and have incredible heat rejection (some far better than a typical colored "tint". No reason at all to use anything tinted unless you want it darker.

He said tinting the windshield was illegal, I just said in california that you can legally tint it 70%. And if comparing the same films, 70% will outperform any “clear” film.

He may also not have known that there is such a thing as "clear tints". Many people don't. Please show us where a 70% tint will outperform ALL clear tints that are especially designed for windshields. Just because a film isn't tinted does not mean its UV and heat rejection cannot be as high or higher than a colored tint.....

If it's clear, the it's not "tint" and is just a clear film

Yeah, had the dealer do it before I picked it up, wasn't a fan of the white lettering.
