Just added 295/55 20” Baja Boss ATs on Black Rhino Shrapnel rims along with some Mopar mud flaps. I briefly had ridge grapplers but didn’t like the wet road performance, otherwise a great tire. Comparing to two the Baja Boss are much more aggressive looking, a little quieter and less apt to spin on wet road. The RGs were not LT tires so the Baja Boss do ride a little stiffer but still extremely comfortable so far. Only time will tell for sure but so far extremely happy with the new setup.

Thanks! the guy that I plan to do mine said he would tint over the back and rear glass to achieve "Limo" darkness. Front windows would be 35% to be legal in Georgia. He suggested 70% on windshield because it would help with heat, UV and glare at night. But illegal in Georgia.......still commentating it though.
FWIW - I'm in Georgia and my fronts are 20%. No tickets yet. No tickets in my wife's van either and she's had it for a few yrs now.

I'm in GA and have 70% on windshield. you can't really tell it's there and it really cuts down on heat. if you try it and don't like it, just pull it out.

I've been seeing more and more people with darker tint on the windshield around here as well. I think 70% is pretty safe. I think all of our future vehicles will get full windshield tint.

Getting my windshield done (70% ceramic) was the best move I’ve made. My wife liked it so much, we ended up re-doing her tint, which was due only, no ceramic. I’m also in Georgia, and so far, it hasn’t gotten either of us in trouble.

Looks nice, dare I ask how much you have into that, all in?

It was pricey but worth it. I bought it from an awesome company in Colorado called MVI (919)995-9523. They provide everything you need for a perfect fit, the install took me like and hour with programming and everything.
I'll give you a round about on what I payed - AROUND $2,800.
But he'll buy your old radio, so that saves you a bit. The biggest thing is that its way cheaper than infotainment.

Added the carbon fiber piece to my radio cluster. Pictures don’t really do it justice. Looks way better than the cheap factory looking piece

When you cut him a check, ask if you should write it to Chrysler Financial direct or if the guy from the last job already paid it off for him. It is brazen for a contractor to flaunt profits in the face of a customer or even emoyees for that matter.
So, if he's hard working and successful, he should drive around in a stripped down work truck so he doesn't offend someone? I disagree with your position. When I see someone succeed, I think to myself...good for him/her.

Thanks Guys, I like the idea and benefits of windshield tint and will probably go in that direction. My only hesitation is what someone pointed out in another thread that if you are ever in an accident the opposing party could use that against you in court. I know the chances are slim to none that would ever happen.

Agreed. Good for him - he shouldn’t be ashamed of doing well with his business.
Personally, I make it a point not to flaunt nice things when I go in for negotiations with developers. It would be pretty hard to cry “poor” while standing in front of a $90k truck.

Don’t count someone else’s pockets. Could of been a number of factors on how he purchased it. Maybe he had a older truck worth a good but and financed the rest. A TRX isn’t impossible to afford without the huge mark up.

Guess we all need to drive stripped down work trucks so we’re not quick to judge. I’m sure if the next guy pulled up in 98 rusted truck you wouldn’t be so quick to judge him…

The real question is what did he do with his stock wheel/tire set up… you need to buy the stock set up from him.
