After many attempts to navigate a tricky section backwards at night, I decided window tint isn't really that "Cool" so peeled off the stuff a previous owner had put on. Sunglasses are cheap and a cop won't hassle you for wearing them.

The window tint issue seems like an argument for the sake of an argument

Window tint has its uses:

Prevents UV damage to expensive leather seats,
Prevents would-be thieves from seeing what you have available to steal inside your vehicle,
Prevents people from seeing you getting some nooky in the back seat.

Just to name a few ;)

Leather seats are for poofsters... Dont stain as easy.

I dont keep stuff I shouldnt in the Jeep.

As long as ya keep both hands visible, I couldnt care less who sees what and where ;-)

Tint on a 4x4 screams mall crawler. Period. My factory tinted rears irritate me at night on the trails... Otherwise, they keep the wee one in the back cool on the hot days, only use I can find and a HUGE one.

I guess wheel spacers are out:  Section 9.5c  Any non OEM wheel spacer is installed between wheel and wheel mounting surface is grounds for failure.  Hmmm.
