Not much of a Mod...but the LC does look different...much better.

Looks better and it is ALOT cooler inside, especially out here in the desert.

Now I have to wait till Cristo calls me with sliders that are ready to go on!

and I didn't photoshop the shiny parts!

Nice color - looks like a dark pewter. Any blue in it?

in the paint? Nope...just the regular dark/steel grey.
In the tint? Nope.

Did that to mine about a month ago...looks the same and great! I also did add new rubbers...the stockers were horrible in our winters.

Enjoy the ride. Looking forward to future mods.

New rubbers = New Tires?

Just want to make sure we are talking about the same thing....not about trying to "not have a kid" rubbers

Yes, sorry...new tires.
Funny you should mention the kid thing. Number 2 for my wife and me arrived Monday afternoon...a lot of snipping talking going on around the house. Not sure my wife and I can handle any more? I guess new rubbers in that department would work as well as snipping.

I ended up getting Nitto Terra Grapplers a few months ago, didn't like the performance of the stock dunlops in the snow. Always used to get BFGs on my rigs, but thought I would try something new this time. I have been very happy with them to date. The size is same as stock, so not much ride difference there.

I am getting the old snip snip on May 25th.

Congrats on the new kid but 2 kids is nothing....I just had my 4th and they are all under 8! lol

The tint looks very good, Dtt !! Those blistering hot Az ( and TX) summers can be brutal on interiors, as well as your bum, if you don't have the windows tinted !!

Since having the windows done I can get into the LC and not even need to worry about the AC as the first thing I do! Amazing the difference it makes. It is only about mid 90's now.

I got 35% on the windshield and front driver and passenger windows. Then 55% on all the rear doors and rear windows. Makes the car black as night on the outside. Plus even if you put your face up to the windows, you still cannot see in.

We will see how well it works in 120 degree heat in the middle of summer

Anything from 3 or above is just pure chaos. So having 3 or 5 or 7...no difference....chaos is chaos.....
