Buy it and ease your fears....I have seen the 80 product in person and very well made. If he completes the 60 model then I will get one.

I thought it appeared to be well made. I though about getting something like this to keep the dog and gear in the back should something happen. Its expensive though.
I sent the guy a PM that installed exact tint in his truck that I have priced out for us. Below is his response.
"Martin, I did not notice a decrease in range. I used to manage some audio/tint shops I remember some of the reflective metallic tint we did could decrease range on antennas built into a window but I don't see how it could decrease the keyless since as far as I know the keyless antenna is probably in the oem module or under the dash. I could be wrong however since I am fairly new to land cruisers. I love the tint I had done. In high light conditions it looks very close however in low light conditions and dusk/dawn the viper tint looks more bronze. Oh well it works for me and is better than black or platinum tint as far as a match goes... Hope this helps!"

Great resource...I emailed to see if the 80 series will fit the 100 series or if they are working on one for 100s...I like the ability to take it out quickly and also not drill anything or have rattle noise due to metal.
see above...will report back what they say.... raingler product for the 80 series is $180 and the full metal version is like $340 (both prices exclude shipping which will much less on the net due to size and weight)
Raingler said many guys are using the 80 series for the 100 series. I am going this route as it's
1. removable
2. can be used on 2nd or 3rd row (for sleeping in back along with gear versatility)
3. cheaper to buy and ship
4. I don't have dogs (would go with metal for the "chew factor")
anybody have experience with either metal or fabric in their 80 or 100 and care to share?
anybody else want in on this? will pull the trigger sometime this month most likely

Drive through 122 degree weather today with the cruise on 80, front and rear air full blast, loaded down with photo and camping gear. Temp gauge never moved past right below half way. DNP, I wouldn't worry about those lights on the bumper.

What's you road mileage?
I am out for the time being. Have some other items that have to take precedence over this. Will be interested to see how it works. My dog doesn't chew so the fabric would work for me and be much less expensive.

How much do you think it would take to get it back in shape? 3 grand?

Hot Damn
Saw a silver 100 yesterday afternoon in Madison with an ARB front bumper and a winch. I was in the FJ Cruiser and he waved but I didn't recognize him. Anyone know who that could be?
your constituents know you better than you know them, Mr. President.
Martin you have that new ARB on yet?
It was me. I saw your Cottonland sticker and waved even though it was just an FJ 
It's a TJM bumper from Slee. Engo 10,000# with synthetic line. Just added Bilsteins and did the torsion bar lift. I also re-did the front seats with Atlassix's leather and am super pleased with the results.
