Welp fellas, I'am officially happier than a puppy with two peters!

Revolution Gear&Axle makes the shizzel . Nice choice. I run their 4340 rear axle shafts in my main crawler and they're tough as anything short of 300m.
Plus , 'murican made.

I appreciate the offer, but am sure the shipping would kill the savings. I can grab a set at the local Pick N Pull for about $120 or so. Problem is, if a decent set comes in some jack *** yanks the driver's seat ASAP. Always.

Good to know, it was a toss up between them and american standard. Got a smoking deal on them, actually cheaper than they were supposed to be. I've been toying with the idea of throwing in new axles while I'm at it

Hey have any of y'all tried using this stuff? Seems like it would be worth the gamble, but it has mixed reviews don't if the film actually sucks or the people trying to install it are tards.

No...Tint is one of those things I always leave to the pros.

X2 it wasn't too expensive for mine and it has a warranty.

That price is very inviting, it has me tempted. I'll let you go first.

I don't know, man. What if you mess up, like, just the rear passenger window during installation?

But a traditional window tint comes in a roll...so you just unroll some more and redo the window.

Also, I've never installed tint, so I have ZERO EXPERIENCE with it. I'm just tossing in another perspective.

It was just a thought. I tinted a standard cab s-10 once and cutting the tint to size while not creasing it, or cutting yourself was the hardest part. Tint film is sharp as a razor on the edges BTW. I was concerned with the quality of the eBay film, I used Llumar and all the cars I have had tinted professionally had it as well. I'm mainly wanting to tint my front windows to match the back. I'm thinking of getting the 35% kit and trying it on the front first, if all goes well I'll tint the rest of the heep. The warranty at most tint shops only covers the film and not the labor so it's almost useless since they typically only use around $20 in film.

If you've done it before, give it a try. I would get nicer tint then. If you're used to Llumar, eBay tint will probably be disappointing.

The shop I go to covers whatever on their warranty. He's replaced one window and the windshield free. Also, if you want it to match. The rear windows are like 18% so 20% matches best, that's what I have on mine.

Not yet. I'm still taking the front end apart. I'm in the middle of a ball-joint/hub/u-joint replacement project. Stupid April weather. Blizzard today, but supposed to be 50's and sunny tomorrow/this weekend. I'll finish disassembling the front end.
