Interesting subject, hadn't really considered this before but could totally see the benefits of it.
Question, does it apply on the inside of the windshield like other window tint? I had been thinking of trying something on the outside for prevention of rock chips.
thx
For sure, it's hard though. My son bought a used 2019 Tacoma two years ago, has put 20k miles on it and its worth today what he paid for it. Those damn things hold their value so well because hardly anything goes wrong with them and have such a loyal following.
As for the Jeeps, at least in...
It's funny to me. I have a friend at work that is a "Jeep person", it came up in conversation that I ordered a Bronco and his response was "I am sorry", I said don't be, I needed a vehicle that could get to the mountain tops to do radio work and wanted something more comfortable than a jeep with...

I bit the bullet and ordered one from my local dealer who will sell it at MSRP or maybe a little lower by the time...
So my bronco is on order but I live in a rural area like what you describe and have owned a variety of trucks and other vehicles through the years.
A couple of thoughts you might look into.
I plan to go with the rock rails and steps from Archetype, they appear to go a little lower than...
I too have ordered a WT that I am planning a fairly substantial install in. I have done a fair amount of reading here already and have not come across anyone noting any noise issues however it's worth noting that amateur radio users make up a very small percentage of folks here and those...
