Thanks Brian! I'll go take a couple soon. I've been trying to finalize some plans for our trip. Turns out there's still a ton of snow at Grand Tetons and a lot of the trails (which are usually ready now) are still covered in snow from this years record storms. Uggg, I don't mind some snow but all my "real" winter gear is back at my parents house in MA. No real reason the have snow boots in the desert.

Parts of Wyoming still get snow in May! Late June and was sleet/snow in Yellowstone when we were there on the Harleys!

I figured there'd be some but this video I watched (she's an ex park Ranger) she said many are still either closed or covered in a lot of snow. Even the boat ride shuttle across Jenny Lake to reach some of the lower valley trails is still closed (it's usually open by now) because of the ice and snow. Hopefully they have a quick thaw soon.

Looking great! I did some of the same first mods... spray in liner, tonneau cover, tailgate damper (the essentials).

Thanks David. I'm sure glad you added the damper as an essential. ?

Dave, @AzScorpion That is the cleanest I have seen your Damper, in a long, long time. The new MP2 is coming along nicely.

Tint came out really nice. I did 20% all around and just went with a visor strip. I asked him about doing the windshield and he said he will do it but that they're illegal here without a prescription/ Dr's note. So if you have vision problems or skin problems you can get one. I figured 20% is over the legal limit (35%) but everyone here has it and even darker so I'm not going to push the windshield too.

I was going to do ceramic and the installer talked me out of it. He said he's been doing this for 22 years and he doesn't see the benefit out here with it and the added costs. I was surprised to hear this because every video seems to swear by it but I went with his recommendation and just did regular tint. I figured why would he try and talk me out of spending more money? Usually they try and get to upgrade. Ive never had it before and have managed to live with our heat so far. Plus I'm not working as much anymore and my truck is always garaged at home.

White trucks with dark tint look damn good

White trucks with dark tint loom damn good

Looks great, Dave!

Thanks! Yes white trucks and dark windows seem to go together. lol The rears came out darker because they had privacy tint from the factory. Now he said it's almost as dark as if I did limo tint on them. I like this because now no one can see our stuff when we're traveling in the back seat if we're parked somewhere hiking for the day. I always have my 12V cooler and power station back there and in my '19 you could see everything because the tint was only 35%.

Hopefully, my fathers day present, I will redo my tint and go a little darker. I plan to put tint over the rear windows for the same reasons you listed.

Looking good Dave!

Best paint protection advice I can offer, beyond 303 of course, is a strong Hot Pepper Red Metallic wrap.

Thanks Scott. See we actually agree on something! ? I'm not even sure they have that color but I would've loved to have found a Tremor in the HPR.

I never knew I needed a lower grille until I read your thread. Just ordered M2M. Used the damn link in your post. This place is not good for my wallet! ???
