Haha, yea yours has definitely been an inspiration with mine. But I'm almost done with the mods and small things. Got my other add-a-leaf on and this morning and shes getting aligned. Then tow shackles and I'm done for awhile (hopefully)

This is what I got for windows.

It is precut but I suggest trimming some off the bottom. It was a little long and caused mine to wrinkle a tiny bit. Other than it being a tad too long, this was a great buy.
This is the windshield I used

Had to remove my rear view mirror for this but it was easy to do.
Also had to get a $10 kit from oreilly for application. some walmarts also carry the same kit.
Thanks for the heads up and I have ordered 35% for all of the door glass and 20% for the windshield and cargo windows. Should be here by the end of the week.

I tore off my front window tint, the new tint will be in tomorrow. I also ordered some cut-able LED strip lights. I didn't like how dull-lit my rear cargo area was so I wired some LEDs into the switch above the rear hatch. I really liked the result, really lights up the inside. only cost like $7
Here's some before and after

Looks really nice with those LED's. You say they're wired into the dome light?

Not sure if its considered the dome light. There is a switch-controlled light just inside the cargo area near the hatch. I just popped the switch out, wired to the LEDs, and popped it back in.

Took the boat out today, blazer pulled the boat okay. The boat is heavier than it looks with the front rack, lights with ballasts, trolling motor and 3 deep cell batteries. Boat ramp was super muddy but she pulled the bowfishin rig out just fine.


Also in this pic you can see I got my front tow shackles installed
