I'm jealous of you guys that get to tint the front windshield. I just came back from getting mine tinted too, but they wouldn't tint the front, hell, I even bribed them. Lol
really? My tint man even talked me into doing darker windshield, I originally only wanted 50% not sure why a shop would have a problem doing it

Looks goods. It’s to bad they didn’t make the floor cargo mat wider with cutouts around the eye hooks.

This is the exact setup I have been looking for.... Where did you get the custom one and how much if you do not mind me asking? I don't see anywhere on spiderwebshade.com to purchase with a custom image.

The shade looks like it attaches the same place as the mopar grab handles. I'm wondering if they will still work with this shade.

I reached out to spiderwebshade. They stated that the Mopar handles use the screws on top and the shade uses the screws on the bottom.

I love the flag design, but what I don't like about this shade is that you have to drop the windshield every time you want to add/remove the shade (if you choose not to leave it on of course).

I reached out to Alien sunshade and they say that their upcoming design will not require you to drop the windshield each time. According to them, their shades for the JL's should be released within the next few weeks.

I'm thinking of it more as: Sweet, an excuse to drop the windshield! Once I actually get my Jeep anyway.

These are the lug nuts that came with my after market wheels. Every time I went in to get a tier rotation they would strip a lug and I would have to sit around until they fixed it. One time they broke my break drum trying to get the stripped lug out that was a 3 hour tier rotation job.

I will never use them again.

LOL.....

Well, you take any brand lug nut and put it up against an uncaring asshole with an impact wrench and you may very well have issues!

A good shop will forgo the impact wrench if you ask them to, but you may have to pay a few $ more for the job.

I learned long ago to choose my shops wisely.

I also learned that if you forget the impact wrench and just do it with hand tools that you will have few if any issues.

An impact wrench in the hands of an uncaring asshole, especially, will very often cause damage to the rim, stripped lug nuts. lug nut covers torn off, over tightened lugs and more..

Gorilla makes a decent product. It's the gun/gal with the impact wrench, that is the one you should be saying "I will never use again" .

I do believe what you say to be true. But I had the same problem at multiple shops not just one. Once I switched over to the Mopar lug nuts I never had another issue.

Perhaps it was the gun runner, or perhaps it was a defected set of nuts. Either way I will stick with another brand.
