    Can someone explain to me the use case for this??

    I'd rather have them roll up with lock button hold. That one makes more sense.

    That’s my use case as well. I use it from May through late October in SoCal, or the occasional 78 degree March day, like today.

    I have mine mounted behind the seat too. How is the compressor plumbed from inside to outside where the bed is?

    I installed my predator steps a few days ago and noticed the same thing. I was tempted to put my jack and a block of wood under them right behind the rear step, but I’m afraid the aluminum will just crack if I try to bend them up like that. At least it’s the same on both sides I guess :notsure:

    They must be made like that because I had the same experience. Thought it was odd then noticed it on both sides like you said.

    Got my under hood lights installed yesterday. Here’s my write up if interested.

    Here’s the final product and I love how it turned out!

    Eventually when my warranty is expired and my wife is no longer mad about the cost of the truck I may replace them with a rock slider/step combo anyway so I’m not too concerned

    I turned ESE back on too. Truck felt cheaper without it. Also set the air back to normal. Mine settings seemed way off when I messed with the air conditioning setting.

    Getting out of the truck and forgetting to roll up the window(s).

    A single button on the remote beats unlocking the truck, turning on the ignition, waiting for the windows to roll up, turning off the ignition, locking the truck again.

    Fair enough. Now that I think about it I have left my back window open and the sunroof up. So could see the benefit.

    Aye Frank how does the blue hue look from outside? I went to several area shops looking for the same but no one offered it. Was looking to achieve the way Range Rover/Benz windshields look. I like how they present a metallic blue.

    Ended up getting normal 50% on front windshield, 20% on roof, front windows, and rear roll down.

    I’m curious about those who swear by ceramic tint. I get there is data that shows it rejects heat but is the factory rear windows ceramic or or folks adding a layer overtop?

    you will benefit from tinting all windows... preferably ceramic. factory tint as in tinted glass is way inferior to a quality film. plus you protect interior. :)

    I’ve put tint on every car I own. And all of them have the windshield done. Ceramic sounds nice but it is expensive!! Especially if the windshield gets a knick and needs replaced. I still put up a sun shield regardless.

    Was more curious to those that state ceramic all around - like are they adding a light film to the already factory tinted windows? To each their own and appreciate the feedback!

    I would guess it's on purpose to prevent something from jamming in when moving.

    Eventually they are just going to dip the entire vehicle in a vat of liquid liquid film.

    Will I find that next to the gaseous liquid film or the solid liquid film? ;)

    Well when the garage decided to jump out in front of the driver side mirror, I figured it was time for an upgrade. Though the chrome cap was unharmed, the rest of the assembly took a beating.
