see thats what happens when you try to 4x a SUV.... all those luxuries did him how much good? NADA. (well maybe the heated seats helped thaw it out)

I coulda made it in my YJ. or my old 'yota.

funny post though, your timing is impecable. I made some time this afternoon to go play in the fresh mud.

the cherokee is a very capable suv, it has a little longer wheelbase then the yj, when I had my cj7 there were certain times that my short wheelbase was a problem.

I think th xj (cherokee) is one of the better offroad vehicles, it is small, light, solid front axle, and with the right lift kit you can get 21 inches of wheel travel out of it, now thats not a huge amount considering the sniper and custom built 4x4's but it is damn good for a production vehicle.

Only thing bad about the xj is that it is a unibody frame so you cant do a body lift. it takes 6 inches of lift to get 33's underneath it.

didnt know you were a jeeper voltron.

agree, there re plenty of times for longer wheel base.

overall thrashin around, gimme the short though. like the squirliness, and being able to get it back more often. I feel like I have a bch more of time to get her back straight. long wheels once that weight is around on ya, theres more momentum to overcome to whip her back in line.

cmon now, do you really see me having the patience for crawling?

      Did you get this taken care of? What were the results and are you pleased?

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Take a look at 3M's Nightvision or LLumar's Dual Reflective series, they both have a warm tone to them.

      Steer clear of Black Armour, Suntek, ASWF. The others are good choices if you are in Australia. Check out the reviews of the installer too. It’s not just the materials that have to be proper. Never go for the cheapest!!!

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Hey guys I am in the process of having window film installed in my home but have a question about which brand I should go with. Hoping yall can help me out. I have a room that faces a busy street and as a result my blinds pretty much always stay closed. I love having natural daylight but not so much people being able to see what i'm doing in my room/all my expensive equipment. I used to work in the window film industry as a helper/installer/salesman when I was in highschool and we did a lot residential/commercial work. The specific brand of film we used always left a certain blue and cool appearance. Is there any brand of residential film that does not have this effect? I mainly just cannot stand having blue light amplified and am looking for a film that has a neutral shade to it or even a warm/yellow hue. I have single pane windows and I do not necessarily care about heat rejection but if I have to pay more for a ceramic film rather than a dual reflective or a standard film I am willing to if that helps solve the issue. Again, any help is really appreciated with this there are so many new window film brands out there and it really is cool to see how far the industry has come.

      LLumar, 3M and Solargard have in the industry as far back as the genesis of window film mid-1960's). Solargard is the younger of the three and all others came to play in the last 20 or so years. I've had all three on my vehicles over the years and my current is 3M Crystalline on my Jeep since 2015. It still has stable color, scratch coat is holding strong and impeccable adhesive clarity. Never been garaged. My choice toady would be 3M or LLumar.

      Hook up with Glassy Business and get all the ins and outs of pro vs DIY with window film. That company goes back way before my retirement in 2015. I want to believe they are/were a Vista Film dealer and I cannot remember the owner's name. Peace out.

      Once more thank you, you are the best I been looking at the specs for the products you mention and info into tinting a window. I recently did wrap my wife's car and it turn out really nice, for what I have been seeing tinting a window is similar and I am tempted to do it myself. With that said I can't find any place to buy the products you mention, I found quite a few films in Amazon but they seem sketchy. There is other web sites selling films but the ones you mention I can’t locate, anyhow is there any place where I can buy this products?
