232-8881 Thanks, Derrick

Ah, good to know. I'll probably stick with my $6 sunshade for now then. :lolguy:

I'm not sure what she quoted me for the windshield was Pinnacle. Whatever she recommended was only 75% though, which is apparently legal. I have a fold out windshield reflector thing that works fine when I'm parked, so I'm not too sold on the windshield yet. I'm sure it would probably help keep it a little cooler when I'm on the move though. I'll definitely get some more info when I'm in for the sides.

I called Quality Window Tint on Saturday since they seem to be the go-to guys in the area. Apparently they are pretty popular because they're booked up right now, but I made an appointment for the 3rd. After talking to them I definitely plan to go with the 35% Pinnacle. I asked about windshield tint and it would be around $150 for the windshield alone, so I decided to skip that for now and maybe I'll look at a sample while I'm in there for the side windows.

Vent visors may be good for keeping it from happening again. In this heat a small amount of moisture can be a problem if you have no air circulation. A friend of mine moved to Florida last year and they only use his Jeep to hit the beach occasionally. It goes unused for a couple weeks at a time. Since its always hot there if there's even a slightly damp spot on the floor mat or some moist sand it will smell like an old towel within a day or two. Vent visors completely cured this problem because, obviously, he can leave the windows cracked.

Id do it for a bottle of this beer... http://www.internetwines.com/rws28347.html :gabe:

You're only saying that because your Landrover is Jack Hannah'd Out. Props on starting the next color/contrast craze though. :gabe:

That's what I'm thinking. Between my old-man driving style and the light-ish colored interior I think I should be fine with 35%. Ultimately I would have liked to match the rear, but I think that's pushing my luck too much. Soundls like it's definitely worth paying for the good stuff though. I get the feeling most people/cops wouldn't even notice a Cherokee anyway, even though it is an awesome super-fast space ship.:gabe: Thanks to all for the opinions/experience. I'll have to make my final decision and get something done shortly. It's hot as balls out lately.

My interior is primarily tan with a black dash and some sweet ass burlwood trim. I'm really considering 35% now, though I think I'd feel better about being 100% legit. :fa:

This is mainly why I'm a scaredy bitch about it not being legal. I'm always in compliance when carrying, but I'd just rather avoid having to deal with a traffic stop and the possibility of being hassled (I know a few CCW guys that have been).

I'd like to tint the front side windows in the Cherokee, partly for looks I guess but mainly to block some of the heat. Another of Ohio's gay laws limits those windows to 50% and that seems really light to me. I'm fairly certain that the factory tint on the back windows is 20%, so I know I can't legally match that but I'm surprised they don't allow 30-35% at least. So, the issue is that I have found alot of info on the net claiming that some of the "cheap" tints supposedly block a fairly low percentage of heat transfer unless you go very dark. "Premium" tint companies claim ~50% heat blocking from their 50%, which I would have assumed would be true of any tint that blocks 50% of the light. I never realized there were so many different tint materials on the market - metallic, nonmetallic, ceramic, etc. If I can really block 50% of the heat coming in with legal tint I think it may actually be worth doing, but I feel like I'm being reeled in by marketing disguised as real science. Secondarily, I know alot of people seem to get away with 20% or darker but I drive this thing everywhere and would rather not be hassled by the man. I know a guy that recently got 35% on his side windows and he's been pulled over twice already. :no:

Yeah, must not be indexed in the search on the App Store yet. Direct linking definitely works though.

107,xxx Grey on Grey is a bit hard to read.

Former Ashvillian here too. I certainly wouldn't call it predominantly black unless it has changed alot in the last few years. Whitehall I could see though. Not sure why it matters though because she's going to get shit from all races. Hide yo' kids.

Yeah, I guess that's more like a truck at least. Still unibody but has a bed. The closed cooling system isn't awful really but is easily swapped to open. I always talked about swapping the 90 to open if it gave me trouble but it never did. I didn't notice that Geoff mentioned good fuel mileage in the criteria. I don't know what your current truck is, but a Cherokee may not be vast improvement in that department (~20 MPG hwy). Probably no worse than a Blazer or similar though.

Also, there are countless Cherokees on CL or various forums in that price range if that meets your criteria (again, not a truck exactly). They tend to be very dependable vehicles.

That's what I was thinking, though I understand not wanting to buy something that will need work immediately. Here's a local 93 Legacy L w. reasonable miles. Typical shitty CL ad without a pic though: http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/2484898016.html High mileage 99 Outback: http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/2455353674.html High Mileage 98 outback. Actual pics on this one (fucking CL:dumb:): http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/2443736850.html Supposedly all of these "run well".

Dell business class (Vostro) w/ a larger battery. Adds more weight obviously, but if that's not of concern it's worth it. They are built strong and are spill resistant. I can tell you from personal experience that computers do not like to drink Killian's. I haven't tried it with this one though. Just be careful how you option it out. You can spend alot of money on basic upgrades that aren't really worth it. I have a Vostro 1500 with a 9-cell battery. It's 4-5 years old now but still easily does anything I need to work remotely. I typically get about 5-6 hours of mixed usage on a full charge. I used to get around 7 when it was new.

Cherokee (not really a sedan or a truck though). Maybe an older Legacy or Outback? I initially thought DSM too, but I assume you intend to get something reliable.:gabe:

Mine is set up now too. Adding the CR group. I'm the guy with the short last name that sounds delicious. :gabe:

That one's resistive.

Fixed (though I'm sure that's what you meant). Either way, they make a hell of a winter vehicle (esp. w/ NP242) or simply messing around off-road. GLWS

As much as I try not to be an Apple fag, I have to agree with this. :fa: I have a rooted Nook Color and for the price it's hard (impossible?) to beat, but the iPad has a much simpler interface with more support. It's probably a better choice for a kid unless it's not in the budget, though I realize the thread title specifically mentions Android. I like the Android platform but it's just not yet as polished as the iOS in my opinion.
