    I made a mistake. The 2023 and older jeep gladiators have more options for the same price in the same trim levels. the new models are at the same price with less options. This is all a long term plan. Anyways. i found the prices for all these items and put them in the description. imagine going the dealer and worst case scenario your into $4000cnd for a windshield. The oem windshield alone is almost $1200 before taxes

    Now imagine owning a cyber truck...😂
    "Had a 700$ repair yesterday"
    "Suspension?"
    "No, windshiled wiper"
    "Just one?!"
    "Thats all it came with, had to special order it and wait 6 months"

    I've seen cars with 1 body harness from the front to the back. Could you imagine trying to replace that?

    I believe at 2018 there's no toyota that didn't come with radar cruise/lane assist cameras, did made windshield replacement 3× to 4×. Not sure how much they cost now.

      770 bucks for my 2019 Tacoma from Safelite the windshields only 400 but then you got slammed with a programming fee for the cameras of the truck to be realigned for Sight picture which I don't understand because the adaptive cruise control radar system is located within the grill

    Hey Lance bro, looking forward a decade or two, how difficult is it gonna be to de-tech and de-nagify all the cars being built today and return em to early 2000s tech

      As long as it doesn't effect the drivability not too hard i think. It may go the route of cellphones. these 1000 to 3000 dollar units will get repaired. wait and see what happens

      May happen with cars produced in large numbers. Others will be declared dead because of unfixable things like wet running belts failing deep inside charged three pot engines worn out anyway...

    Lance have you ever changed a windshield on a Jumbo or a simba. It is 7/8 of an inch thick. My shift boss told me to change it. I had zero tools other than suction cups. I had to cut the old urethane with my milwaukee knife because no one had a sawall. Fun times.Happy holidays.

      Did the curved one on the back. thank god that was bolted together lol! Haven't had the privilege to do the fronts yet. its coming though :P We do have forward mitigation cameras on the new jumbos. You can see on the navigation for drill plans it looks exactly like the face your drilling. :P
