You should consider installing 8mil thick 3m securety film on all your window glass. It will make the Windows extremely strong against flying debris. I know the windshield has a layer of temper and an internal safety film... but an additional internal film on all glass will make it possible to stop high speed debris even on side glass. Also should put a piece of expanded metal behind the grille to protect the radiator.

yup!! he did a great job on it!

[@txknightrider82]

you guys forgot the 01 on the door !!!! jk look awesome hope it got a good thick cote

[@joeg4010]

Need to invent a clear coat line x for windshields

[@txknightrider82]

HELL YEA THAT WOULD BE INSANE !!!!

[@user-mp1br6yh1g]

Is that ohsa orange like road signs, or some other tint?

[@MegF142857]

LOVE the color!

[@kenreg2765]

I didn’t know Home Depot let you chase storms in their trucks

[@katclifton1128]

windows should be Lexan. I am an ex- Drag Racer and having Lexan windows (bullet proof) is an extra safety feature.

[@TheRabbut]

If you get close to a tornado it is going to shatter the car windows. honestly Idk why I haven’t seen storm chasers in a fully bullet proof beast of a car. Yeah it’s expensive but it works. Shits invincible.

[@ninjafocus8692]

love the show

[@BurrShotHam711Jenna]

Mitch sent me here

[@95pats]

How much does something like cost

[@ToniMattTony]

What about the windshield and windows, it don't make sense what you are doing!

[@andregelserrano1973]

They cant spray that with line x if they sprayed it they cant see anything through the glass but they should use Bulletproof glass for windshields and the windows

[@ToniMattTony]

Beautiful truck!

[@txknightrider82]

yup my thoughts the same metal mesh sprayed on thick !!!

[@txknightrider82]

Cameron Mcclure yea think it would strengthen it way more than plain mesh .

[@seangowan7441]

What about bulletproof glass for the windshield?

[@lucaszhu1028]

MegF, You are correct.

[@OverlandTT]

I didn't see any proof of bullet proof, none the less - stunning colour - I love orange!

[@superking9326]

Sir, Can we get this in India?? How much Cost will be come?

[@gilbertespinoza7955]

How much did that cost...

[@kyfisher3662]

what was the ruff cost?

[@lucaszhu1028]

Bulletproof glass is heavy.

[@getlit1979]

Should have just put the line x on over the wrap. It's about the only way you'll ever have a chance at getting it off with reasonable effort in the future.

[@petethelion4614]

why would you ever want it to come off

[@Seymour5575]

how much did it cost?

[@hdkapa]

I paint my harley bagger on that substance!! then seen what it looks like??

[@jimmy4x4socal44]

Now you need bulletproof glass all the way around 🖕🏻😎

[@unadvanced3910]

Jimmy Garcia Something like plexiglass would work better since bulletproof glass still cracks

[@l8dfg]

They need tornado 🌪 proof stupid.

[@0600otf]

how much

[@J8ck_hoff]

well a 6.5 truck bed cost around $500 and up in Canada. I assume these guys may be sponserd so it was probably cheap or free. but that's probably a 7-10 grand paint job maybe even more.

[@J.Johanson]

5k

[@urfuturewifeofc]

i want your car

[@troyjames5977]

Go home with your hemi orange Ford....

[@cjeam9199]

Not gonna do much for your safety really. Might protect the bodywork a bit though.

[@bigcountry7096]

Line x is def not bulletproof

[@Wubbox992]

Tornado

[@urfuturewifeofc]

now

[@gregistopal]

Dude what a shitty tornado hunter car you gotta armour the windows and shot

[@YumYumGetchaSum]

Bad idea. Line-x makes it so your truck's crumple zones will no longer crumple, making it unsafe in a crash which is more likely than damage from a tornado. It also will add weight and a textured surface, both of which will hurt performance.

[@vincevegacustoms8860]

Jesus H. Christ you do know the crumble zones dont have line x on them only the sheet metal wich does nothing in a crash...it dont change a thing buddy

[@MegF142857]

They said was only 350 pounds of weight, which isn't that much.

[@swayzy762]

MegF 350 is a lot of extra weight. You don't know your cars lol

[@4schitzangiggles]

OFFICIAL Laketh Empire KZbin 350# of weight is far less than using thicker metal or plastic, that truck won't know the difference performance wise. You do realize that people put more weight than that with light bars, after market bumpers and even larger tires will add far more weight than that. As far as crumple zones, those are engineered into the frame and interior structural panels. These guys drive INTO the tornado and damage from baseball sized Hail and flying debris is far more likely than an auto crash.

[@getlit1979]

Lol. Line x isn't *that* strong. Plus it's somewhat flexible. It'll crumple just fine fellas.
