It appear most of the truck mags have been talking about the s10 lately. I think this is one reason Super Lift is looking into the s10.

I just saw a 4door blazer and the window looks very very close to our rear window. The small window is def. not the same. There is def. non-tinted windows out there cause fleet vehicles you could get them without tint. The problem will be getting your local glass shop to find it.

Good Luck,

i thought about that too, but I havent seen any clear glass on a 4 door blazer either -- it was a standard option for factory tinted glass even on base models, and mine is so dark , that I haven't seen the need to tint the windows ont he trucka t all, and I usually run 20 - 35% on all my vehicles. ...
