Two questions:
1.) Both front windows sound make a lovely screach (cant really explain the saound but nothing is scratching the glass) while going up and down.. but operate perfect.
2.) Its is a very basic dumb question, max presure on my tires are 80 lbs... what should I be running them at for street use? and what is safe to air them down to for mudd/sand?

Spray everything inside the window with silicone spray and see if that helps.
On your tires, if 80 is max then you should try about 50 and see how it feels. How low you can run them depends on the tire. What are they?

I don't think you will have a problem running as low as 45 pounds around town as long as you aren't hauling anything.
In the sand I run my 10-ply tires as low as 20 pounds with no problems. I would go as low as 15 pounds, but mine flex enough at 20 pounds so there is no sense going any lower, it just takes longer to air up again.

On 285/75/16s, I would run 60 front, 70 rear.
The scratching sound is coming from a shard of glass somewhere in the window track from the window being broken before. Spray silicone in the track and use a screwdriver the entire length of the track to scrape out any embedded shards.

My windows make that sound when the lower, outer trim gets really dirty (which it does a lot around here with blowing alkali dust. Lower the window, then vacuum the trim while brushing it with a stiff nylon brush.

If you get the right kind of grit in there it will actually scratch the window.
I just brush the dirt away with my hand each time i roll down the window.
