    $40 and 2 hours to hopefully avoid any costly throwing errors.

    I am about athletic as I am good looking. Take no chances, ya know. The old Ford has been hauling for me for 5 years now, and I use it like a truck.

    I've had logs go through the rear glass twice. I've always been careful, but both times was when a friends were helping load in the truck and were just tossing logs in. You can't have too much protection!

    Thats a good idea. I don't know where Murphy was when I was loading my truck so many times, I have bounced
    a few splits off my back window, luckily nothing cracked (as I knock on wood)

    "You can't have too much protection!"... That's right !!! :BrianK:

    Always wear chaps when chuckin' wood into a truck without a headboard... it won't hurt as bad when it goes whippin' through the back window, and your wife kicks you in the shins... :whistle:

    A Ford F150 rear window is $550. I use a board for protection now.

    Nice looking rack Craig :)

    Very nice. My rear window and driver side mirror have taken a hit. Both on different trucks. Great job on the headache rack.
