ADD where I see something cool and just long enough to do something totally stupid I completely forget what I am doing. I took out a mirror on my truck doing that last weekend... It went like this got in the truck started backing out oft he garage when I saw my coffee cup and thought why did I leave that there and opened the door to move my mug ( going in reverse ) when I heard CRUNCH. Fortunately I found it funny and started laughing right away.
If you can't laugh at yourself your going to be really upset when everyone else does. And if someone tells you they never made a mistake their a liar. I laugh at my mistakes all the time.
Nice rack!........... Seriously though, ya can't beat having that extra protection. Im always careful tossing rounds or splits into the bed but somehow there's one or two that always take an extra hop right towards that dang window! The 04 ram i have now is the newest/nicest truck i've owned and it's already got a few "wood related" dents. My dad added the last one on the top rear corner of the bed. He forgot who's truck we were loading and tossed a split right into the bed side. He's got a beat up utility body on his truck and just throws things towards it and if they make it in, great. If not, just another dent.
I have a buddy that thinks my headache rack is a target and he don't know his own strength. He does it to his own equipment also, not that it makes it any better but.....
I should invest in one of those. Broke two windows out my old truck not for firewood but I am very cautious with throwing wood in the back.
The way I see this is, sooner or later the enevitable is going to happen…. and I almost did it again!
