    sawzawled the corner of my $17 highsides to fit this window guard i found in a dumpster, stoked

    only problem is it wont stay in place without the high sides, need to figure thazt one out :/
    also want to chop the top 6 inches off then dot weld it back onto a flat bar of 1/4in steel to lower wind resistance. get it under the cab light.

    high sides are lighter than any cage ive ever seen on anyones truck AND can be removed in seconds, holllla
    window guard is ****ing heavy, like 50lbs heavy, lame.

    load from the other day, 1/2ton of heavy iron and some tin, they gave me 80/20


    i forgot to grab a stove + more from my neighbors that morning, had the tailgate saved and all, :/
    highest paying yard in the bay only 1/4mi away, too
    tin at $60/ton and iron at $120/ton

    headache rack?

    how would i attach this to my truck?
    I imagine I could place those little hooks that people screw into the sides of their bed and then tie-wire it to the headache rack - gheeeetttttoooo, haha
    BUT I recall hearing if you drill screws into your cab, they will leak
    It would be awesome if I could have it be easily removeable so i could loose 50lbs if im doing a week of commuting or a long roadtrip
    hmmmm....

    Id also like to saw it off 6inches. to a height below the height of the cab. then weld back on a flatbar up there
    I figure that those six inches sticking out probably add a lot of wind resistance, loss in fuel economy
