2000 Grand Caravan. Looking to get a hitch put on, but in the meantime that thing is huge, especially since we moved the seats into the house.

2000 f350 4dr diesel dually
1984 intl 1900 dump
7x16 tandem axle trailer ( rarely use for scrap)
5x10 beater trailer with 4' sides
2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4.
I also have a Harbor Freight 4x8 trailer if needed, but haven't needed it yet. I use it to haul the dirt bikes, but could use it for scrap more than likely.

just sold my 1992 GMC vandura to my dad 1/2 or 3/4 ton not sure gutted only the 2 front seats remained . had it since 2007 never left me stranded needed it because i used to live in a bad neighborhood other scrappers would steal your scrap and i did not have a garage to park it in. I also just sold my 1987 mazda b2000 to my cousin and now he is scrapping with it burned a ****load of oil for the last 2 years i just took peoples old oil and kept putting it in those engines were built to last but zero power or torque try getting over 60 mph on the highway with a small load lol.I have a 2 year old daughter so the wife made me go out and get my first car payment ever so i bought a 2002 toyota tacoma extended cab with 92000 miles for 8thousand. runs great more power than the mazda but uncomfortable getting my daughter in and out of her carseat. and not as comfortable in the drivers seat compared to my old mazdas i scrap a lot of front and rear clips from my body shop accounts so i needed a 4 cylinder low to the ground with no sides on it. i have had it for a year and will keep it until the wheels fall off and then some. CHICAGO GAS PRICES USUALLY LEAD THE NATION so i knew a 4 cylinder was the best option for me and i have never not gotten the load i needed and when i need the big guns i call my dad he's got a 1 TON VAN AND MY OLD 3/4 TON VAN

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.

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
