well my window in the rear.. busted.. done.. spidered... my bed got bent and during rebending the bed... the window busted even though no one touched it.







this is what cause the bed to bend... 800lbs of rubber mulch

That sucks.
On the brite side you can replace it with a slider.

SwaintaN

yeah hes coming today to install a new window... it was only 35.00 more to get a slider window. or 3 piece is how they say it..

A prime example of why it is important to tie down any load properly. Even a very heavy load can move.

Be glad it was just a bent box and broken window and not an emergency stop that put the load onto the cab and injured someone.

Strap your loads people!

SwaintaN

yeah in retrospect i wish i would have strapped it.. and previous owner wouldnt have done plastic bed liner.. after i get the phaser problem under control i think ill rhinoline the bed so no more plastic cover.

Id rather be able to easily slide things in my bed and tie down when necessary than things not slide in my bed, but that's just me. No reason to blame the PO for this, just remember to tie down the load next time. Are you getting the bed fixed or just the glass?

i've seen spray in bed liners that stuff slid relatively easy and ones where it didn't (sometimes they appeared to be the same brand). I'm no expert but I believe they can build it up in a way that is more or less textured. the linex in my wife's truck doesn't offer much resistance to stuff sliding in or out.

sorry your window blew out man.

No blame assessed. I just thought it was a good reminder as too many people figure things won't move for whatever reason (too heavy, not going far, not driving fast, etc).

I'm just glad no one was hurt. A window can be replaced, a passenger or driver cannot.

I would have done the same thing as you if not going too far. Everyone does it. Luckily your lil person in the back was either not there or not hurt.

SwaintaN

Yea I wasn't going far at all. So Noone was hurt but the bed. I git the need bent back as much as I could for now. They came and put in a slider yesterday. I don't want rhinoliner but the other brand... Can't think of name but it is has more grip. We all learn.

But I did pick up need extender. And looking for roll bar.
