Grizzly thru the window

I wonder if I'm the only one that has ran their atv into the back window. I loaded the grizzly into the bed today instead of the trailer because of the terrain I was going to. I wanted to go out bow hunting, and well I slid the quad into the back window. Broke the glass on either side of the slider. Holy pissed off Batman!! When I had my Silverado I made a C- channel brace that went into the front stake pockets. It had a welded loop in the center to winch up into the bed if it was slippery. It worked really well and kept the quad out of the rear window. I wish the Taco had stake pockets. The window man quoted me 235 for a 1 piece rear window. 285 for a slider. Im going 1 piece since I never used the slider, honestly, for a year.

 

Fab up something that bolts to the bed rail at the front of the bed and partially down the side rails.

 

That is definitely something I will be working on in the near future. I will be getting something happening soon.

 

Haha I thought you were going to say you hit a grizzly and it went through your windshield!

 

Well, that was clickbait....

 

You are far from the first....

 

This.

 

Look under the plastic caps

Watch this and you will feel better

 

Yes this is good

 

YouTube is loaded with these kinds of accidents. You are certainly not the first. Might not make you feel better, but many have done it before you!

...and some quite spectacularly!

Good luck!

 

Damn!! Amazed that his window didn't break...I wonder how drunk he was when he did that and if he remembered...

@At The Helm Makes great products

I run the bed reinforcement brackets

Excellent quality​

 

I was pissed because I seen that video and others for a laugh several months ago. My friend showed it to me when I told him I was going riding soon. Oh well I didn't learn until I did it myself. I was looking at the front rail system from at the helm. It's definitely a great product and would be a solid fit. The only thing that I see wouldn't work for me is the grizz sits higher than the bed rail. And the bumper would hit the window well before the rail system would hit the tires. But I am working on something that would be a good fix.

 

A friend's fiancee borrowed his boat without asking. It was a Ski Nautique. She had never trailered the boat herself before. She and the ladies had a great day on the lake.

At the end of the day, the trailer was in the water and she was ready to load the boat. To this day we don't know how she did it... She launched the boat through the back window and gate of his Suburban.

Yes, he still married her.

 

She must do that thing he likes...

 

If not, I'm sure she did after that!

 

3rd Gen owners.

 

Well she probably knocked all of her teeth out landing the boat like that soooo...
