I know this is on a 6.4 but I think a lot of you guys like me never go to the super duty forum so here it is.
Well Friday I did I was on the way back from a Dirt Bike riding trip with some friends we were just a cruzin down the road when I heard this snap then the whole truck moved then a CRACKKKKKKKKKKKK SHADDERRRRR I thought I had just got rear ended when I look back and see a dirt bike handle bar in the truck One of the fricken bike straps broke and sent the bike flying threw the back window Just what I needed so we tried to tape it up best we could and it my surprise it help the rest of the 50 miles home. So now come the main Question. Who here has a Half Rack / Headache rack. What kinds are out there? Does any one have any pics with them on there truck?









Thanks
Nick

 

i have a ranch hand headache rack on love it its black with the black bed rails looks pretty good on my truck but its all black as well i dont have my camera or i would go and take some pics for ya

 

I shot mine out with a 12 ga shotgun.. and I had a minority bust out my slider the weds. before Christmas cuz he really wanted my GPS.. i'm hard on back glasses.

 

ROFL, that shoot the window out with a 12 ga story never gets old.

 

Was the minority still inside when you shot out the back glass???LOL

That just sux Nick! Get some expanded metal and some 1 1/2 square tubing and make one.Not that bad to build one.

Broke out a few myself,lol.(not with a shot gun)

 

I did it, i put a roll bar for my toyota in the bed of my ford, and at the first stop sign i stoped at the roll bar went right through the fords back window...kept on driving there was nothing i could do...i had the full back pice, but now i have a tinted slider!!! nice excuse to upgrade!

Note to self, secure load in bed!!!

 

there is a pic of my headache rack in my album on my profile i cant post pics on here for some reason

 

My dad has a back rack on his truck and he loves it. He mounted his cb antennas to it as well

 

Nick, just get some extra straps. Why did your strap break?

 

Haven't broken it yet, but came close on two trucks, which is why a headache rack sounds like a good idea. My current one has two good scratches from an aluminum pipe that flew into it during a hard stop. The truck before had a softball sized rock bounce off it it. I thought the girl who tossed it in the bed was gonna cry when it hit.

 

I broke mine with the ladder on my 5th wheel, turned too dang sharp
Luckily I have a buddy who is the manager of a local glass shop

 

upgrade? i would gladly trade someone my slidin back glass for a one piece

 

Same thing i was thinking.... Nick did you have a block of wood or something inbetween the front tire and fender? The forks may have been compressing and springing back putting alot of strain on the strap... That and not running a support in there is hard on your seals

 

I had a motor in the bed of my truck, as soon as I get on the freeway I have to slow down and hear a tick.... Ask my buddy "did you tie down that motor good?" Then the next tick followed with glass all over the seat. It wasn't even that loud. I had to be at work the next morning and took my dads truck and when I got home my dad had taken my truck to have the glass replaced. Thanks dad.

So you guys want to trade a sliding glass for a regular one?

 

No I do have a support block in there.
