I need a job before...
Maybe they call it jobbing... a soft "j"
Its a new phenomenon, really. I don't know what the fuss is all about.
I just had a WOW! moment a second ago. No, not "World of Warcraft" but a holy crap I could have killed someone.
Against better judgment, I used a bit of rope (thanks Mike) to pull down what was left of rotting tree. It came down in sections, but the last bit, about 2ft left out of the ground still needed to come out. So I backed up and put the rope back on it and gave another tug. First bit of tension didnt do anything so I gave another go to yank it. Well, the rope had enough kinetic energy to break the tree off at ground level and hurl it at the back of the truck!
Lesson learned.
The bit of the tree...
The damage....
Luckily, I had the back window down. But the impact broke the fiberglass and the window will not return to the full up position. :smilies27
So, I will never do that again, and I am DAMN glad no one was around the vehicle!

broken... its British" or "... "its Kustom, fool! Don't hate!"
It's not broke......
Just "persuade" the upper window rail back into shape with something blunt. (like a big flat blade screwdriver.) GO SLOWLY!!!!
In regards to the fiberglass......If it doesn't leak, don't worry about it. You'll probably crack it again doing something else crazy......:Wow1:

Now someone is talking! If only they didnt cost so bloody much! But, they do have the load capacity that would be ideal! I like the idea of being able to roll up the sides and still have overhead weather protection for the cargo area.... Plus they look awesome. One day.
