Thanks for the compliment. As far as the use goes it really started with a joke and escalated from there back when Phil still owned the truck. I do like the fact that when my 4runner was cut like this I never had gas cans or fire wood inside the truck. I could carry a fullsize barbeque. Parts from the wreckers and not get hit in the back of the head with stuff on the trail. Not that I dont tie things down but small stuff is harder. A few times I've had a small item make it from the back to the windshield <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Or that time I was going up this little hill and all my stuff up front hit the back window. I had to get out and kiss the ground after that one. I dont care for a load of fire wood to the back of the head. Besides I lost well over a 100lbs of weight and thats great. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

Think of it as a roof rack without the wind resistance.
