Must have bought rockmagnet edition !

I've owned my f250 for 12 years and only had two Rock chips.
Had tundra for 6 months and so far had 6 rock chips fixed .
Till tuesday that is.
Heading home from work it was a nice sun shining day.
About 10 drops of rain hit the windshield.
Then I saw it.
A softball size piece of hail falling from heaven above .
Like a beacon that God hates my truck .
It bounced off road and busted my windshield .
Didn't even bust the hail.
It bounced off my truck and hit the guy behind me .
Didn't rain or hail a drop after that.
I mean really what the hell.
I had a new windshield installed yesterday .
But drove the old 2002 f250 today.
I just can't stomach my tundra having anything else happen to it for a while.

 

Sorry to hear/see the damage.

Even mother nature is jealous of how good looking our trucks are!

 

Getting hit by one big hail stone truly sucks.

 

Hail really sucks on a motorcycle!

 

That really sucks.

 

Mother nature drives a broke down chevy

 

That crack from the hail stone was just praying for some freezing weather to go full spider....

 

and bees, hornets, cicadas, grasshoppers, lit cigarettes, etc...

 

We've got a heat advisory for next two weeks . 100 deg.
And I get hit with the only piece of hail in Texas

 

Sorry about your truck that really sucks. Also sorry for laughing out loud as I read most of that story, picturing you watching this hail beacon coming at your truck with an angry cartoon face on it.

 

The day I drove my 'new' Tundra home, a rock smashed into the windshield.. I just shook my head and prayed it wasn't a sign. lol

 

Mine got hit in the windshield on the way home from the dealership.

 

I'd gladly accept that hitting the windshield over a hood, roof or other body panel.

 

The sound of gravel pinging off any panel of my baby makes me wince.

 

It's ok to laugh.
Hell at this point that's all I can do.

 

That blows OP! Hate to hear/see it happen!

 

....and locust swarms......

 

Lucky you.....dang...

 

The first dent or chip hurts

 

I'll be glad when they get done working on IH 10 going through beaumont tx .
That's where I got rock chips from.
Had 6 fixed in last six months . Then hail finally did it in .

 

Driving back from lunch today and watched the rock fly out from under the tires of the Jeep ahead of me, go over the Honda Fit, curve to the right and *tink*. Thanks for the bad luck Tigwelder!...

I have 2500 miles on my truck and already have a chip.

 

That’s totally F&CKED UP !!
Sorry too hear about ur troubles

I’m the IDIOT that took my week old 18’ to the local dirt track race- all was fine parked @ the exit of turn 4 - until the ran a figure 8 race “ backwards “ and my truck got sprayed with dirt clumps- ONE that had a ROCK that gave me my first dent/ scratch !!!

2 weeks later is was loading my Utility ATV
Ramp slipped out and frame rails dented tail gate in two spots- luckily it was under plastic topper- removed topper - banged out with 2x4 and hammers- reinstall topper - no one knows but me - LUCKY

I feel ur PAIN !!

 

I sympathize, took a big rock to the windshield don the way to coast 2 weeks ago. Add to the pain my daughter got hit last week.

Still not as bad as when I owned a jeep. Because of the angle of the windshield nothing bounced off so I was replacing the windshield at least once a year if not twice. It was so bad I got a nice little chip on the way home form the dealer that day I bought it.

 

Funny parallel....I had a F250 too, drove it all the time, and no rocks. Got the Tundra in March, and a rock hit the windshield last month.
How did your windshield replacement experience go? I've heard that it can cost $1k because of the TSS camera in the windshield.....and you might have to go to the dealer to get it recalibrated after install. Did you find any of that to be true??

 

Battle scars!

 

I have had two windshield repairs and two replacements on the 2.5 years I have owned my 17 Tundra.

 

Not sure of cost.
Insurance paid .
My part was $100
But I have paperwork in truck .I'll have to look and see if total cost is on it.
And being from Texas I've never heard of windshield warmers .
I told glass place I didn't have that on my truck .
Guess what . I did .
I didn't want to wait for a nother glass to be ordered so I had them install the one with out warmer.
Don't think I'll have much problems with ice.
