At least that's what I read, the cargo windows are the common ones that get broken into because of stuff that people store back there.

Either that or they're going to see it there and think there's something worth getting so they break one of the other 7 windows.

mount it securely and you can also use it to attach stuff like tow straps, shovel, axe, backpack, camping supplies... you get the point

Other windows are easier to replace.

That's strange. I feel completely opposite. I find that those are the two easiest windows to replace.

Either way, I'm sure you're happy with it.

I don't know how to replace windows with molding all around it. Like the cargo windows and the windshield.

I know how to take off door panels and replace windows.

Yes I'm deliriously happy with them

I usually have tons of crap in my cargo area. Its my work truck. Tool boxes, ammo cans, first aid kit, and other random things depending on the day. If I go out to the badlands or any other park I clean it out, but during the week it is full of crap for work. If it rained that day....on my way home I am hitting the trails and mud pits, not stopping home to empty it out.

I pulled it from a border patrol Cherokee. Was on my way back from San Diego and from the freeway saw a fenced in area full of Cherokees just south of phoenix Arizona. I stopped in there to talk to the guys at the building in front of it. They said they are being auctioned off the following Tuesday. Asked if I can poke around back there and they said go for it. I asked about the cargo cage, shotgun dash mount, and both front spot lights, same as cop car but on both sides, they said take them. So I did.
