 Subject: Wussy truck bed
IP: Logged
Message:
I carry motorcycles a lot. Now the front of the bed is bent and hitting the cab!!!
What cheap crap!
Is there any way to reinforce the front of the bed? I dont want to mount chocks in the bed because I never know what or how many i will be loading.

Haha I did that on my last truck so I quit riding them into the box. Now I just push them in and strap it cross ways with the front tire in the drivers corner of the box.

Thats fine if you only carry one bike. I tend to carry at least one bike along with my track box, tool box, canopy, cooler, spares, air tank, lawn chairs and THEN I sometimes stuff another bike in also.

cut a piece of plywood (1/2 or 3/4") and put it in front of the bed to protect it.

mine was bent too when i got the truck, so i milled down a piece of angle iron and fit that to the top, then screwed it to the bed, and painted it all black to match my truck, it doesnt look bad and cant notice it unless you get up close and see the screws

Get a nice piece of chromed checkerplate cut the same size as the front and if you like, have it rolled at the top so it protects and reinforces the front of the box. I had one on my last truck and never bent it (4-wheeler, motocross, lawnmower etc)
Cheers!
