    It's been done, but on a composite bed, I'm still not sure why.

    And if you insist, at least use something good, like monstaliner or Line-x

    Everyone throwing out bigger motor options as if they didn't realize they were buying a midsize truck. LOL! Being happy that I used my brain and bought a truck that actually suited my needs my most important mod for myself would be undercoat the frame so it's still there in 2 years! NE Ohio goes down as my least favorite place in the world

    Unless you are a midget or have no neck the @ImMrYo rear view mirror riser is the best 2nd gen. mod. My all time favorite followed by the Flippac camper.
