    On your '08? If so, there isn't anything under the plastic besides the ground. The plastic is the bed.

    I was wondering when they made the switch to composite beds.

    So it would be pointless?

    That was probably a pretty stupid question

    My wife keeps pressing me to sell our home and move up in the lakes region of NH.
    Soon enough I hope . Beautiful there and hundreds of places to kayak and fish and to just simply enjoy

    There's no stupid question. Ask if you don't know. That's how we all learn. The plastic bed is a tub that the quarter panels hang off of. The plastic is mounted to the frame with those bolts seen in the bed. Lifting the bed (plastic) will just expose the frame. For rust control on the rear frame section, you can get at it from under the truck. No need to remove the bed.

    I would in a second if I could. I’d have a tough time convincing my wife to leave her family. Being close to her family is important and I don’t think she would consider being even a few hours away. Despite the fact that she’s in awe every time we’re up in northern NH...

    What are some good places/towns to explore up there. Might be a good region for a quick 2-3 day trip this spring/summer.

    Countless places. Hiking the presidentials. Great views everywhere.

    There’s the flume gorge, pretty sweet hike around a bunch of waterfalls with some good history; costs money though and is full of tourists. I’d reccomend it personally. https://www.nhstateparks.org/visit/park-sites/flume-gorge

    Lincoln is a cool town to check out; right off 93, where Loon is located. Bunch of good restaurants but again gets touristy. Has a couple adventure ropes parks and stuff if your into that. If you head east out of Lincoln you hit the kancamagus highway. Amazing drive, and plenty of great hiking.

    And Mount Washington, of course.

    I’m sure I haven’t even scraped the surface.

    I had to actually think where reverse sits in the Vette. Each 6MT I've owned has had reverse in a different spot. The only one I haven't had is reverse next to 2nd. I think I liked the Subaru the most. It was next to 6th with a lift up collar to open the gate. I drove a Sentra SE-R Spec-V years ago that had reverse next to 6th without a very positive lock-out and I was petrified of going into reverse at speed.

    Did a thing yesterday, bought my first Benchmade knife... It'll be my EDC on the job site. I've kept my last old Gerber for almost 15 years and it's taken a beating, time to replace it. Should be here in a few days. I keep hearing about their quality, hopefully they live up to the hyp.
