    My brother ran into my 04 bedside in September. Body shop had it fixed in October and I noticed a bit of deformation behind the passenger taillight. Didn’t think much of it.

    I’ve been using the bed frequently this month since I’m moving and heard a crack the other day when unloading a heavy box. Looks like it’s cracking/bending under light loads. It won’t shut unless you force the tailgate forward back into place. Doubt the body shop will give a damn but USAA just might? It’s not like I’m loading 800 pound dirt bikes in the bed.

    Crazy to hear what's happening on the east coast. I've been keeping an eye on our gas stations when driving by but they appear to be business as usual...no lines or people filling up jerry cans (or trash bags, seriously wtf)

    Prices keep going up though, station I normally fill up at is at $4.25/g now for 91. Fun fun

    not surprised, even the smallest amount of flex on these beds keeps the tail gate from closing. After I installed my Avid bed rack (just two cross bars and a basket), even without the RTT on my tailgate wouldn't close unless I closed it with the handle pulled up.

    Course that's not an issue anymore now that my tailgate lives on the side of our house

    As for the unfixed damage though I would see what USAA says, that's what we pay them for anyway

    $4.70 in Oakland for 91, lol. It’s actually cheaper in San Francisco for some odd reason. It’s always been.

    depends on where u live. I had none in queen creek growing up, but buddy 5 houses down the street killed a canful of them each weekend with a black light in his backyard.


    There was one dead in our condo when i was painting prior to moving in, but the gf made me spray up and down for them. Bout that time to go back and spray for the bugs and scorpions again now that i think bout it

    Yeah I have to go around our house every couple weeks starting about this time of year and spray for spiders, little fuckers camp out all around the base of the house. Last thing I need is our daughter to wander into a black widow web
