Pockets in bed above wheel wells?

Looked in the owners manual and do not see what these are for? Looks like a 2x4 could be spanned across them for something? thanks

 

Maybe a 2x4 with a piece of plywood on top of it. Kinda like a shelf.

 

I was going to put lights in mine since i see no use either for them

 

I assumed they were for a 2x4 to support a wider load (like a sheet of plywood/drywall) that wouldn't fit between the wells, but I don't know for sure.

 

Just open storage bins.

 

thansk guys! DOT lights? Great idea!!

 

If you are talking about the 2 pockets directly above the wheel wells , they are exactly that , pockets .

If you are talking about the approx 1"x8" depressions in the bedsides just ahead and behind the wheel well , you are correct that a 2x6 can be cut and placed in them . This is useful when hauling sheet goods .

 

They make it super easy to pop out and clean the fender from behind, life saver in our rust environment here.

 

I keep tie downs in there. I have a cover so nobody can see them otherwise the pockets are about useless.

 

from what i've read, those pockets when removed are the holes for the robots at the factory to hold onto the bed for moving them around. they just insert the cubby's to fill in the holes after wards. i opted to utilize these to mount some $20.00 walmart foglights as bedlights. quick, easy, and functional.

 

I vote for lights....

 

these are the pockets I am referring to

 

its so that you can remove/insert the composite bed.

 

Those are just cargo pockets , but you see the depression in the bedside to the right of the pocket in your picture ? This is where you can put a 2x6 side to side .

 

i have a friend who put airbags on her X, the only way they were able to lift the super heavy bed was through those pockets.

 

What are you guys talking about!!! Its for 4" Bed speakers so you can jam out at Tailgate parties!!! GEEEZZZ!!!

 

Thanks OZ-T. never notice that. that would give you more support if loading sheetrock on top of the wheel wells!!

 

^^ that's what i'm talking about! those speakers look good. way better than my cheapies

 

DISCO BED!!!
