    Thanks!

    Mostly landscaping things...pallets of rock, plants, etc. Comes in handy hauling 10-12ft 4x4s, 2x6s, etc as well. Just lean them on the headache rack and tie them down.

    Reason for the bed was the previous owner damaged the original bed by backing into something. The bed and the wheels are probably my favorite things about it. Wheels are 17" 3 piece SSR wheels I imported, then had a shop refinish them for me. They had corrosion from being in Japan.

    Thanks!

    I appreciate it!

    Thanks! I am a Toyota MR2 guy too. I have owned 8 of them over the years. The wheels are kind of a tribute to the MR2s since I don't have one of them anymore. The JDM 3 piece wheels are a hit with the MR2 crowd.
