Yeah man, same story. Both sides bent up into the body on mine, and the right side is tweaked over to where I couldn't open my tailgate. My tailgate got jacked anyway so I just have to rip it open and it hella hits the bumper every time now. And the middle under the receiver is bent up so I can't lower the tailgate all the way without hitting the bumper like 5 inches before it lays flat.
WOw ya thats bad mine hasn't got to that point yet. and hopefully it doesn't soon couse that would piss me off. sounds like its time for marlin to beef up the tubing.
