Plus with the shell on, people can't throw crap in the back of your truck.
I like it too but once I had it off the truck I realized that I had nowhere to store my 2 spare tires, Hilift jack, my emergancy backpack and all the other spare parts I carry. So I had to put it back on or I would have been picked apart by the vultures. I had to take everything out if I didn't want to chance losing something by some punk with sticky fingers.
Not true. Everywhere you go there will be someone who will see your truck with your 1 or 2 pop cans in the bed and figure, well, that's a garbage can and swish it in. Sometimes I don't mind, but sometimes it makes me so mad! It happened at my technical college parking lot. Same place where my Subaru was a victim of a parking lot hit & run. Bastids.
ouch.... what happened?
During my trip out to Johnson Valley I had a little run-in with a large ledge and lost. The sucker was above my bumper but there was this little notch that if I hit it just right I could once again skirt through without knocking in my fenders. Well not only did I miss the notch but ran head on into the ledge. It bent my bumper into the fender and valance, so I had to bend it back to even drive it without rubbing. So today, my 1st day off since the incident I decided to finally eliminate that issue, yup you guessed it I broke out the saw and whacked that sucker off at the bottom. My poor virgin truck has now gone under the knife and is no longer of stock body, next to go will be the rear section on the bed but for now here's some before and after pics.All I did was take a sheet of paper to get a straight line, marked it off where I wanted to cut and ten minutes later viola.
