What's this Thin Sheet Metal and Wavy Bed Rails you Speak Of?

[Morgan1986]

Man if someone did that I would have gone mad...

 

I really want to just put a bunch of pics on here of me standing on the side of my bed of my truck just to make alot of people go lol . Actually the only time I was pissed off when that happen was when my nephew jump up on the side of the bed . The reason was becuase I dont mind if its work that needs to be done and its alot nicer with some circumstance to walk on the side of the bed to get a job done but for a person to just jump up and down all over the truck annoys me.

I hate large groups of drunk people. They scare me and watching them they do the most stupid things like trying to punch out a window with their fists. Then there is always someone wanting to fight a random guy its gotten worst because every joker that is a little bigger and watches the UFC and than drinks alot drunk off his ass wants to pick random fights . I personal like the show a lot but some people just need to watch the Care Bears more lol. (crappy 90s cartoon about stupid bears that care) I personally would feel so lost on what to do if i saw a bunch of drunk kids all over my truck. I dont know if I would call the cops or be lost in anger and get the pike pole out ( a commercial fishing tool) or a machete out. (I dont know a gun)

I prefer machetes to guns, really; they're much quieter and less messy. Downside is you have to let the opposition get a little closer to your (defensible) space.

I argree the bed rails are weak. My 07 was really dented under the plastic rail covers and I hate my 2011 for a few days and noticed the drivers side rail had a dent from me stepping up on the tire and kneeling one knee on it to reach stuff in the back. Not even close to the strength of the old trucks. I want to put the diamond plate covers on but even with thick tape under them I didn't notice untill it was too late that on my 2000 chevy 1500 they had flexed and worn through the paint

[Morgan1986]

my 05 bed rail seems tough enough . Can jump up and down on it and nothing will happen .

[michigan2500hd]

My 05 had stronger bed metal then either of my GMT 900 trucks did..I think the 900's have wider rails thus even if they are the same gauge as the older trucks it makes them weaker if thy arnt re-inforced..IMO anyway

I see the waves everyone speaks of. Esp in my rearview. Almost like the body just is not straight. I can tell they skimped in the sheet metal dept.
