    I love it when guys (and some gals) start talking about their trucks. It's like a weird English dialect. I understand parts of it, but I have no idea what they're saying...

    Well, I took in my first load of shred with it today, and it has already suffered it's first battle scar. As I was sliding a treadmill off the back, it decided it was going to pull some kind of crazy acrobatic flip and rammed one of it's legs into the tailgate. Great... It left a dent and scratch that is pretty big. Oh well, it was going to happen eventually, but it sucks that it happened on the first week! Anyway, I stuffed in around 900 LBS of tin into the bed. I'm happy I got the long bed, the hauling capacity is awesome!



    What a beautiful scratch, Flimits is going to kill me! :P

    It has a plastic bed liner on the inside that's practically brand new. I don't think you can rhino line a tailgate.

    Your truck lost it's cherry. Now it has character!

    Remember, it's not a scratch/dent..it's character.

    Up here, any nick, scratch, chip, gouge, or flake is killer! Liyerally...Well...the beginning of a painfully slow death anyways. Unless caught and fixed early, The road salt immediately starts eating the body. My truck I just got, had it two weeks and iv already found rust that just started. Some on the pinch welds and right front fender. Time to wrench.

    My old truck was a long box. Was saweeet for hauling shop scrap and curb shopping. Good thing about tailgates is they are real common and easy to replace!
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    Jord you forget tho...your up there in the great white north. Gravi is in Texas...only has to worry about salt air if on a coast.

    An it's got character, not a scratch!

    Sirscrapalot - My minivan has more character then a Monty Python skit.
