I took some pictures of the truck bed this afternoon. ..they kind of suck because of the rain today.

Because of the installation of the tail roller that really messes with the shape of the back of bed. I need to lay some metal up on the side of the bed to see how it will shape up.
I need to look at my options also for something at the front of the toolboxes.
I figured mileage the other day, 9.7 mpg. That sucks! That all empty and unloaded for the entire time. I did some hauling, mixed between on the truck and using the trailer. And running pretty hard. Came out around 7ish. As crazy as it seems, being loaded really doesn't hurt the mpg all that much.
