The new bedwood is in & looks ok, but I am disappointed in the quality of the new parts which I bought most from LMC & a few from Carpenter.

Looks good :thup: I know you glad you got that over with. Now, don't forget to get you a cheap piece of OSB to cover it when you haul something

I needed to transport my lawnmower today,but hated to scratch up my new bedwood. I went down to tractor supply & bought an eight foot piece of heavy rubber off a roll. It did the trick. I'll probably remove it when not needed. I'm not sure what would happen if I let it sit in the bed with water under it.

That's a great idea! A lot easier to handle than a sheet of plywood.
