Yeah, I got a drop in plastic liner, and I hate the idea of cutting a hole in the bed. Just picky I guess. And I took the bed off so I could have easier access to re-fabricate my rear-mount turbo. I dont have a lift or a pit or ANYTHING to get under it, so the bed off will be wonderful for that!

That engine hoist makes bed removal a no-brainer. Wish I'd thought of that when doing my father's fuel pump a while ago.

I about pulled a cherry tree over on my truck using a branch as a hoist, lol. BAD IDEA. I just got 2 BIG boys to lift it off, made it look like they were lifting a little piece of plywood or something, lol. 1 minute and a Six pack later, I was set!
