I love my truck and have been extremely happy with it. Not my 1st 4x4. I enjoy 4wheelin quite often. This past weekend with a little articulation and a bit of frame flex I managed to dent the cab with the bed on the passenger side where the bed and cab meet. The top of the bed creased the underside of the rear window overhang. When this happened I was crawling down into a creek bottom through a few offset holes. Nothing I consider extreme by any means. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and If not than take warning. Again I enjoy every aspect of my truck but this is definatly a limitation that I had not expected.

Dont worry you arent the only one with the offroad dimples. Ive got em on my truck and i know several others that have em.

 

Take a look at the photos here, no cab strikes after. But it was fun trying http://homepages.msn.com/YosemiteDr/dirtplay/index.html

 

Vryxtreme, I have exactly the same marks from offroading also. The first few time I went offroading, you can see it coming so close to touching, and the last time I went out, contact was made. If it wasn't for that rear window overhang, there wouldn't be a problem. The only way to solve this problem, is to get one of those aftermarket suspensions, with really good suspension articulation.
