Contact me before ordering a replacement bed. I was very disapointed in mine and may be able to share some pit falls before you order one. Tim w4yn@arrl.net

If you have some good or bad info to share about a product, tell us. Don't keep it a secret, or tell people to email you to find out.
What company did you buy it from?

It's a subject I'm interested in too. I bought some canadian style bedsides for my '84 p/u that were pretty cheesy. But they were cheap from an individual on ebay so I can't tell who the original supplier was. Still got to figure out what to do with them. -- Matt

OK I hate flaming but here is info, Precision 4x4 in BC Some of the high lights Poor quality, lots of voids, raw fiberglass on one rail and front of bed that had to filled Inadequate crating, damage in shipment, bed not secure in crate, crate flimsy and came apart in shipping. Gas filler opening was cut too large(1" in one area) had to fab a custim door to match opening. No material to screw taillight mounting screws into, had been trimmed away. Over all it was a very unprofessional job that cost a lot of $ to buy and then pay some one to fix.javascript:void(0) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> Would like to here from someone who purchased bed in US as a comparison.

That really sucks. We have a member here "CJM" who owns (or works there?) Precision 4x4/Toyotafiberglass.com Have you contacted him? What did he say? From what he posts on the board, it looks like he does really good work.

When I called about shipping damage all I got was call shipper, shipper says poor crate no can cover. The rest I figured was useless I had so I fixed it, could not afford to send it back. Kept finding stuff wrong as it got painted. Not having material to mount taillight screws into was last straw, right after I found gas filler opening was cut too big!

Wow - I find this very surprising... I've never heard a single complaint about CJM's products.
Brian K. Gallus I have nothing important to say.

Take a look at these guys. http://www.bgfiberglassusa.com/ I don't have first hand experience with their product. I would like to hear if anyone else does. Unlike the canadian brands, they make USA style beds. -- Matt
