    Default qestions about new 08

    recently bought a 4 door short bed. how can i haul my atv (kawasaki prarie 700) AND have room for tool boxes. i bought 2 of the boxes sit on the bed rails from lowes (kobalt brand) but these are to wide, my 4 wheeler will not fit. an across the bed box is definetly out of the question, because my rear tires are resting on the tailgate now, i am open to suggestions.

    #2. is there a company that makes a flat bed for the 05+ trucks. i would prefer to have a flat bed but cant seem to find one i like. i would like to see pictures.

    thanks in advance

    All Pro has a flat bed kit, give them a call and see if it will work on a 4door taco

    If it won't fit in the bed, I guess your next option is a small ATV trailer. I know it's too late now, but the long bed might have been a better fit for you...

    i would liked to have had the long bed, but wanted the 6 speed worse. i have looked at the all pro bed but have heard that it is not really a complete kit, just a bunch of tube. is there any links/pics of 05+ with a flat bed?

    thanks

    I've seen one on the road. But I'm pretty sure it's a custom work.

    quite honestly i'd say go get yourself a small utility trailer. or you can even usually find a small camper that is a wreck that someone will give you. scrap the camper and just make a flatbed trailer. i have always been a fan of trailers anyways, why beat your truck up loading/unloading, when you can just throw something on a trailer?
