REMOVING THE BED (1 of 2)
So I bit the bullet and took the bed off yesterday, solo.
The eight holddown bolts came out cleanly, no spinners. I had a couple of minor load shifts on the way up, but by moving slowly and checking constantly, I got there safely. It took me about six hours for the lift. This job was a freebie, I had everything on hand.
*Things to watch for: slide the bed back a bit before lifting to avoid hitting the cab;
load distribution and balance.
