Here is another issue that I just noticed over the weekend inside the drivers side stake pocket. The bottom portion that attaches to the side panel has pulled away from the metal. From the top or sighting down the bed rail it does does not look bent or tweaked upward. Maybe someone put something in the stake pocket and popped the spot weld lose by accident.

Anyways I thought I would give it a shot at using a 2x4 and bottle jack to see if it would snug up to the panel and it did. So next will be to release the pressure off of the bottle jack and prep the metal area for welding. I think I might drill a few holes so that I can spot weld in the holes and have it attach to the side panel. After that is done I will eventually get some of the areas in the bottom of the bed cleaned up for Raptor liner.
