New bed
In an attempt to resurrect my 91 2wd (trying to make it clean!) I just put another rather large dent in the bed. Both sides are messed up! And not to mention someone put a HUGE load and bent the back of the bed down.
Anyway, I was also thinking about (I know) lowering my truck. There is NO need to lift my truck, and I would think it would look really cool lowered.
Anyway, would it be better to buy a used bed (different color) then paint it? Or just buy some fiberglass bedsides and be around the same price? And it would probably tuck the wheels in better too?
Thanks, Trevor

I'd say go find some 4x4 front fenders and a 4x4 bed so you can tuck more tire underneath. Then get the rig painted something sick like a factory Toyota Royal Blue. After that you can go ahead and regear the back end with some 4.88's, drop in an Aussie and tuck some 40 series street slicks under the sheet metal (dont forget to tub the bed). Lower it till it won't go over a speed bump without dragging and cruise the strip racing mustangs..... You'll be a GOD!!!!
(I'm mildly serious about all of that except the God thing)
And hey if it gets stuck on a roll of quarters dropped in the street you always have the 4x4 to get it unstuck.

low rider in Oregon??
i don't know the condition of the streets in Salem, but over on the coast a low rider would get stuck on its frame in almost every intersection lol..
better get some hydros to so you can unstick your self from speed bumps
