BTW, one of the best investments I ever made was to install a dump
kit on my pickup. When installed, it raised the bed 1/8", which
wasn't noticable. However, I could hit a button and the bed would
tilt 50degrees to dump out rock, wood, debris or dirt when I
hauled it. The kit was installed just a MONTH before Hurricane
Fan hit Raleigh, and believe me, after hauling over 100 loads of
debris and tree trunks to the dump, even Mrs. Nonny thought my
investment had paid off.


I looked into those when I got my truck and found that the Tundra has
a custom shaped bed which would prevent the use of a dump bed kit.
Interference fits and all that, unless I moved the bed back a couple
inches, making the truck look awfully funny. The dump bed setups which
fit into the bed are ghastly expensive at $3.5k.


You'd think a dump bed would be something the manufacturers could design right into the
truck and offer as a factory option; I'd bet they'd sell a ton of trucks that way.

the difference between the meanings of the words "to" and "too"?
