Bed side... or no bed side??

Title says it all should I roll with bed sides or not? Just got this thing bolted on today, I'm liking it.

Looks sharp with the bed sides to me.

I like how the bed sides are the exact same height as the door, so it matches that body line, but for some reason I am torn between the two haha. My sister votes no bed sides, my co worker says bed sides ..... I may just have to switch out every week haha also thinking about doing step down sides. Like.. full height for a third, then half height for a third, and then no bed side for a third.... I think that would look kinda slick.

With the bed sides, and MUD.. Let everyone know she is not show queen.

Why not just run a side on the left? Leaving the right off gives you a little better visibility looking over the shoulder. Tell your sister to view the right side and coworker to view the left. Everybody happy and improved rearward visibility. Genius I say.

I like the sides all around- just looks better to me.

Sweet bobber. Id keep the the bed sides!

I always liked bobbers with sides, bows, and cover on the 105 bed. Either that or nothing at all. Polar opposites I know.

I like the looks with the sides.

I ran it around this weekend at a local mud event, with no bed sides, had fun ... other than while I was running over a chevy 1500 I screwed up my steering somehow...if I turn right when I come back to center, the wheel... I dunno hits a tight spot???/ and wont turn any further


so at risk of derailing my own thread any ideas??

The steering boxes are kind of the weak point in the system so I suspect you may have a problem there. I'd get it fixed ASAP as a failure isn't something you'd want while going down the hwy.

I hear ya! I think I might just save up for a new box, and a hydro assist system, ... that would also be a good time to do my long awaited four wheel steering job too, I just cant bring myself QUITE yet to pay for a pimped out rear end with air locker and hydro steering and lockout tabs.
