No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I think that was in 2014, yeah. I get it honestly, they're much lighter and they won't rust. But the bed should always be steel in my opinion.
I think the problem is they try to make it the same thickness as the sheet metal from the steel bed. If they made it 1/4" thick like the aluminum side step plates on a Bobcat it wouldn't be a problem and it'd still probably be lighter.
