If I am driving with my dog and there is a crash, I better be the one to die, not him.

my pup rides in the bed unless its cold out or raining. Drove up and down the east coast like that, never had an issue. He's left a #2 going through a Ft. Rucker security gate before, so there was that one time I had to clean crap out of the bed of my truck.
I see nothing wrong with it.
I don't like it when He stands up on the bed rails so I tap the brakes gently and he gets down. At the end of the day (I hate saying it like this) but he's my dog, he loves riding in the back of the truck. When he's in the car he stands on the arm rest with half his body out the window. Regardless of in the car or back of the truck, his movement is limited so he cant jump out of the car or truck

Dogs are safer in the bed than the cab.

Would you rather have your dog thrown around inside the cab, hitting you and sheet metal, or thrown out the bed and hitting the ground once.

Also. I was told by firefighters that if they're told there was a dog in the bed, one of them goes and looks for it because 90% of the time, they're ok.

I know it's a bump, but it's a nice one and it's the right "pumpkin spice" color for the season.

You see the trim line down the side? Bumpsides are raised, the body line is a "bump". Dentsides body line is "dented" in but also can have the chrome trim over it. Regardless look at the body line that goes down the side of the truck, bumpsides are raised dentsides are pushed in

^^ What he said. 67-72 = Bump, 73-79 = Dent. One of the first things I learned on this site!

I saw this awesome while walking to pick up my lunch. Then as fate would have I saw it again as I was leaving work for the day. Got to talk briefly with the owner while he sat at the red light. It's a 78 F250 Ranger XLT. And came from Wyoming. He said he actually owns 3 dents. This truck was actually in pretty nice shape.

OK no, it's not a dent. Still a nice truck.

Then I went on a field trip to Redding.

If we're talking about beautiful bumps, here is my beautiful dent with a gorgeous blue bump I saw at Walmart.
