I still didn't go out.
Long hot day, my wife cooking supper and smelled too good to leave the house. If I haven't noticed it in two years then it isn't a big deal.

The fix is simple. Loosen the T500 (or whatever they are) torx and have a beer and a buddy shift the bed around until satisfied. The capture clips in the frame have a ton of slop and play in them and allow for ample adjustment. IIRC there's a torque value to the torx bolts but I do not remember what it was.

I still haven't looked and I'm not gonna. 
Another scorcher today with 1.5 hours of forced overtime. Plus I've been driving the Focus for four weeks now and I haven't even burned 1/4 of a tank in my truck in that time.
So there!

Off topic but I'm taking a good, long look at the new Focus Tim. At around 25k a year driving back and forth from Chicago to MtCarroll (270 mile round trip), I could just keep the truck out there and use the 4runner here in Chicago, keep miles off both of them and probably buy another building with the fuel savings.

I also had a misaligned bed - to the extent that I was noticing the leading edge of the bed was getting some paint wear from stones and bugs. I took it back under warranty and the dealer took care of it.
