yeah the passenger side is worse. there is a hole rusted through above the wheel well. i dont know if bondo will work. i might have to go down south and pick up a bed. hmm ive never heard that. it makes sense though. i wonder if they trap moisture between the trim and the fender
I don't know how good you are with body work, but the best way to fix it is to just replace the bed panels. Places like LMC truck usually carry them for $150-200. Drill out a couple of spot welds, tack it back up, and it's ready to paint. It's all new material too, so no worries about how long before it starts to rust either. You can replace just the wheel well lip, but unless you know what you're doing it can get pretty ugly. Lots more room for error going that route.

Last February, I tried to start a buddys CRF450R in Oregon at the dunes. He kicked it about 20 times, I kicked it about 20 times and the 3rd guy kicked it about 10 times before it started.
My CR started on the FIRST kick. I have seen many instances where the 4 stroke is a bear to start. Not as hard as that CRF that day, but harder than my CR on it's worse day.
How many kicks to start your bike when it is dead cold?

Right before a large load of hay gets hauled.
The last two photos aren't too good. I need to get a picture of the trailer loaded.

Its seems to be slightly bent. When I bought new tires I had to use a 'Port-a-Power' hydraulic cylinder ram to straighten it some. I believe that pic was before i straightened it.
It is still bent some though.
I just hate the fact that is has open diffs!
