Yep. I discovered this a couple months ago. I bought two tailgate protectors with the intention of using one for the front of the bed. To my surprise, when I laid it on top of the bed there was a much larger gap on the sides compared to the tailgate. I thought maybe one was shorter than the other, but that wasn't the case. The bed is indeed wider at the cab.

thats wierd...if yours and your familys are wider at the tailgate...then that would mean that our tailgates arent interchangeable.

i have a LUND rollup and love it!

I'm a bit jealous of that. I have the regular old pain in the *** style toneau with the bows and 200 snaps, and if it's below 80 degrees it shrinks and it's a pain the *** to get back on.

everything stays dry...i can roll it up and haul my gooseneck...haul a 4wheeler...cover it up and go shopping...it doesnt flap...its adjustable for winter/summer (contracting)...has been on there for 4 years...lifetime replacement on the frame...I LOVE IT!

mine flaps. a friend of mine rode in the bed one time and said that it sounded like a machine gun the entire way. don't ask why he wanted to ride in the bed, i still don't know myself.

Probably because that's where your girl or the beer was ... or both.
