Don't bend your flimsy steel truck bed

Armchair engineers......lol, clueless.....

Yeah - Yeah add another 4X4 and tighten again :(

Well at least he didn't put a cheater on that wrench. :B

What a bunch of clowns.:S

To give them some credits - at least they let others to learn from their mistakes.
At least they had light camper and did not break camper floor.
When I drop my camper, I add horizontal support under front of the floor. Once I put 4x4 2 inches farther and even with only part of the weight, the floor start breaking. With my 4000 lb camper, I believe about close to 3000 lb goes into front wall area. No truck floor is going to hold that much between the supports and camper floor will break in the middle as well.

Impressive that the camper tiedown point survived.

Run the boards front to rear so that they are supported by the bed supports. Running them cross-ways and not directly over the bed support can easily cause this.

My truck bed isnt flimsy,I have a Chevy,so no fear of that happening :B
:p

That's going to last about 3 seconds off road before the 4xs punch through the bottom of the camper. Need to build a proper elevated floor or better yet get a TC designed for the cab height.
