i think if they start up with that poly/plastic stuff"they gonna be messin up thats one of the best things about the gators is that metal bed i put it through so much abuse and it took every bit of it. now my buddy who had a polaris with a poly bed well when we through cement into it lets just say "crack kills"it acually did crack the bed if the cement hit it with a point plus the bed tailgate wouldn't hold back the cement you could see it bending so we offloaded some of the weight because we was afriad the tailgat would just give out. nuthin beats a steel bed look at the avalanche trucks with all that plastic they don't hold up at all. them new bens look nice but they have no use for a person who hauls rough and jagged objects if your doing little landscapeing project around the yard they are fiine but get into some really heavy hauling and see how long they last.
