H HondaTech Guest Aug 6, 2023 #5 You have to get rid of the rear cage as well, bed won't fit between the rear bars. Also need the under bed panel that covers the rear of the engine. And thicker bumpers for the rear of frame to keep bed from lifting to far and hitting the muffler cover. Reactions: Smitty335 and ChadD
