Default Re: Possible Tundra Bed Bounce CURE FOUND

I'm disappointed that some people can't acknowledge and respect this problem -- the results of the bed bounce survey we did show that it's a significant and real problem independent of geography, wheel base, cab type, TRD package, etc. If you feel like being critical of the people having this issue, maybe you should keep your thoughts to yourself.

ANYWAYS...

So far it looks like only a couple of you have tried this out. I noticed that one of you used foam that was 1" thick, and that one of you didn't specify.

When we were putting this article together, we tried to determine what kind of foam was being used and we haven't figured it out yet. However, this is a difference between "closed cell" foam and other types of foam you'll find at the hardware store, etc. We'll try and find a cheaper source of foam and buy it in bulk if this cure works like we hope it will.

Also, our reader that came up with the fix suggested tweaking the tightness of the spare tire to get the best results.

We've got a couple of volunteers waiting for the pad to arrive at their door. Once it gets there they'll install it and let us know how it went for them.
