The main reason why it shouldn't be done is because i think there is
supposed to be some flex built into the movement of the box in relation to
the cabin. Like if you've got a heavy load in the back, i'm sure the box
would sit slightly lower than the cabin. And when you go over bumps and
what-not there is definitely a difference in the motion of the bed compared
to the cabin.
But, if you never plan on carrying anything too heavy back there, and just
use the Dak as a sport truck, then maybe i wouldn't be a bad idea???
But personally, i don't think it is the best route.
