Rear cab damage on 03 Tacoma?

[CavTrooper]

Went out on a trail to test out my OME suspension on my 03 Tacoma and didn't notice it at the time, but the frame must have flexed/buckled enough causing the bed to crease my cab on the outer edges. I know I did not hit hard or bury it when I was traversing terrain. Should there be concern with existing frame damage? Any thoughts? Anyone ever had a similar problem?
Thanks

Frame rust? I would be VERY concerned!

Any pics of the damage or pics of the suspected area where the frame may have bent?

What exactly do yoj mean by "crease" in the cab? Where? Do you have a camper shell, top, or rack onm thee truck? If so how much space between the cab and shell/rack?

Pics?

I have the same thing happen, its not a big deal, the frame obviously flexes and caused the bed to hit your cab, ive seen it on many trucks, thing to look for is the gap between the cab and bed, if it is not unform throughout then you permanately tweaked the bed which is no good.

Mine self-clearanced long ago and no longer hits the cab. Put some touch-up paint on it if the paint flakes and you'll be fine.

Thanks for all the good replies. I thought it was not a big deal, but with all the frame rust issues with toyota I thought I would throw it out there. Too bad they did not think about that in the design. Oh well back to the R&D lab!
