Wood or Metal bed floor ???

Hey guys, I am raising the floor in my bed & am doing a lot of other mods to it as well (I will not be using my stock bed floor)

So should I build a wood floor or a smooth sheet steel floor ???

Re: Wood or Metal bed floor ???

I'm prolly gonna throw my 4-wheeler in it & misc stuff, but I dont think I'll be hauling enough to worry about the durability of the wood
