Re: Just asking
Structural adhesives that can take the heat the sun generates plus all the weather conditions the truck might be exposed to are getting pretty expensive. If a person uses the stake pockets for side racks or other load bearing devices then there will be a fair amount of tension and compression on the pockets at times. Epoxy has a life limit but it can be extended by keeping the vehicle out of the elements when stored and using the stake pockets lightly or not at all. The faying surfaces need to be very clean and free of any corrosion before gluing the pockets on.
