Maybe I am simply misunderstanding where the wheels really were.

If you look closley at the pic of the gate down you can still see the indention of the cart wheels in the bed inner, just in front of the cable attach point. (closer to the cab or front of the truck) the damage is a bit deciving in that it looks like compresion from the back of the gate, but if you look at the pic of the gate closed you can see a bow in the gate and the damage on the sides is just wrinkling due to the new shape of the gate. Similar to a unibody car wrinkling the roof when they are hit in the front.

Oh well at least I still have a really cool truck that can be fixed. Golf cart maybe not... It hates the tundra I think.
