Re-Restoring wood bed...?

I am reaching out for some collective knowledge;

I just looked back on forum, I did my restore of my truck starting in 2009 and into 2010. IE, about 12 years ago. At the time, I installed Classic Industries Red Oak wood floors and chrome strips/bolts. 5 coats of Spar Clear Urethane. I got huge compliments on how amazing my bed was;

Fast forward to today (12 years later); Not as amazing anymore. The Urethane is starting to fail I suspect. In any case, the wood, where it is exposed to air, is discoloring.

My truck is a garaged kept truck, I bring it out about 2 weeks total per year for shows. Never sees water unless it is washing it. We do get serious sun here, but only 2 weeks per year tops...

HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS;

1. Can this wood be saved?
2. Should I have re-applied urethane? How often?
3. Should I buy new wood and abandon this wood?
4. If I buy new wood, is this old wood worth anything?

3 PICS ATTACHED:

1. Original bed pic after install.
2. Pic of bed now.
3. Close-up.


Thoughts? Any experience with this?
