    Well, I figure I'm far enough in that I should start a build page, the truck is a multi purpose work/off road/hunting/overland truck, my interest in off road isn't as much for the driving as it is for the building/fabricating so here we go
    Two weeks after I got it

    Looking nice. Wish I had the means of doing all of that myself. Is each one of those lights on its own switch?

    I love how you have the switches, I'm thinking about setting mine up the same way, its nice knowing it can be done now.
    can you post a picture of the inside?
