    Thanks!

    Yea although they aren't the best. I'm already on my second set, but they're cheap so I'm not too worried about it.

    Ran out of switch blanks a while back and had to improvise

    My OCD is kinda irritated that OTRATTW sent me different switches this time around (no LED indicator on bottom like the other 2 there, and other 3 in center console), but ehh I guess I'll fix it sometime

    Did some small upgrades.

    My dual volt gauge has slowly crapped on me over time. Now I can barely read out the numbers
    IMG_5875.jpg

    Found another one on eBay that's crystal clear
    IMG_5883.jpg

    Also went away with the Action Packer that carried all of my camping gear and left everything dusty AF. I guess the onus is on me for not adding a gasket to the lid like others have done. But it wasn't ideal for me anyway because I couldn't find shit in there. Now I have the DeWalt Tough System tool box. It has several different sizes to make it custom to your liking, dust/water proof, and it takes up a smaller footprint than my action packer (because it stacks vertically). I was able to transfer everything over from the action packer and I have plenty of space left over. I was thinking of getting one of the smaller tool boxes to stack on top, but as of now it's not needed.

    Where did you buy these? I've been trying to find a good bin setup but don't like that the Actionpackers aren't weatherproof and seem excessively large for my needs.

    Home Depot. Or simply search DeWalt Tough System to look at the different configurations you can do. Home Depot is just where I got free shipping bc I shipped to store
