    Yep, OEM replicas from Amazon. I made a harness for them. I used a latching relay since the button is a momentary switch. Now the lights click on, click off. I didn’t like the look of the toggle switches and wanted a button instead.

    2nd gens didn’t come with cargo lights or wiring for them. From what I’ve seen, the 3rd gens have the plugged cutouts in the bed and the wiring harness behind it.

    The wives don’t need to know what we buy, all they need to know is that we’ll handle it if something needs to be picked up or moved :D

    Todays project was the last panel that needed sound deadening in the truck.


    Before, very hollow above the headliner

    Amazing how much of a difference a few sound pads and cushions make.

    Modified Havis console in progress. Wanted something shorter than OEM and modular without paying out my ass for a custom job. Will be converting to a three seater access cab way down the line.
