Outlet Displace Mod

Got a bit bored today. Bit of forward thinking incase I run into a stock bed box at the junk yard or a Tuffy security box later on.

Started with undoing the bolts and removing the plug. Along with the wire ziptie located in the housing. Plyers made quick work of removing it.

 

Soon after removing made a simple template with a piece of paper and cut out around outlet plate. Exacto

 

Yes, engineering at its finest.

 

Cut everything out with a dermal tool (fair warning you will hit an Ibeam part of the bed)


ALSO** Wear a mask or breathing respirator* the dust off cutting the bed is veryyyyy fiberglass. Do not do this mod without one

 

Finished product

 

I believe hardware is M6-10 nuts and lock washers to existing hardware

 

What is the purpose of this?

I'm not being an ass, just asking because I don't see the benefit?

 

Removing the little box for a bigger one. Even if I got another to match the drivers side from the junk yard it's still more room. Or later could splurge and buy something like the Tuffy box for additional room.

 

Makes sense if you want to run 2 long storage compartments, one on each side. Consider doing this myself as I've removed the inverter and have no need for a bed outlet.

 

Exactly my friend.

 

I like

 

Ah ok I didn't see that in the pics. I only use the large box in my bed(jumper cables and tow rope) since that side is so small.

I haven't used my bed outlet for anything yet, but I swear it's going to be awesome when I do

 

Yeah, sometimes I hook up the speakers and play "Never wanna dance again" real loud... That sax solo gets me every time.

 

Look at Tuffy for bed boxes

 

Splurged a bit for Christmas
