    I got it from a user on here who got it from someone else...It looks very easy to make though. The switched are kind of pricey though--other than that it's just wires.

    Yeah the problem I'm having is finding spaces for switches I have no blanks other than the 2 under the center of the console and I dont want to use them since they are so small

    Camburgs are awesome! Took a 10ton press to get the moogs in, but other than that the install took me about 45 minutes overall.

    Got my new ProEFX towing mirrors! Install was a breeze. it only took about 10 minutes to do both sides!

    Dude your truck is awesome. Gives me a few ideas for mine. I've been looking for a better suspension setup than my pro comp coils to hold up my arb and winch. I love your tow mirrors. The OEM ones are too dang small. Would it be possible for reference for you to take measurements from the center of your hub to the bottom of your fender on the front and rear? I'm at 24" passenger front, 23.5" driver front, and 26" in the rear on both sides. I have an AAL and 2" block in the rear and pro comp 3" coils with .5" (.25" passenger side) top spacer and 1.25" poly coil isolators. Again, awesome truck man. I am trying to get mine about the same height as yours. Looks like I need UCAs as well. Nice to see someone running the ones I looked into.

    Bedliner Purchased, 5M of LED Strips, switches, and lots of tape! Doing the cap bedlining tomorrow and then installing a mercury tilt switch with an on/off interupter in case I keep the window up for a while.

    Stay tuned!

    I plan to do a full write-up with the drawings and dimensions of it later this weekend. But, I know I went overkill with the 2x10's but I like it.

    Here's the main platform without the side panels. You can see the two finger holes up forward that expose the compartments

    Next step is to put the carpet in!

    If anyone has interest in what I've built, I'm happy to post all of my drawings and cuts to make this. The idea was to have a entirely new floor since I got my shell.

    Many of you will disagree with my use of 2x10's because of all the wasted space. I'm aware I could have gone with smaller thickness wood, but I consciously chose this size.

    The system has two "lift off" compartments, one tool drawer, and one gun drawer. The gun drawer is 54" long to accommodate my shooting gear, along with ammo stacked on the side. The dividers will be added this coming week.

    The side panels of the drawers are just to complete the floor. There are 2 pieces on each side and they lift off where I store other random items.

    I've installed LED strips along the windows of my topper and they're wired to TWO switches. One push button and another tilt switch. This allows the lights to come on when the window opens and also when I want to switch them on (when camping). I also have a kill switch wired in case i leave the window open for long periods of time.

    I used speaker box carpet at 3M 90 strength spray adhesive to carpet the boxes and floor...seems to work well.

    I used some sweet rope from work for the handles.

    I'm REALLY happy with the build. It's not perfect, but it does exactly the job I need it to do. It cost less than $200 all said and done, and that includes using the nice plywood at $44/sheet (needed 2 sheets).

    Here are some pictures.
