    Unfortunately, no.

    I have my sights set on trying to sell a version of semi-hidden kits for DC's, in which only the motor is visible. It's a tricky installation procedure though, with pretty high risk of improper installation...so I'm trying to refine the concept to make it more user friendly to install.

    I just completed my install on this mod and I have to say that I really do not see a big need for a "hidden" version....if you NEED IT OR WANT IT then buy it now,I needed it in order to simplfy loading and unloading a boat every week.Keep one thing in mind when you flip the seat up after you complete the mod you dont see anything so as far as I am concerned it is now "hidden".A couple of thoughts about Bens kit.
    1.A very well done kit...QUALITY PARTS.
    2.Very good instuctions...professional quality
    3.It took me 9 hours....I am not good at this type of stuff,I am slow and make too many mistakes
    4.It would be great to have insulated connectors included
    5.A dremel tool works very well for trimming the cubby area
    6.I mounted my switch below the AC controls by removing a blank and lengthening the hole (2013) and it came out almost OEM.
    Again,if you have a real need for one BUY IT....ITS GREAT!!!
    Thanks.

    Glad to have your feedback puma. And even more glad that you got the install done and are glad you did it!

    Thanks for the good words!

    Just curious -- how does the slider help with loading the boat? Does it help the driver communicate with somebody outside the truck?

    The reason I needed this mod was due to 2 issues.....yes my tint is dark so it makes it easier to see the boat with the window open and it is now much
    easier to communicate with the driver when loading and unloading,basically this mod was essential for me in order to improve both visual and verbal
    communication.One other thing,the motor is extremely smooth and makes very little noise.
    I dont know how to post pictures so Imay not be able to post.
    Thanks.

    You just go to "manage attachments" when you create a new post, and you can upload a jpg from a file on your computer/phone.

    First time post...I've had my semi-hidden version installed for a week now. Ben helped with install and was worth every penny! The motor is the only visible part and only if the seat is folded down. I put my switch between the map lights cause it just seamed like the "stock" location. There is room for the switch but I had to get creative with the spade connectors to get them to fit. If you have a DB cab and like the back window open, you need this mod! Thanks again Ben!
