Really like that console.

Thank you, lots of friday night pizza boxes involved in making that console.

Awesome... good luck with that maiden voyage and hope it's smooth sailing

Thanks, never know what you are about to get the first time you roll out of the driveway after every nut and bolt on the entire truck was removed lost, misplaced, then replaced 5 years later.

Nice build. Looks like it will be ready in time for summer. ;D

I sure hope so, or fall or winter or there is always next spring. Was supposed to be a 2 year build tops. That's what I truly believed when I was removing the first nuts and bolts to begin building the new unit 5 yrs ago.%)

Yes, relay panel is from ce auto and I highly recommend it. I fine tuned it to my liking a bit so the ignition switch lights the whole panel up. I didnt want 10 switches to turn on accessory especially that my wife is going to be using the truck by herself a lot. I dont want to be at work wondering if she turned on pumps and fans or what not. It's nice and simple , hit the key the entire panel is live and timers or sensors do the rest.

While the console did turn out nice I am disappointed with it in the end. I tried every possible way to get cup holders in it and there just wasn't enough room to do so. I was able to fit a cubby up front that is kind of useless except to hold my empty wallet but just not enough room for cup holders that are way more important. This winter I may cut the whole console out and start from scratch and even use white carbon fiber to match the seats, door panels and dash.

So after a long 4 yrs of building we finally got our first ride in. After a few days of staying local and reporting home every few minutes to make adjustments and addressing a few minor leaks and small issues we figured what better way to break this thing in than take it with us camping over 2hrs away in Montauk point on long island. Here is a few pics we took while we were there.

Thank you. We wanted to keep the look of the way we bought it from you, something about the color and the moldings that give it that stock factory look to off set all the unstock unfactory stuff we did to it. We are enjoying the hell out of it and making up for lost time, I finished the truck to the point we could start using it the first week in july and managed to put 2k miles on it already.

Not really a fan of extra lights anywhere on trucks but decided to try out these rock lights and I actually like the way they look. Besides being happy with the way they look they are so helpful working under the truck, basically no need for a drop light anymore, it's like daylight in the dark and was well worth the 40.00 for the 2 sets of lights.

They come 4 lights in a set for 20 bucks. I did 8 lights total.
