Very nice. I wish I'd have seen it before I fabricated mine up, but mine is still working great. I'd love to use metal, but I have balsa wood covered in vinyl.

Now be clever and make few more and sell them over here. I am your first customer. You dont have to assemble the entire thing just ship all the pieces and we will assemble it oursleves. I am serious.

In all seriousness, you should be able to get a pair of small, bright white (or red if you care about the night vision thing) LED's and stick them on the sides or underneath. It really doesn't take very much light at all if your eyes are used to the dark. Good idea
I have a blank on mine, that I use for a light in the cab. 2nd from right.



Let me know if you need some help with power, since I made my block for 4 independent and 1 master switch.

So...Here is my copy of yours...its a little different, which is probably a good thing! The only box my fry's had was like 2x4x10, we made due! Its not the cleanest thing, but it works great. I know a guy with a CNC machine, so i might hit him up to fab a "perfect" one, and we used bedliner in a spray can, worked pretty well. We actually used an angle grinder after the bedliner, and it was not getting through it very easy! Very Tough Finish~



we used the tabs to hold it up, we actually just made two slits in the facing and slide it in, holds it really tight!

Notice the two Led lights on the bottom...good map lights!

Looks awesome

I didn't think it was possible, but your blue LED looks even brighter than mine!

Also looks like you have plenty of room on the front side for labels, lights, etc. Nice work.
