3 coats of exterior paint and under the tonneau, ..YES.

big box wood sucks......=(

Former Lowe's guy here. Unless the wood stays in Georgia, Oregon/Washington or someplace with some matching humidity, it's going to warp to some extent. It's not even big box that's the problem, just big box do product turns quicker, and indoor yards so the bunks get broken into before they have a chance to acclimate better, and thus warp like a mofo. I always had my guys rotate stock by date to minimize that, plus tried to keep a 3-4 week supply on hand for best sellers. Smaller retailers usually have a drive through lumber yard, and that helps a bunch for quicker acclimation.

How hard was it to install the switches?

The shop I took it to does all of the local dealerships after market work. I had him doing other work for me and he only charged me a total of 2.5 hrs which came out to about $300.00 plus tax. But the tech was on it for at least 4 hours.

I wired up a set of KC HiLite Gravity LED PRO6 driving lights to the OEM Steel Bumper using a BadgeGlow Aux board from the OEM Aux switches.

I have power! These lights are excellent!

Here is a view from the trail cam (it was raining so a bit of water on the cam):

This morning I installed the BuiltRight Industries Utility Rail System, Bedside Front Rack System and their Red Bed Plug Cover.

Funny enough, I installed the Red Bed Plug Cover last and it started to rain.... So I pulled the tonneau cover over me and kept at it! I can just imagine what the neighbors thought if they saw me pull the tonneau cover over my head.

I also installed a Factor55 UltraHook Rope Guard for my synthetic rope.

I added MAXTRAX and Rotopax to my rack, and added some sill guards. Still waiting on the tent.

Looks good! What does Badge Glow do? Does it just make it easier to connect to Aux switches by bringing the connections to under the hood?

Installed the Bestop EZ Fold tonneau cover.

Exactly. Just makes it cleaner. I attached Aux 1 through Aux 4 to it. I am running my lights on Aux 4 (the lights are less than 4 amps and Aux 3 & 4 are 15 amps). Next time I install something that needs power, I just have to run the wires to the BadgeGlow Aux board.

Nice, I need to look into it. But, I wired my CB from inside so I don't need to do that but I plan to add lights and that might be a cleaner solution. It is < $40 so not too shabby!

Is that Warn 10S or 12S you got going there? Did you connect that directly to the battery?

Added the Tyger Soft Tri-Fold Tonneau cover today. $200 and it fit and looks great!

Got two super-sticky rubber yoga mats and cut for length and around the wheel wells to make a fairly-effective bed liner. It seems like it will keep most things from sliding around much. Very sticky.

Three 40-gallon tubs (got that idea from someone else on the forum) and one ice chest make for a good lower-half storage system. I can put lighter stuff, like sleeping bags, duffels with clothing, etc. …, on top of the tubs. There's enough room around the sides for a number of cots and camp chairs, etc. … One of the tubs is about 1/3 full of recovery and emergency gear.
