Well I ran a piece of 20gauge( smallest I have laying around) to the center console shifter back light bulb for power. I am going to add a small switch somewhere. I'm also thinking of mounting some red ones to my rear windows when I get off of my probationary time and wire them into my fire light bar for fire season.

I just used the sticky backing that came with them to mount then around the gauges. I don't remember the brand but i'm sure you could find them online somewhere.

I got tired of the mess i had in the back for three years so i did this today. I can take out what ever is under the platform and still sleep in my jeep. Spare Axel shafts are under my rear seat and high lift is in front of the spare tire. tools and liquids are in the box. What do you think?

Where did you get the "diamond plate" for your floor? I've been looking for something like that.

Kinda a strange question for you guys, what do you call the latches,catches, whatever they are called used to hold the side compartments closed in this design....i'm doing something similar and these look the best solution...Probably would not be able to source them here in Ireland so i need a name for a google search, and to get them ordered....thanks guys

Not sure, there is a vendor on the Land Cruiser forum I am a part of that sells those panel doors as whole pieces. Maybe it is something like http://eberhard.com/dead-bolt-latche...s/prod_82.html that?
