Haha I'd be proud of that.. Maybe frame it on my wall.

Thanks again! Twice in one day: dude!!!
...as per recent "google is your friend" thread, I'm now googling my homework on air vs. electronic locker lol.

Been thinking of putting a switch in the back to turn the cab lights on when i have the liftgate open. While i was seeing if it would work i went to town with a box and some rope. Got tired of all my stuff sliding around and breaking other things. Also, my trashcan can't fall over now.

My pleasure, electronic lockers will save you from buying a compressor. That being said, an onboard compressor is a pretty nice feature to have.

Good choice. I keep telling people not to join the Army. I figure if they listen and Aim High, they deserve it. If they don't listen and wanna be Army Strong, they deserve what they get lol
