Nice setup, I like the bluetooth setup you made with the tablet. How did that husky box work out on the roof, I was thinking of using a couple on my next trip.

I spent a lot of time researching on this site. So, I figured since I just came back from a 5,488 mile expedition across the U.S. now would be a proper time to show the truck.

Awesome truck! Thinking about doing a bed drawer system similar to yours. Do you have a link to the drawer slides you used?

Really sweet. Very well thought out and great execution. Love to see a write up on the electronics in the rear if you had a mind to.

a similar idea would be the pack rat by weatherguard. There are used ones all over craigslist. They are sturdy and secure. I have found them for as cheap as 300$ used just in need of some paint. Just an idea. (its what im going with)
