Looks awesome mate, well done. I think you should put HID's in the drawers just to match the rest of the 4wd. :D
Ok well had an early start this-morning, Lined the base of the draws with left over carpet.. Also made brackets and securely bolted the draws Down. Ran all of the wiring and mounted up the Lights switches and LED Lights.. I ran the wiring down to the back of the draws and clipped up the whole way. Lights are Live power all the time.. Will post up some pics when its dark tonight.. here are a few Extra Pics of the wiring for you all

Thanks Doggy, im glad they are all finished.. Now what to do for my next project??? hahaQuote:

Possibly looking at building something for my mate TUR7LE on the forum here for his GQ, but with a Gun Safe built in as well.. I can supply the dimensions of the draws to anyone that wants to have a go at building some though?
fantastic work there Fletch and a bloomin good idea having the leds in there too mate............. awesome job
Oh yer mate, i can definetly see why they are so expensive.. As you say its satisfiying to have done it all myself thoughQuote:
