So I decided to do a few mods to the truck, most of them due to the fact my fiancé has to drive my truck now days. First I installed a hopkins smart hitch reverse camera, and finally made use of that hole in the dash; Did a couple small mods this weekend.-image-1225453405.jpg Did a couple small mods this weekend.-image-1586297042.jpg Did a couple small mods this weekend.-image-1769080348.jpg Second I installed a bully reverse hitch light; Did a couple small mods this weekend.-image-457926647.jpg Before Did a couple small mods this weekend.-image-3547416639.jpg After Did a couple small mods this weekend.-image-3007726497.jpg Third I installed a gun safe in my truck; Did a couple small mods this weekend.-image-2107126767.jpg Did a couple small mods this weekend.-image-4107256684.jpg And the forth mod I did was install a tonnopro trifold tonneau cover; Did a couple small mods this weekend.-image-3390705316.jpg

Everything looks good. Where did you get the gun safe?

In for where you got the safe too! Also, is it bolted down through the bottom of the safe as well or just by the visible brackets? I've been considering this for a bit.

Thanks guys, I got the safe from Sports Authority it's a Stack On brand. You can get it off of amazon for about $15.00 cheaper I found out about 2 days after I bought it. But oh well. I bolted it down in the spots where u see the brackets because there were two holes there from the factory. You really don't need to go through the floor, if you use the right brackets. I used some really thick L brackets from Lowes and stainless steal bolts and locking nuts and washers. I'm not sure what type of nuts they are, but the guy said you need either a torque wrench to get them off or you need to cut them off to take the safe. He wasn't kidding I tried to take them off with a normal wrench and could not budge them, so I doubt a crack head will be able to do so if they break into my truck.

I'm really impressed with the backup camera and light too!

Sounds similar to my bedside table. Different reason for the handcuffs.
