Received mine last week, was able to install it during my mini vacation this weekend. Looks awesome, didn't need a Dremel to cut any plastic, as the non-moonroof trucks don't have the support behind the headliner. Will be wiring it up over the next few days while I'm waiting for more lights to arrive. Really love the look of it!

Thanks again Brett!











Wiring I picked up from Lowes

Looks GREAT!!!!
Good find on the wiring.
I just got a spool of 8 conductor wiring from my work.
2 wires will not be used in the basic "3 wire" hook up", but the price is under .50 a foot and 1 cable can power 2 switches.
So I'll get that info posted up here in the next day or two.

Again, that looks great in your truck, brother!
Good job!

Subd cause this is badass. It would be badass if you could somehow find a way to watch a design and have an led behind it to light it up at night or something. Do you do custom etches?

Yes, I do custom etches.
I actually do a lot of cell phone cases on ebay.
The Laser "Vaporizes" the black anodizing, leaving a permanent logo or image.
But there is no way that a light or anything as such would light it up at all.
if you have any ideas, you can email me directly at: lethalweapon09@yahoo.com
Thanks,

I was thinking of something like this as well maybe instead of laser or etching maybe cnc the f150 logo straight thru like the switch holes and someone could put a piece of plexiglass and add a few leds behind it. Man I I had my hands on a machine it would be bad. My truck would probly look like something from ad max lol jk not that crazy

LOL! Yea, that actually would be pretty cool!
I'd have to think about that in the future & talk with my machinist for a few ideas too!

Definitely plexiglass with your nice Allen head screws and like a small tray with leds maybe even change colors and run off the ambient light kit

I will most likely have 2 styles to choose from... A 6 switch panel and also a 4 switch panel that a logo can be laser etched there.
But I'll add that the dash area that you're inquiring to see how I can feasibly machine it and attach it securely too.
Thanks & keep you posted on the progress in that.

I would definitely be interested in this but would prefer it fit the driver side cubby... And progress on if and when you might design this? I do like the overhead set up but am iffy about cutting into the headliner...

The headliner mounting and cutting definitely is not for everyone nor the faint of heart... But the install is quite easy & straight forward.

...Unfortunately, At the moment, there are no further progress on any dash or cubby panels. I have looked at the area under the 12v area and trying to come up with something, but may still be a while. I will definitely keep posted if I do get it in production.
