Du-Ha Rear Storage
Well I just got back home from working and looks like my Du-Ha rear storage had arrived. Didn't take me long to rip open the box and get back out to my truck.
I must say that at first I wasn't very happy about the price (like everyone says), but it is a very nice product. I'm not putting down any other forum members that decide to build their own, but it just wasn't feasible for me. It is very heavy duty, looks factory, and makes for a lot of usable space under the rear seats.
Now onto some pictures:
Barely tell it's even there!
Fits nicely around and over the factory sub woofer
A little messy because of some files from work, but it really can hold a lot and it's a great addition to my truck!

So after gathering some more supplies I started to tackle wiring up the bed lights I had bought for the truck. I thought of course it would be easy peasy, but I ran into a couple snags along the way. I wired the constant power from the Fuse Box bolt at the front of the truck. Getting this constant power wire to the back of the truck seemed pretty easy, but I struggled with it. Eventually I moved onto wiring the grounds to each set of lights. I routed the wire and went to hook it to a bolt found by the spare tire, but I did not have a big enough ring style end blade connector and I wasn't going back over to the store because I already made an extra trip to get more wire. So I just started fiddling with each little part and talked to a passerby who was gathering donations for people in wheelchairs (Gave him $5, since it was all I had on me) and talked to my landlords when they showed up from work.
As the sun started to set I knew I had to hurry up and at least get it wired. Also I received an email stating I will be doing courses on Friday morning so I really have to have it finished tomorrow 100%. I stuck to it until there wasn't any light and I was working with a flashlight in hand.
Here's some pictures of the unfinished project so far. I'll mount the lights tomorrow morning and check all my wires and clean some things up:
The LED toggle switch I decided to use

Got all the lights mounted and cleaned up some wires. When I was nearing completion and onto screwing in my last light pod I realized that they didn't properly cut the head of the screw out so there was just no way. I scouted over to Canadian Tire figuring they would have a screw to match at least somewhat. Well they didn't so I bought a pack of stainless steel metal screws and went back to finish the job. You can't even notice it being different unless you're me because I'm picky.
Anyways here's some last pictures of the project. I'll have to grab a picture in the dark.
