Phil-

A real nice job. And the idea for keeping the drawers close works for me.

Keep it going.

I suggest you relocate those tail lights. Any kind of incline on the tongue will have an il-affect on them. Heck just lifting the tongue to move it around....

Let them into the bumper! That's our plan too, we're to "French" them into the bumper.

My hatch is all but finished and I am leaning towards wiring my turn and tail lights into the hatch lid itsself along with the license plate mount and light. I already have it wired for 12v and 120 v "dome" light in the hatch. Really lights up the galley at night . I'll try and get some night shots soon.

Hi All,

Yeah, I plan to move the lights up into the hatch and probably add a upper break light, license plate light as well.

Thanks,

Diverguy... Yes I do dive! Although it's been almost a year since I got wet. All my dives are here in the NW "cold water" without looking I'm guessing about 125 logged dives. Thanks for asking! :)

jdarkoregon... I think I got a speeding ticket in Sublimity! :lol:

A speeding Ticket in Sublimity, That is very possible, If you blink twice you have passed through Sub. The speed goes from 55 to 25 in a hurry and its hard to get the lead off the peddle fast enough. I can remember a few years ago they must have been targeting our little town (its a county road through it) just about everybody who went through got a ticket. My poor buys drove old beaters and they got stopped almost everyday for a month or so - no tickets but they sure made sure all the lights worked.

Just slow down next time. I'll wave at ya
