    I also mounted these simple stainless steel panels from a website called agricover.com, the left one mainly protects my compressor from getting hit with stuff in the bed, and the right side is just a nice pocket for throwing stuff.

    As you can see, I use the bed of my truck for its intended purpose hauling stuff, so it's pretty beat up.

    I also got my 3rd battery mounted in the front of the bed, and it wired into the factory batteries under the hood with an electronic battery isolator kit I bought on Amazon that charges the battery when the truck is running and disconnects this battery from the truck when the vehicle is off.

    So you can drain this battery all you want with charging devices and running lights without the worry of draining your starter battery on the truck.

    I'll have a USB cable running up into the tent to use at night of this battery and maybe running a fridge/freezer combo in the future.

    That’s one heck of a setup and excellent work!!

    I got the KC M-rack installed this weekend and the KC Hilites Gravity 6 pro LED light bar.

    I love the classic round look, and these LEDs are more powerful than a standard light bar.

    Next weekend I will work on wiring it to my switch panel in the cab.

    I did some driving today and am very happy I didn't notice any noises and hardly any effect on the MPG, maybe 1mpg at most if that.

    Super stoked about that. I was worried about wind noise from all this stuff.
