There’s A LOT going on here so I added detailed descriptions to each picture. The entire rear 3/4 of the truck was gutted and only the upper trim panels were retained. It’s just my wife, dog and myself so I built this to fit our needs. The cargo cage is mounted to the body, and can swing open and latch to the ceiling should I need to fit something large, or escape out the back. The rear drawers are 24” deep on 100lb rated full extension slides. There are multiple cubbies, and power ports throughout the rear area. The cargo area width was determined by fitting a slide out refrigerator on the drivers side and large Pelican cases stacked on the passenger.
The alpine racks are designed for storing soft goods like extra cloths, towels, etc. Drivers side bin holds bottle jack, tools, and extra parts/fluids. Passenger side houses electrical sub panel, and other misc goods. Tops of the bins are sized to have tent, and sleeping pads strapped to them. Drawers store propane stove, kitchen items, food, etc.
I probably overcomplicated the electronics, but that’s what engineers do. Entire rear section can be shut off with master cut off. 12v sockets are always powered when master is on, but USBs are only powered when ignition is on. There is an ignition override switch in the dash to allow USBs to be powered with ignition off. Battery monitor in the rear to, well, monitor consumption while parked at camp site and electronics are being used. Larger single battery for now, duals eventually. Circuit breakers and relay bank for addition exterior lighting housed in heavily modified battery box. All main grounds in engine bay upgraded. 4ga marine wire run to rear sub panel along frame inside of conduit.
Rear door speakers and cargo door subs relocated (subs were junk so we’re replaced). This being a Westminster edition it has the 12 speaker Harmon Kardon audio system. Previous owner installed the aftermarket head unit, but it’s still using the OEM amp.
Still working on the rear door so it’s not shown. It will have relocated handle, and fold down prep surface, etc. others on here have done.
Will post more pics as the project evolves. I did the fun stuff first and now working on fixing the mechanicals.
Let me know if you have any questions.
