So I picked up a new DVS Center Console for our Alu-Cab camper conversion. I added 4 dual USB high output ports to the front and drilled a hole in the bottom and added a grommet to prevent chafing of the power wires. As this is for a Step for us to get into our tent, I added no slip tread tape to the top.

finally actual pics, Im waiting for this and the shifter console, is it much better than the tuffy box? not just as a step but in general?

I don't have any real experience with the Tuffy, but I can say that the build quality of the DVS console is outstanding!

Being able to have serious lockable storage made out of steel, that I can fit my full frame Nikon and lenses, Tablet, pistol and still have room for other stuff is impressive, add the fact that I can stand on it to enter my tent from inside the vehicle…it is perfect for my setup.

For my needs with my Alu-Cab roof replacement pop-top, there is no better system out there.

This is a serious upgrade for my build!
 
I drove over a 1,000 miles to have a belly plate install by Cruisin Offroad.

Drove to a company meeting and ran into a traffic jam on the way back home.

So I installed the @Delta VS arms and I wanted better springs so speaking with a a good Ozzy he suggested these they are a 700# spring for really heavy front ends, and since I have a Cummins and soon bumper and winch these should be perfect @baldilocks it is going to handle really good

Are you replacing an earlier set of Delta Arms on your 80? How much lift are you trying to achieve? I have an 80 with a Cummins and am interested in how this turns out for you. If your selling your earlier set of Delta Arms let me know I would be interested in buying them.
 
After my car stereo hay-days in college, installing car stereos from alleys to dorm parking lots, I have to say this thing is def worth it. Especially if you go with an Alpine head unit. Literally plug and play.
What is the part number for this amp...looks interesting.

Do you have a build thread, I would like to see your roof replacement setup.
 
In preparation for my turbo install I recently picked up a spare valve cover and sent it out to Rick at Creative Custom Finishing for some serious spa treatment.
