I guess the preload was off it wasn't an air leak.

Picture of my new Trasharoo getting ready for some AAT cleanup and camping this spring and summer.

Its a Radio shack job box cut down on a table saw. Then its a six switch carling face plate. I then cut a hole in job box to fit face plate. Originally I had it screwed down that was a mistake, it is held down with velcro that when when you work on switches or console it can be removed. It does not move around between the velcro and being tight to the console.

Nice Build. Have a 01 as well and have spent the last year building it up. Haven't had the chance to take it out yet but looking forward to it real soon.

They were out of fan and front light switches. The lightning bolt is my fan override, the zombie switch will be when I get some LEDs or hids for the front bumper.
