In Bed Hatch doors How to install, A must for Snugtop owners...
« on: July 28, 2011, 09:49:34 PM »
Ok well as most of you know I got a Snugtop a few months ago.. Well I got sick of putting everything in milk crates, So I looked at doing the Boat Hatch MOD..... :cheesy1:

First off I want to thank Tempress ( http://www.tempress.com/ ) for all their help.. And Cadboy...

First off I got the 11x15 Cam Hatch  in black to match the Bedrug. Comes with the hatch and a template.

First off cut out the template and see where you want it.. Then drill your pilot holes...

Once in just do some fine triming and put some screws in Mine were too short so I will get longer ones this weekend.. 

If you have a bedrug cut an X in the middle of where the hatch will be and trim the tringles off.. 

The whole thing takes about 2 Hr's to do...

And now for some nice touches...  I added some light. Found a 3 way switch and put in white LED's in the bed and I hooked up the 3rd IPCW LED top light to the switch for when the Top is on.. What do you think?

I've never seen that before. Read about it, but never seen it. I can see where it comes in useful.
