Do the retrofit, you won't regret it. I love mine.

The wrench to get pass side rear seat out.. back outer bolt
Got 5 gallons of resin and 50yds of chop mat from us composites ready to go and 2 4x8 sheets of mdf.
Trying to get an idea of air space etc
3 layers of chop mat in, letting it cure overnight. Stuff doesn't set up as fast in a ~68* shop. Should have mixed my batches with more hardener.
I may have missed this but are you going to use center row buckets out of a Suburban for your rears?
Yep, I already have them.
Some progress:
Still haven't decided the contour for the top of the console. Kinda depends how I decide to mount the subwoofers.
These showed up today
Too low for me but I can mount them up higher by about 3" so they are nice and tucked up. There was a hole there so I threw it in to see how it would look.
I think I'm going to mount it behind the valence and not in it. It shows too much and looks out of place.
Very bright
9600lm for the 20" bar

Very cool nice how that fits in that area in front but might have to trim/body work to get it in there like ya like , thought about something like a narrow light bar(s) under the bumper somehow? or an actuator that runs off the reverse circuit to lower the lights from in front of the rear bumper?
Actuators would be really cool but aren't they pretty expensive? I was thinking about doing an iPad for my headunit awhile ago and I was going to use an actuator to open/close the slot to pull it out and I remember them being expensive.
Any links of what you had in mind would be awesome. Don't know much about them.
Ok did a little research and the actuators I did find are real expensive, however I was thinking that you could get a couple window motors fairly reasonable and come up with a mounting system wire them together and put a three way switch/ window switch hidden in the cab so you can put them up and down as you need, wire the lights to the reverse lights, it'd be sweet if you could make them come down when you put it in reverse but how you would make it work is above my wireing skills
Late night in the shop.
Was in the shop all night trying to get something done with the console.
Nice fit along the floor, going to be this way all the way around when done.
It still comes out of the truck.... barely. Going to be a heavy SOB when I'm done + 74lbs of subs and actually finished.
Reverse lights are in. You can't see them unless you are looking up from the bottom of the bumper as your line of sight.

Made a bracket for my new backup camera. Old one was ricey looking above the license plate
Mounted front 20" bar... there were already holes that match up perfect, I just had to redrill holes higher up to get teh bar height correct in the opening
Put this connector on the bar for the time being. It is wired in with the fog lights.
Tapped of the fog lights for now
IN and done
DRL's + Fogs + Bar
Lows + DRL's + Fogs + Bar
All on
I went for an excursion to see what the lights looked like outside.
Bucket for my seat
Lows only

I usually only have my lows on. They are plenty bright by themselves with the retrofit. This is just overkill for out in the country at night.
