P3 mounted.
I'm 6'5" and 240 I sit a fair ways back in the truck so I needed it where I could reach it and see it easily through the wheel tilted down driving.

boats' been slipped.
been kind of a win/loose. The weather has absolutely sucked for 3+ weeks
not alot of boating lately, but the time and the fact that the boat has a place to be has made doing all this possible.
and the daily-driver econocar needed some repairs...
and I broke the tractor...
I just want all this mechanical mayhem and PITA over with about now!

had a hard time coming up with an LED side marker that would cover the "footprint" in the paint and the 1.5" hole at the one end that they torched out to run that one 18ga. wire through 
for the stock Optronics incandescent teardrop marker...
these 12 LED Maxximas do the job. Stainless bezel. Full coverage of the stock lights accomodations and marks in the paint.
$11.99 each @ AWDirect
turned out nice.

just bought two of these...
Peterbuilt new surplus Mirrex polished alum.
18"W x 23.5"H x 28.5"L
They will be mounted rear opening (lengthwise)
I've come up with a mounting program of Uni-Strut hung with hose covered sq. bend u-bolt over the frame...
the pics will tell the tale when I get them going on
many advantages to this mounting program
super-strong
lots of floor supprt
no holes in the trailer
spaced an inch or so away from the frame
I'll put some 3M clear on the frame from the door opening a foot or so back to protect from accidental paint damage removing stuff from the box
7 cu. ft. per box
14 cu. ft. total storage
I paid $180 per box for them.
+ reasonable shipping.
