Is there any item you would suggest I locate and prewire my high top for before installing insulation and ceiling liner? My list so far is.. 3rd brake light, roof solar, ceiling lights, maybe ceiling speakers, storage bunk lights, maxxair fan, cell/game charge port for the bunk.

Brackets for a bulkhead if you want one.
Much easier to do now.

You pretty much covered everything I could think of.
Agreed on the bulkhead. Definitely have lighting in there if you have a cabinet up front. Charging ports there are nice to keep things on charge while keeping them out of sight.
Agreed on the third brake light. I added all the taillights to the top so you may consider bringing all that wiring up if that appeals to you. Since they're LED lights the wire can be fairly light, I believe I used 18 or maybe 20 awg. I believe it was a six conductor like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0761YT36D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
I added those lights to provide a view to what I'm doing several cars back, a lot like the third brake lik=ght but overkill.
