Christmas lights in Truck Bed

2014 I had 3 strands.
2015 I had 5.
This year I have 7 stands of lights on bajarack.

 

Not sure if you can see it....but I used one of those safety plug inserts that you use if you have young children...to keep them from sticking things in the outlet. That should help keep water out of the unused end.

It's that white thing at the end

 

I used these small clear clips to hold my wires onto the bed of the truck. I have a bed cover that has a metal frame around the outside, so they are attached to that, but they would stick to the plastic bed rail caps.

That's the cool thing about the LEDs. Try that with incandescents and the inverter would shut down immediately

 

I got mine for $11 at lowes.

 

Has anyone thought of putting a wreath on the grill? I was thinking of doing that to my taco but wanted to see if anyone has done it yet. Preferably with automatic lights.

 

If I still had the stock grill and no lights behind it I would consider it. it would take a lot of zip ties to secure a extension cord to the frame to power it.(not something I really want to do in the cold winter.)

 

I see ur point. Then maybe just a regular wreath zip tied to the grill would suffice.

 

Yes, even though this was last year, still a pretty cool picture!

 

So i started reading this and looking at pics and after about 30mins i jump in my truck and headed for walmart haha. Got my wreath all done for the grill but i tried zip tying it but they kept breaking because they were sitting in my toolbox and it's 22 degrees... guess i will do it when they are warmer and maybe not at night

 

All the trucks look good. I made do some lights.

 

I plan on doing this pretty soon, if my Prinsu rack for the shell gets in I will be able to do the full truck. Am also planning on putting a wreath on the front of the Pelfreybilt bumper if I get around to it.

 

Thanks - This year I going with a wreath in the bed wired to be a 3rd brake light.

 

I tried those but they came off.
I ran 3/4 pvc pipe around the bed to raise them up.
I'll post a picture tomorrow.

 

I ran them last winter and they worked great. I lost the rest of the pack, so bought some new ones to use for this year. They are holding great again so far.

 

Grill I did last year.

 

Last year ....

 

Just did my bed, got a wreath for the grill but its like 20 degrees and snowing so i will have to wait. And i don't have the right size batteries for it yet!
