    I doubt that. They go in the front corner.

    These only work at the corners by the cab.

    Do you mean something like under the bumper or on the bedrails near the tailgate?

    Chad, what's the plan after C&C? We going to your place to install ditch lights/brackets, and the aux panel?

    Received a couple goodies today in the mail.

    -Rigid Covers.

    Still don't know which ones I like better.

    And a bed rail flag pole mount made by a member on here. I'll have to look up his username. I need to source some t-slot nuts and bolts to mount it up. And may end up getting it powdercoated as well.

    So am I.

    On another note, I'm still waiting for the Texas Harvey ZFD drop! If you are able to get in on it whenever it is, grab an extra. I'll pay you for it. Things have been busy lately and I've been slacking on keeping up with a lot of that.

    *And the IRMA ZFD

    I know what I'd like but it does exist, or I haven't found it yet. I'm just looking for a dedicated light that is some what flexible that I can move or angle while working on stuff when out doors camping or other stuff.

    Are you looking for something like this that can be mounted in the bed rail by cab or by tailgate for a light?

    By the tailgate, if that pivots it would probably work. I'd just have to find a way mount it next to back of bed for when needed. Thanks!

    Those are the little brackets I made to bolt in the bedrails. The bracket that the light sits on does pivot. Try and find a pic of something similar to what you are thinking about. I'm very curious lol.

    I was gonna say if a single bracket style like the pic I sent is what you're after, I'll give those to you once my corner brackets are back from powdercoat. I made those specifically for led pods on bed rails and won't have any use for them after.

    Thanks but don't sweat it for now. I'm looking for something I can setup in a pinch when needed, not a pernament mount type of deal to keep back end of bed open for use.

    Had a great day at tacos and tacos with everyone, even got to knock out a couple mods on chads truck:D Finally got his aux panel and ditch lights all set up and his new custom 3rd brake light. Also got to hang out on lake Travis with good people. Looking forward to the next meet and hopefully @CarmenSanDiego will be able to make it:fistbump:
