    One more. I donated my old tree to the office. Lab glassware, shop towels and safety observation cards make up the ornaments. Usually I grab three or four spare lab coats and wrap them around the base for a skirt.

    It works flawlessly. Last year they set it off twice on the 1st night. Not once after that....the whole month the tree was up.

    So far they haven't even tried to go near it today. I have an old RadioShack battery powered motion alarm protecting the lighthouse tree in the den

    So I’m putting my lights on my Taco tomorrow. How do some of you attach your lights to the bed? I have a tonneau cover... is stuffing the after wires underneath enough?

    Ah okay. I can probably do that under the cover. Thanks! The weather-proof aspect doesn’t really matter to me so I’ll try it and post pics tomorrow.

    In addition to the movable cleats, there are holes in the bottom of the side rails you can run zip-ties through
