decorating the truck for christmas.....

i know some of you on here have decorated the bed of your tacoma with christmas lights using the outlet in the bed. how did you attach your lights to the bed of the truck?

 

duct tape, zip ties

 

I just used zip ties through the bed rail, theres holes on the underside of the rail I just put a zip tie on a few of those.

 

good idea. is there any way to attach them to the top sides of the bed though? like where the bedliner folds over the top of the bed?

 

Wasn't that pic in the banner for Christmas last year?

 

I think I'm going to do this for Christmas this year. I assume you can only have them on while parked?

 

I guess you can use some kind of double sided tape or something along those lines.

Wasnt that picture, it was another member on here who did the same thing.

You can have them on while driving, its not legal in maryland but I never got pulled over for it.

 

i guess ill figure something out, unless anybody else has any ideas?

 

bump?

 

i think it depends on the color...and the state...i know blue and red are a no-no pretty much anywhere while driving.

 

Yeah, I would probably do white anyways to match my truck. I was speaking more of the ability to do so, I thought I read in the manual you had to be in park to operate the outlet?

 

i don't think you need to be in park, but I'm not sure

 

i dont think you have to be in park, but ive never used it out of park before so idk

 

Funny, I just happened to have done mine today...

 

lookin good ilg

 

I did this a couple years ago with multi-colored lights and the plug in the bed. I just used duct tape and it looked sorta tacky and didn't last very long. I think ilg has got it right, that looks good! And yes the power outlet will work while driving, it just switches to 100w mode instead of the full 400w.
