    baby steps. LOL ....... All-Pro rock sliders w/kickouts.



    Yes I smashed one of the LEDs in the door so I soldered out two sockets on each side where the lights pass by the doors.

    I'm 6'6" so I don't use the sliders as steps.

    Great thread! Planning on picking up a string of lights for the bed.

    Quick question for those with a short bed - What length (feet) of lights are you guys using to string along the bed rails?

    Use a inverter from your cig lighter. I would plug the inverter in (hide in glove box or under seat) Then run a extention from the inverter. I know on access cab (behind the back, under the window) if you take off the back panel there is a air vent that a cord can be run through into the bed.
