    Please mount them to the underside of the tie down rails and the center strip mounts under the metal tube (if not fitted with a center tie down rail).

    Will do, I did add the front rail.

    I think I might have bought them almost two years ago!! I need to do my aux fuse panel as well.

    Do these light up the tailgate enough or is there a better option?

    Yes they are bright but if you want even brighter I can make a dual strip for the rear door.


    Picture is a single light strip:

    Hey @mattgecko have you considered making a light bar for sport hood scoops like Spartan X used to do? I’d love to have one but he went outta business the second I was gonna pull the trigger. I know it’s simple but my wiring illiterate self knows better than to try to DIY

    How did you attach to carpet?
    Is attaching to the top or the side window frame a better option?
    What simple dimmer switch is recommended?

    The "hook side of Velcro is applied to the back of the light strips. Any 12 volt dc dimmer can be wired in.

    Are all the strips tied together or are you splicing three different strips together than to the switch?
