    This thread has inspired me to put a tree in the bed of my truck. I bought multi-colored lights that have a remote control (can turn on/off, have lights flash at diff speeds or adjust brightness from inside the cab). The copper wire will help bend around branches and hold in place.

    I also bought an adjustable flag pole stand. I'll mount it to some lumber, lay it in the bed and put the tree in it so I can raise/lower it easily. Open the tonneau cover, raise the tree and go. Reverse that to lock it down. Walmart has a 4ft plastic tree for $20. I'll likely have to mod it a bit to keep it together but it shouldn't be an issue.

    Well this didn't last long.
    I tested these at highway speeds and I don't feel confident leaving them up all season.

    Back to the drawing board.

    That sucks. Props for not just leaving though, and one flying off into someone's windshield.

    Cool idea, first time I've seen someone use candy canes.

    HA, I just did this last month but saw a better option and about to put different lights in. It actually worked pretty good, and the tube lights fit in the channel where the cleats were.

    Just got 100' of LED lights with a small solar panel for $14 with Bradsdeals. I did the plug in ones last year but this would have them lit all night in the driveway! Says they go 8 hours when charged.
