    Hello

    I was wondering what length will be suitable to have light under the tailgate. Some say 48inchs and other say 60inches. Yes, I could go to the truck an measure but its a xmas gift for the husband :annoyed:and he always has the truck and running out of time so it could be here in time, Thank you again for all your help

    Oh look, another mod....
    C'mon, a GOOD wife would know this! I just measured my truck (21' TRD Offroad), and it's 59 inches wide. You can get a 60" and cut it if you need (the instructions even say you can), or you can get a 48".

    Get two 24 inch strips so that you don't cover the spare tire access.

    :D

    I think I've done pretty well, I placed 4 ATS on it, I've tinted all windows with sun band, I've actually found grill lights for it, Found a tunnel cover for it, got that fancy tail pipe cover, I installed the rain gaurds, I think I've done pretty well LMFAO. All that's left is side steps and possible a lift kit. I think he's pretty lucky to have a wife like me :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

    Some creative mounting, and it can still be avoided. My spare is fully accessible
