This is what we’re supposed to use this outlet for, right?

I hope my wife doesn't see this. I will be doing it next year.

Clever! Made me smile. I showed my wife the photo and she wants me to do the same.

Merry Christmas, MTC!

Well, the truck would be easy for the cops to find!

Next year I'll try to run my light-o-rama christmas light show.

What did you use to secure them down on the bed of the truck? Looks great, fantastic idea which I will gladly do if my Maverick comes in before Christmas........of 2022.

Just some extra hand clamps I had laying around. They’re pretty strong.

Depending on what the cops are like in your area and local laws about what types and colors of lights you can have, you may get pulled over if you have those on while driving.

If that happens give us the officers name.

Fantastic idea. I'm stealing it immediately.

Very interesting bed cover, nicely done! How are the Al profiles held on to the rails?

If you swapped out the bulbs so they were all yellow/orange/red lights then I would think you'd be pretty safe. Blue would be the one that would get some cops into a twist. Green is often reserved for funeral processions. White lights can only face forward. I don't see how it could be considered anything different than marker lights if you stuck with yellow/orange/red and they don't flash.

Just tiedowns to the bed. I needed to make something in 1 day before a road trip

Now decorating is the minority and you have to really search to find holiday cheer

This site is nice if your area supports it!

Ok how do I add the outlet to the bed, I’m assuming there is a kit already to pigtail in! I must have this to spread my holiday cheer!!!
