    I plan on putting Christmas lights on the bed of the truck. I also have an OEM tonneau cover on the bed of my truck. Question for members that have this same setup and had Christmas lights installed. How did you guys get the lights to stay in one place? Do you use clear tape to just tape it to the side of your bed or did you use something else to get the lights to stay in place?

    I use a combination of duct tape, blue painters tape, and zip ties; Here are some pictures I took last weekend...

    My truck went in for a frame replacement this afternoon and I only had to take one strand of lights off!

    The wreath is ziptied to the bull bar and I've two stranded wrapped around the bull bar as well; All of light sets are battery-operated because I don't feel like running a cord through the rear slider like I did in 2011 and 2012...
