Anybody installed truck bed lighting ?

Not sure how to secure on side bed wall or underneath inside, top lip.

Most use the 3M sticky pads, I just don't think they will last, stay secured.

Im goining to use the strip type of lights

Almost all trim and emblems on modern trucks are secured with this stuff. The trick is to get the metal surface clean (rubbing alcohol) and install on a hot day.

You can mount it with epoxy, glue, or even 3m marine (4000) I believe is the least permenent.

I'd consider mounting some led spot lights around as well.

I've used all and the 3m sticky pads.

Ive gotta Tunneau cover so its great for seeing huntin, fishin, tailgate shite when its dark

Ive already got 12 V run from battery with a perko switch in the rear, for 12 V hot.

Ive gotta a "rough" spray on bed liner, Tundra, stock spray that is like sand paper.

I don't think the 3'Ms will stick. Yea I can and do use 3M 5200 for all kinds of shite but its messsssyy.

I don't know the answer to your question....but those strip lights under the rail are a pretty sweet idea....
