When I am getting ready for work, I often find shelter under the lift gate, especially when it tis raining. With the hours that I am working, I find myself getting ready in the dark; digging through my bin of gear, sometimes even trying to through a little polish on my boots. Somebody on the forum had some pictures posted, off related topic, but I saw a light mounted on his lift gate… Kudos for the idea, I can’t remember where I saw who posted it, but thank you. Now with my gate up, using a pair of flood lights, I no longer have to get ready in the dark. I also relocated my license plates. The rear plate is wrapped around the corner panel, the pic doesn’t do it any justice. The front plate has been moved from on the grill to under the fair-lead. Oh, and I got my ‘A’ Pillar gauges installed.
I saw an owner do this same thing but used the headlight circles for the mounting location. Looked like the headlights come on when they lit up. It's a nice mod, especially when you're camped out and digging through gear in the dark.
This is a great idea! We often go night skiing and this would be great for getting gear on or putting it away. What lights did you use?
