That's not a holiday truck! That's a Christmas truck! I used to make a fresh wreath every year and put it on my old Dually, but haven't done that in a few years.

I have thought about gettin a string of led christmas lights to run around the truck. I have the inverter behind the center console and leds dont consume much power at all. Only thing is how would I stick them to the truck so they stay on at 70 mph

I've seen SUV's and vans etc put lighted garland down the roof racks. If you had bed rails you could do it that way to. I went with a clear light wreath to avoid any problems with Johnny Law.

I have thought about maybe runing them around the frame under the body of the truck. Mine is lifted so you would be able to see them. I was going to go with a pure white or white and blue. Not to worried about the laws around here. They just think its cool.

i saw those and thought about using them but the wife said what if some one removes them as a joke then you got the Grinch going air born doing 70 MPH. and granted the zip ties can be cut but it takes just a little more effort!
