Holiday Lights on Your JT

[Sean_Gladiator_JT]

Question - I would like to put holiday lights on my JT, looking for how to attach them along the roofline and other areas. The Roof has a small water track / gutter that runs the whole length of both doors (above the door swing) - anyone know of any small C clamps or something to attach lighting wire to there and elsewhere (hood / bed)? Looking for ideas. Thanks!

One thing I use for my home is paper binder clips. I am positive that would work along the gutter line. Medium size is ideal. Good luck and post the pictures up please!

I have a question for you, how will you be powering your lights? Wanting to decorate my Gladiator for the holidays as well so I'm interested in finding solutions on securing them to my rig as well as best method of powering them whether using the plug in power source in the back, USB or plain ol' battery powered lights.

Those "Command Strips" my wife gets at Walmart will stick onto anything and hold anything! They blow me away. They're also removable later when you DO want to take them off.

That would work, or an inverter from the cigarette lighter.

I'm planning on powering them with the outlet in the Bed, that way I can turn them on / off from inside. Run them around the top of the bed and gate, up to the 'gutter' around the front and back.

Nice, I don't have that option with my Gladdy, will have to power from inside the cab.
Now you just need to "McGyver" something sturdy and non-damaging to paint or body. Saw something on a JK forum about this with tips:

I used these clips last year, will not hurt the paint.

command strips, small magnets with the loop for a tiny tie-wrap/wire tie

This is an old thread, but seems like a good place to post. I made some custom 3D printed clips for attaching light strings to the JT. There's 1 design for attaching to the gutter on the hard top and 2 designs for the gaps around the hood.
