No fancy colors like @saucebox, but the kingpin 40" bar fits perfectly at the bottom of the rear window on the upper split gate. Dimmable, rotatable, and plenty of light across the tailgate space. We usually run it with way less output than the test shot below:View attachment 4000943
Do you have close up pictures of how you mounted this 40" bar on the rear? How is it wired? I'd love to do this.
 
No mud, just sun, surf, sand and authentic crispy fish tacos.

Gorgeous weather here in San Diego CA this weekend.

Sure thing, here's a few details:

-Mounted onto the rear plastic, panhead bolts that sit flush in the kingpin mount secured with lock nuts (M4 I think?). The switch behind the handle is a door override (Door Courtesy Light Disable Switch - Pic Heavy - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/door-courtesy-light-disable-switch-pic-heavy.993952/) to disable the puddle lights at camp.

-Wired through the cable sleeve at the top DS of the tailgate, this wasn't fun but lots of wire pulling lube helped (foaming w/ applicator straw).
-Wiring routed across the top of the roof to PS (this piece of molding has 4? clips, pull straight down to remove), switch on the PS side for easy access. No issues with the touch switch (it works with gloves), but I do like the idea of physical buttons on their new rotary dimmer.

-Run to a fuse box secured with velcro in the first aid kit compartment (smaller of the two on PS) that also powers the 12" kingpins on the emuwings and red LEDs where the third row seatbelt bolts were. Wired to a female DC 5521 port just below the rear PS cupholders and powered by an Ecoflow via male to male DC 5521 cable. Would be quite easy to run off the starter battery if you were so inclined as they don't have much draw, I just preferred to keep things isolated.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any additional questions!
