I know the liners are fantastic for keeping everything you put in the back from marking it, but I found they chafe the friggin **** out of the paint, so this time round I went for the OEM mat and tailgate liner. Paint is the same as day one. I found using a couple of large polystyrene box,s with lids from the local fruit shop are ideal for holding stuff in them and come in handy when carting frozen **** home when shopping or putting some drinks and ice in them when going on a run, and the buggers don't slide around, cheers
Great idea with the styro boxes!

Dude please explain in complete detail how to do that. That's awesome and so handy to have if camping!

Hey Buddy, It is quite easy and doesn't drain my battery at all. This is going to be brief, ill take some pictures afterwards so it makes more sense.
Simple buy some LED Strips off eBay or where ever locally. I believe I bought 3 meters and had extra to cut off. It has a adhesive backing to stick on the tray sides (clean the tray sides before sticking them on)
Basically this LED Strip - Ebay
I got some twin core wire from work and fed it through the baby seat latch hole (removed the baby seat latch)
Wired it into my Sub power and ground which is located on the amp behind my passanger seat (was too lazy to wire it to the battery etc) wired a light up switch using basic electronic knowledge [nothing special lol]
Hid all the wires in conduct and tucked it, You cant see it once the seat is back to rest. It was honestly a lazy set up but it works a treat. Lights up my whole front yard/street.
