Question Tailgate Light Bar??

Hey I just registered and I was wondering if anybody has put that tailgate led light bar on their dakota? I have a 2003 QC 4.7L 2wd! I know that there is no space between the tailgate and the bumper soo I was considering of mounting it on the bottom of the tailgate, anybody have any suggestion for me?

Here is what i am talking about.....http://www.jcwhitney.com/GARAGE-PRO-...7424_10101.jcw

Thanks

rollpan first, then you'll have room

mounting it to the tailgate will look really really hillbilly

you could also mount it in the back window

True I didn't even think about a rollpan good idea!

It would look really cheap, also I am afraid of drilling into the tailgate.

Yeah I have seen people putting it in the windows but you still have to get it to stay there cuz the 3M tape it comes with will not last down here in Texas. Sooo idk what to do!

I made a L plate that bolts to the bottom of my roll up tonneau cover. I just removed the 3M pads and bolted the bar to the plate.
