I am finding that I need to get things out of the jeep at night,
short of keeping a flashlight just for that,
show me your mods for rear lighting!
 
I jut threw one of these on my tailgate, low tech, low cost (<$10), attaches with a magnet. Maybe not the best solution but works for my needs.

Not sure if this will fit the TJ or not, but my buddy has one on his JK and it's absolutely amazing!

That thing gives you all the light you could want and more. First time I saw it in use I was amazed at how well it works.
I really like the look of this. It looks like I need to go take some measurements. there is a remark that it is under 39"

well it looks like it should fit, but it would have to be up off the bottom off the glass door, I am also not sure how farthe curvature is off, and whether a heat gun would resolve the issue

It's absolutely awesome. I was really impressed when I saw it. It also looks factory too.
 
I carry a Milwaukee Rover rechargeable light in kaizen foam in the recess on my dash.

Super handy , and has a magnetic end so I can stick it anywhere.
 
This thread inspired me to be more creative with my rear cargo area lighting... i had a dome light from an M60 series tank. Had it for years, but had forgot about it till this thtead.... had to dig deep in the parts shed for it!
