The LED tubes are VERY directional... Did you get 2 tubes or 4? What sizes are they?
I run two 4' tubes and two 3' tubes. They're both under the frame and zip tied to the sliders. The tubes are set side-by-side, with the "bias" of the 3' tube towards the front fo the truck. The inside tube is pointed a bit off-center to the inside of the truck, and the outside tube is pointed a bit to the outside... That'll give you the best "flood" coverage.
One thing to watch out for... try to protect the tubes as best you can - they're pretty fragile and if you take a hit on a log/rock, they'll crack, and when they do, the impact will generally be great enough to trash the LEDs right behind the impact, which will tend to render the whole tube useless. Believe me, I know.
Install wise, the two thread that Photoleif found will help you loads.

Hi Kyle;
One of our illustrious leaders around these parts just got done going down that path:

Great idea, Great product, Great results, though the $30/lamp price can get hairy for some of us.
