Here are a few. You can see some tabs that are "empty". I had a set of Rigid LEDs as well, but I removed them for a repair.
If you need some better angle, let me know. No problem.

Anyone done anything w/o the tire carrier? I have two navigator work lights that I want to mount to my tailgate (I don't have a carrier or spare/mounted in the back of my 2 door bc got ripped off crawling) but I don't have a good location that I like. :(

Do you think that if I were to order the Teraflex CB antenna mount, chop it and extend it (square tubing or flat?) and weld the bent tab to the extension it would be strong enough? What do you guys think?

The idea is to get the light up higher and I'd prefer to have it angled to the side a bit beyond the spare tire. I'd be sure to make the extension long enough to that it'll clear 35's when that day comes...

That is a great idea. It looks good too.

Any flex or is it pretty steady?

Thanks! It only took me a year to come up with the solution, ha! Its pretty solid. It does flex just a touch, but not enough to where its going to affect anything. After looking and looking I was inspired by the TF cb antenna bracket, bought it, and chopped it up to produce this. I'm happy with the end result...and happier when its wired up! Now I just need to twist my brother's arm for some assistance on that task.
