Did you decide what you'll do for a third brake light?

I assume the TF extension bracket won't work due to the way the Exp One mounts & the Exp One light with the AEV wheels is probably a no go.

Maybe the AEV CHMSL?
Thanks for the compliments

I solved the brake light dilemma awhile back with a quick visit to ebay. Its a simple stick on brake light that I put on the back window right above the rear wiper.

It was $12, if you want to check it out it is ebay Item number: 360140967404.

I added a few images of the brake light to the gallery below.

Do you have to have a 3rd brake light to be legal now?

Great bumper. It looks really stout and I like the design of the tire carrier.

I also like your choice in wheels/tires and your third brake light solution. Keep up the good work.

Even on my stock (for now) Rubicon, I hate the stock third brake light. I might buy one of those LED strips for mine. Looks great.

Whats the lead time like on those bumpers? Trying to plan my buildup schedule.

Think the Rock Hard 4x4 front bumper would be a good match for this?

Son of a....



Mine is like 4 months old and has the old style swing arm. I wonder how I'll be able to mount the gerry cans?

EDIT:

I just spoke with Sarah at Exp-One and it looks like the gerry can mounts will be available for your (new) style swing arm before mine (old). That's half of the reason I bought the bumper/tire carrier is to run the gerry cans.

I also have the gen 1 rear and managed to get the high lift mount somehow last year.

The nice thing about E-1's Gerry can is that it can go ANYWHERE. I ratchet strap mine to the spare, or the rollcage whenever I go wheelin.
I'd actually prefer that over a mount- since I only wheel 2-3 times a month (like most wheelers with jobs)

I also have a gen 1 version of this bumper and absolutely love it! It works great and is solid as hell. I have banged on mine quite a bit with no issues. Recently installed the hi-lift mount and it is also very well made.

The new version looks great.
