What was done to your JK this week?
Yea it worked out pretty well. It isn't quite as bright as the stock one but it is right in the line-of-site of anyone behind so it still works great. I flush cut the factory bracket off and sanded it smooth before retouching the paint. This is kinda important because this area is more visible once this real estate is opened. I used a 3 1/2" wide by 12" long piece of 10g(1/8") aluminium. With my rim the bend was put at 4 5/8" from the top. I cut the bottom off at 3". Drilled thru holes in the new mount and drilled and tapped three M5 holes in the carrier. The light called for a 2 5/8" hole, but I used a 2 1/2" hole saw and it worked perfectly! Tech-tip... Warm the aluminium before you bend it. The piece I got had a high silicate level, (as most cheap stuff does), and I was worried it would crack. Steel would be no problem but I didn't have any.

Try using this story, maybe it will still work for you.
