I promised pics and have not delivered. my apologies... Will try to get some up this weekend.

You can't see the 3rd brake light at all with the bracket and I could only put it on one way. If the hole pattern would accomodate and up and down position I think I could have gotten it on with some more room for the 3rd brake light.

My research tells me that there I'm not breaking GA law without it visible but I do worry about some A-hole texting run into me..

Bump for new ideas or pictures. I had my 35x12.50s mounted this morning and the spare won't fit.

If you are using the stock mount, you will need an adapter that moves the wheel up and out. RC, Teraflex, and Expedition One make them. I picked up a RC spacer and it works fine and is inexpensive

Well I ended up with the TF relocation bracket. Once I mounted my 35x12.50R17 BFG on stock Moab rim, I realized I would definitely need longer bump stops. I got the Daystars in this week and mounted them today. They barely make contact with the tire. What's next? I've considered carrying my spare on my Congo Cage but I think my five tire rotation would become a pain in the but. I have looked at the new TeraFlex carrier and others but they seem expensive for what they are. I've also considered changing the rear bumper to something like the Poison Spyder Brawler, as it accommodates a 35" tire on the stock carrier but I wonder if my Congo Cage would look weird where the rear bracket meets the frame. I'm about to go crazy. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Pics of the Daystar bump stops. I can spin them with my hand.

I'm running stock Moab wheels. Be very careful with the bump stops. The tit that goes in the door is very fragile.
