Thanks!!!! I bought the rigid wiring harness off amazon, it's 29 dollars on there, the hmf light bar mounts I got off his website, they're priced accordingly with competitors mounts, the best part about them is A) the styling B) the lack of wind noise I believe it's quieter than other setups because it sits lower than the top of the windshield. Maybe I just got lucky but so far it's one of my favorite parts on the jeep!

So pictures are slowly trickling in today from justin at RAZR Sharp Customs, for a guy who hasn't fooled with jeeps I think he gets it! He had never heard of a tramp stamp up until Thursday, dropped my jeep off Friday afternoon and by 11 on Saturday morning he'd cranked out his very first tramp stamp! I'm very satisfied with the results! I plan on hiding a third brake light begin the seven slot logo!

So I got some more pictures! I can't begin to tell you how happy I am with the finished product now just have to get it back to my shop and get it painted up! Then I have to drop the muffler and bolt up the center mount! Highly recommend Justin if you're in the market for a top quality custom piece! When I get it all painted up I'll post more pics of the final product and install! The center mount doesn't have the tabs welded on yet btw!

So today was a big day for the jeep..... Got the spare tire carrier mount installed for what hopefully is the last time, them painted the custom built tramp stamp! While waiting on the paint to dry I installed the third brake light. I was rather proud of my self on this one.... I in screwed the factory light from the factory carrier cut the excess plastic off measured and drilled my gate and installed the factory light where the vent used to be! I was worried about exposing the inside of the gate to the elements so I went to our local welding supply store and picked up a forney replacement welding lens, I used two sided tape on the inside of the stamp to create a seal around the glass and adhere it to the stamp! Then used two sided tape to seal around the perimeter of the stamp leaning a opening at the bottom as a drain then bolted it up!!! Very happy with the finished product!!!
