Hard to see, being a black bracket over a black wheel. But, the bracket is on, license plates lights on, wired up and ready for the back up light bar to on on next.

I would run something other than that trailerhitch light setup. I would have that ripped off on the trail. I have grounded my trailer hitch many times out on the trail. Since you already have a nice set of small lights, Look at the vector offroad back rack, it fits on your spare tire, has two mounts for your lights, a CB antenna, and either 2 rotopax or a axe/shovel combo. Up high, better light spread and out of harms way on the trail.

Sorry it's taken so long to post some pictures. I'm not a trail junkie so I'm not worried about clearance issues. These are 120° beam pattern.

Here are my backup lights. look just like the Hella light above but from Amazon for 25 bucks a piece. They are ip67 waterproof and bright as heck. I believe the 1800 lumens they claim. The way they are mounted they are higher than the trailer hitch so I don't expect to tear them up. THey are wired to a switch inside (not the backup lights)

Well my light isn't as custom as some in this forum section, but here it is. I'll have a better idea on how well it illuminates after dark tonight. Sorry for the upside down one. I'll try and re-submit right side up. For you iPad folks easy to do. For those desktop members, stand on your head. Lol Duh!Attachment 539540Attachment 539543
