Hi everyone,
I have upgraded to 35s and decided to just remove my tire carrier from the tailgate since the tire would not fit anyway. Of course, this leaves me without a third brake light so I need to find an aftermarket third for my tailgate. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can find such a thing? I've done a google search and a lot pop up but they are all $80 or more. I'm just looking for something that functions, not necessarily something that looks awesome.



Any ideas?
Thanks!

 

OrFab or a posion spyder tramp stamp. There us a void in the tailgate you can wire a aftermarket tail light too and it shines through. Looks badass too... I have done it. Pics coming soon

 

If you have a trailer hitch and wiring harness for trailer lights you could always get a brake light that plugs into that harness and fits inside the hitch opening

I've seen them for sale somewhere but can't remember exactly where

 

 

Oh man! I dig that Poison Spyder thing! Where do I get that? The website?

 

Yeah posion spyder. I also did some dremeling and paint to make it red and white. The tramp stamp is just all black with the design cut out.

Honestly i wish OrFabs was out when I did this. OrFabs uses the 8 bolts that used to hold the carrier ( genius) poison spyder has to be riveted on and you have to drill a dozen holes.

Not to mention I have the orfab tire carrier 85207.

 

Forgot to mention. Buy a single tailight from a parts store, cut off the third brake light clip and pull back through tailgate. Pop off the covers on the inside and you can feed the third brake light wires into that large void behind the tramp stamp ( do this before installing tramp stamp) rivet brake light INSIDE tail gate and connect the wires. Mount tramp stamp... Have something cool.

 

I had a set of lugnut hole lights I was using when my spare was on the tire carrier... I run 37's and would no longer carry the spare on the tailgate. Put the lugnut hole lights where the Big rubber bumpers were on the tailgate. Turned out pretty clean,functional and flush mount.

 

That looks awesome, Chaseit1! Where did you find those lugnut hole lights?

 

I believe I got them from either 4Wheel Parts or Quadratec. I believe that most places have them now, maybe even Poison Spyder'
