Default Installed new Body Armor rear bumper

Just installed the new rear bumper and tire carrier. Because I removed the third tail light during the installation I have the hole remaining in my tailgate from the wiring. Is there a way to plug this hole easily? Thinking maybe a CB Antenna would work through there.

Not sure if this is a "new" bumper from Body Armor but it does have a standard tire carrier instead of the one they offer that allows for jerry cans between the tire and the jeep. i will post pictures later today.

It went through a grommet, right? I left the grommet in place and filled the hole w/ black RTV!

I was thinking about that but I thought someone maybe found a flat grommet to fit that hole somewhere...

Are you happy with the latch system?

I'd decide on this but I have not seen the latch until just now..
