This Rugged Ridge Third Brake Light Extension kit is designed to be used either with or without the factory spare tire mount. For use with the factory spare tire mount start with step 1. For use with an aftermarket tire carrier start with step 3.
Notice: Eye and ear protection is required when trimming. Use caution when cutting alloy materials with power tools. Large sparks and fiashing may occur.
Step 1. Remove spare tire and third brake light from the factory spare
tire mount. Remove your factory spare tire mount from the rear tailgate. Mark
the upper portion of the mount to be trimmed. Only trim the area of the mount
that extends upward. Do not cut into the base of the tire carrier.
Step 2. Once the upper portion of the spare tire mount has been trimmed,
you will need to smooth the cutoff portion and apply a couple of coats of
black paint to prevent corrosion.
Step 3A. Mounting third brake light extension with factory spare tire mount.
Mount the third brake light extension using (8) M8 hex bolts, lock washers,
and fiat washers behind the upper portion of the spare tire mount. Use the
supplied spacers between the lower portion of the tire carrier and tailgate.
Step 3A. Mount the third brake light extension without factory spare tire mount.
When using the third brake light extension, you will only use (4) of the M8
hex bolts, fiat washers, lock washers to attach the extension. Mount extension
in the upper (4) mounting holes on the tailgate.
Step 4. Mount the third brake light into the upper portion of the
extension using the supplied phillips head screws and small washers. The
longer screws are used on top
Step 5. Adjust the extension up or down using the multiple position
mounting holes. When adjusting the height, be sure to use all four bolts.
Route the brake light wire back to the tailgate and re-connect.
