Raising the third brake light on a Jeep Wrangler

[TerryMason]

When upgrading the size of the spare tire on your Jeep Wrangler, the third brake light often becomes hidden behind the spare. It's easy to fix this by using some form of spacers and longer bolts to raise the height of the brake light.

You'll need longer bolts (just take one of the existing ones to the local hardware store and get ones that are an inch or two longer).
One foot of PVC pipe
A handsaw to cut the pipe
Some paint



First measure how high you'd like to raise your third brake light. Most likely you'll need another 1 or 2 inches (for a 33" tire).



Then cut your PVC pipe to length



Spray the pieces black (or any other color).



Now, unbolt your brake light



And install the new spacers, bolting it up with the new bolts.

Thanks Y2KTJ.
I'm the admin here, but I can't really take credit for this tip. Like most of the things that I've done writeups about here on Jeepz.com, I heard about them from other people first. I just dig documenting the stuff I do.
