After finding stress cracks in my tire carrier I decided to remove it and store the spare in the back. My problem was what was I to do with the 3rd brake light since it is my daily driver, this is what I came up with.
This is the area I sat and stared at thinking if this does not work, I wonder how much a back door cost
Separated the light from the main carrier
Cut away the excess plastic
Cut and used the main light holder as a template for drilling my holes
Removed the inside cover and moved wiring.
Out lined the area to cut away
Would like to have had a zip blade for my angle grinder but nothing was open at this point so the reciprocating saw was what I had to use.
Rear light installed
Just had to seal the edges and I was done.
And this is the finished look on the trail
