I installed my rear window LED light strip a couple of weeks ago, but I finally rewired it to turn on when the glass is opened. I used a magnetic relay switch that can handle a small load and tapped power from the unused 1-touch sliding roof (pins 13 and 14 on the back connector).

I’m looking hard at getting that evo tire carrier, how do you like it? And does it eliminate the tailgate rattle on the trail?
Thanks
Roky

I plugged in a working Power Magic Pro (3rd one ordered since the first two were defective). I now have a working Blackvue dash cam! Wooooooooohoooooooo!

Wired the brawlee led light bar to a switch and ran the wires in the hard top so the clips didn’t have to be used.

Replaced the spare carrier with the @TeraFlex Alpha HD...it's a nice improvement. I really liked the Jeep grille CHMSL, but I didn't like knowing I'd have to remove 4 Torx bolts (2 sizes) and the lugs just to get the spare off. The quick-release is... well, just that. Makes removing the spare easier. Know your wheel offset... the minimum supported is 5", max 8".

Amongst basic tools, you'd need a torque wrench that supports 100 ft-lbs, a couple of 22mm wrenches (an adjustable works), a teeny-tiny 1.5mm hex key, T8 Torx, and a 12-pt 10mm socket. The random sizes threw me off, but luckily I already had them. @BernJLUR was right... tiny screws.

Since it's adjustable to accommodate larger tire sizes and forward/back, the stock tailgate bump stops are all you need so no pvc & rubber tip extensions needed. If you're like me and don't like seeing blanks on the spare, you want to make sure you leave room for a couple of bolts. If you fill in the blanks, depending on what you use to fill them, they may interfere with the quick-release tab. Remove them first & then flip the tab.

Looks great! Any idea if this works with the Mopar hinge reinforcement kit? Also, is the rear camera extended to clear displaying part of the rim when in reverse?
