Added a set of Rigid Ignite Backup lights to help with rear lighting in reverse and be able to switch them on from aux switches. Also added a set of studs to replace the two that Jeep forgot to add...
First, cut a couple of pieces of bar stock to use as light mounts. Primed and painted them black.
Drilled holes for the missing studs and then for the light mounts. Epoxied in the extra studs.
Took some time to feed the Rigid wires through the existing sleeve/tailgate hole. That required trimming the rubber plug that goes through the tailgate and some lube...
Wired the lights into an Aux switch, the reverse lights and a switch panel on the Outback Tailgater as described here: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/outback-tailgater-w-switch-plate.29587/#post-689955
Re-mounted the spare, added the missing lug nuts, and attached 3rd brake light and bike rack.
