3rd Brake Light Relocation Bracket

[Tye]

Has anyone seen one of these brackets that works for the Bronco Raptor? The KR and DV8 do not work with the Raptor. Im looking for one as Id like to raise the 3rd brake light to actually clear a 39" tire. I recognize that size tire fits as is, but the 3rd brake light itself is obstructed. I want it to be clear like how it sits with the 37.

Right, that one looks like the 33"/35" bracket from KR Off-Road. You would have to bolt two brackets together or fabricate an XXL version if you wanted to go that route.

What are you doing about bumper interference with a 39" tire?

It might be better to do something like JCR Offroad's relocation kit that goes in the center of the tire. It is not pretty, but functional. Exp-One makes a relocation kit also, which is much cleaner IMHO, and it would not matter what size tire is mounted.

The one i posted is for the standard bronco and can clear all the way up to a 41" tire.

There is no bumper interference with a 39 ko2.

I have considered moving to the tire center with a baja designs rtl mini, but i like the look of the oem setup.

I just found out from RPG they are making a mount for our braptors to
solve this issue

Does anyone have a suggestion on relocating the 3rd brake light to in front of the spare? I understand it'll have to come off every time I change the tire but I plan to install a disconnect in the wiring to facilitate that. I was hoping for something that bolts to the spare tire mount and has an arm that extends through the spare rim that I can mount my Novsight 3rd brake light to.

Not sure what Novsight light you have but if ya want it off the spare tire mount there are a bunch of companies that make mounts. See what mount may work. You can always drill a new hole in some of these mounts.

I’m not familiar with Novsight brake light either but here is my set up with a Morimoto 5 Stop brake/running light and 2 diode dynamic reverse/chase lights mounted on the Fast Intentions bracket. This bracket can mount a lot and has been solid as a rock in tough spirited driving conditions.

I disconnect 3 Deutsch watertight connectors and two Torx Security bolts to remove the spare.

Hot tip whatever you choose. Put the appropriate 1/4” drive socket or bit you’ll require for removing the bracket in your Raptor tool kit. It beats yard sale-ing your cargo area and or tools when you get a flat.

I’ve found that it takes two minutes to remove or replace the assembly….IF you don’t have to search for the appropriate sized Torx security bit

Lol, so true about having the proper tool easily accessible! It's more time consuming with our set-ups like this, but I still like it. And I have my race radio antenna on mine that I don't ever have to remove when parking in my garage. Bonus!

Good tip! I have the Bronco tool set plus the black one that comes with the car both strapped to the rear roll bar by the back window so they stay accessible.

Thanks guys! I was hoping for one where the mount bracket goes behind the tire...for example, the light bracket goes on first, then the spare so you use the same lug nuts as are already there. I was thinking the bracket would have an arm that comes out through the spare wheel openings so that I only have to disconnect the light and then the lug nuts but I guess it's six of one, half dozen of the other whether the bracket is mounted behind or in front of the spare. But thank you again for the suggestions, rather than fabricate one, I'll just go with one of the ones you guys suggested.
