The third brake light (CHMSL) can absolutely be mounted to a movable piece of body work.

Not only is it on the Bronco and Wrangler, it is on nearly every vehicle with a rear lift gate.

Yeah i think i was thinking of the main 2 brake lights, but the ones on the bronco are technically unmovable arnt they?

I'm totally on board with the spare tire delete/relocate and will investigate this when mine shows up.

Delete the spare, center the license plate and mount the cam there. Works great on my motor home.

No thanks. I’m keeping my spare. Have fun being stuck on the side of the interstate waiting for AAA.

More likely in some field or forest where no one else drives by.

In the old days this would have been a problem - no a days we have Uber and cell phones, not to mention the on board air compressor and tire patch kits.

The doomsdayer no spare tire crew is vocal here though. The ones that can't comprehend that you wouldn't have a spare tire. Where every trip is fraught with flat tires, desolate locations, no chance for roadside repair, and no chance for rescue for weeks.

Everyone gets it.... You take a chance without a spare but it's not a big deal. Not every trip is to the middle of nowhere.

If you carry your spare that's cool. It should be of no consequence to you if someone else doesn't.

I'll carry mine on my Bronco but I've been driving for years without one with my current truck.

I like spare tire delete then custom dual swing out rear bumper to mount more stuff and take weight off the tail gate

HA! I can plug and inflate a flat faster than most people can 1, get the jack out and jack up the vehicle, 2 remove tire, 3, unmount the spare and mount on vehicle, 4, put the flat on the back, 5, and lastly lower vehicle and store jack. I will be long gone. I only carry a spare in the back country. Besides, I am to damn old to be lifting 35's why I carry a ratchet strap, professional plug kit, and a good air pump.

What is the ratchet strap for? or is that too much of a personal question?

Old school recovery tool, in case the flat breaks the bead, you put the strap around the tire and tighten it up good, holds the bead against the rim to seal in the air until you get enough air pressure to do the job. Most portable air compressors do not have enough CFM to do that job.

That's actually what I was thinking but thanks for the confirmation - glad to know that works outside of my thoughts.

Just keep following the GPS on the map, I'm just over the large rock outcropping....What, your Crown Vic doesn't have a front or rear locker? Just keep coming, you'll see me down in the ravine.

I spend my time thinking if the Black Diamond can go where I need, this guy doesn't even screw around.

Hats off, just watched some more videos of him.
