[QUOTE="Dirty Dog, post: 456505, member: 24042"] If you mounted it behind, you'd mess up the alignment and seal of the liftback. When you added the bracket, you increased the thickness behind the cover. Opening the liftback caused the cover to contact the metal and work loose. I know this, because the same thing happened when I installed hinge-mounted lights on Mrs. Dogs JKUR. My solution was to touch the top edge of the new cover to a belt grinder and clearance it a bit. Didn't take much. Problem solved. [/QUOTE]
