I'm looking at fitting an LED flood light to the rear of the jimny for a bit of extra light when wheeling of a night, I was thinking of mounting it off a bracket from the wheel carrier or bumper near the number plate, has anyone done this or similar? Photos or ideas welcome.

I'm about to do the same thing. There's three screws behind the spare that the centre brake light mounts to. Mine doesn't have the light so I was gonna make up a mount to put there and put a Narva 4 LED work light on there with my UHF antenna.

I'll be interested to see how yours turns out :)

Having the wiper and squirter behind the spare wheel are gonna make it pain to mount it where I really want

I'll check it out, I was think of a similar mounting to this because above the spare is looking almost impossible

I just replaced the Hella's with these LED's.

Running off the bumper, the lights are not too low, lights up the whole street.
