I removed my spare tire and relocated into the cab of my jeep. However, the place where the stock carrier was mounted is all dented from the carrier. I am looking for a plate that I can put on there that RETAINS the factory bolts. I do not want to rivet my tailgate.

I do not plan on relocating my license plate to the middle though. Any thoughts? I liked TimTheToolMan's 1941 plate on the back.

In post #5 of that thread you just posted. I really like that plate. Where can I get one?

Another thing I did think of was putting some LED lights in the bolt holes for a third brake light. Any thoughts on that?

Just the two top bolt holes. Would those cheap LED "bolts" from Pep Boys work? I would have to reach inside to wire it up though. I do not have a problem with that.

Swag tailgate kit, but he sells the unpainted plate and aluminum plate behind it separately.

I think the Vector plate uses the stock hole locations. Check that one out.
I just ordered the Tramp Stamp and going to drill new holes to use the stock bolt location.

Thanks all.

1. I can't find the Swag plate anywhere. I looked at swagoffroad and can't find it. JeepSwag too...

2. And the vector plate is nice, but I am also looking at getting red LED bolts. instead of relocating my license plate.

It's the tailgate kit, plate can be bought separately see below tailgate ordering options. (Vent cover only)

Do those plate relocations have a light over the plate? I think (at least in NH) you need a light over the plate.

Yeah. I am in NY and I am not sure about the third brake light passing inspections too.

I found the swag plate, but I dont want to rivet it on.

How are you people measuring and drilling the plates for stock bolt holes?
