I was out playing in the woods this weekend and must have rubbed my license plate mount on something, it was loose and I pressed it back on, throughout the week it has been loose several times, I went through an automatic car wash today and afterwards the last of the clips were broken off/missing...

A replacement isn't terribly expensive but it does hang out there ready to be broken again... better ideas out there?

Thanks,
Jon

 

Here's one idea: Rock Hard 4X4 RH4007 - Rock Hard 4x4 Parts License Plate Relocation Bracket for 76-13 Jeep® CJ, Wrangler YJ, TJ, TJ Unlimited, JK & Unlimited JK - Quadratec

 

Relocate it to the spare then you don't have to worry about it anymore

 

I'm not sure if I am legally required to light it... I guess I need to check on that.

 

Yes. In all 50 states you must have a light for the plate. There are many relocation brackets out there and most have some sort of optional light kit.

 

I thought seriously about doing a spare tire mount (they look good!) but then I thought if I needed my spare, I'd probably be having a bad day and I won't really be in the mood to piss with removing the plate and light as well as the spare. And I sure wasn't going to pay $100 for a kit.

Bought a plate mount and a light and screwed it to the bumper. Done.
