[QUOTE="FLGeezer, post: 457726"] Relocated my license plate today. Previous owner didn't have a spare and had the plate on the tailgate where the spare goes. I'm getting a spare so I bought a bracket and mounted it where I'm guessing it was originally. Easy operation except I ran into an issue where there were no snap nuts (I'm retired IT and we called them "cage nuts" for mounting servers in racks) to bolt the new bracket onto the body. I found some online but I was up against a time crunch, as I'm taking the Jeep in to the shop Tuesday to have the 2" body lift removed. This would make accessing those bottom holes a bit more troublesome. Online was $1.10 but wouldn't be here in time. Found some at the local Jeep dealer for $4.50 each. :mad: Bit the bullet and bought 5. Only needed 4 but the way I work on things I usually drop an important screw down a hole. It's only money anyway. Fortunately the wiring and connector for the original license plate light was still inside the body. I used a mixture of 3/4" #14 and #12 hex head sheet metal screws to bolt the bracket to the snap nuts. 2 of the #14s just wouldn't work for some reason so I used 2 #12s.
