Wondering what some of you guys run as far as aftermarket mounts and lights and which ones are the best deals for the rear mount.

For the rear, I've run a Rock Hard spare tire bracket and mount and it worked well. Affordable and easy to install. I now run a mount that I made myself and have it attached just above the hitch receiver.

Thanks, glad you like it! Yes, it is a TJ bracket made by Warrior off-road products, I think I bought it from Quadratec. I ran it on my old TJ and always liked it on that rig, so I just tried it on the JK. On the JK the process for attaching it factory sheet metal does require a little drilling. Two (maybe three?) of the factory plate bolt holes locations can be used, but the remaining one (or two?) need to be drilled. It's very solid and although it is not impossible to tear it off, it's going to take serious effort and damage to the rear quarter panel would happen no matter what plate holder you would choose to run.

Very nice bracket as well as the rig! I found on their site does yours have an LED light as well?

I have the rock hard holder on the rear. On the front, I don't have a winch yet so just bolted the front plate over the winch hole.

I'm not sure where I'm going to put the front plate when I get a winch. I've seen different options, but none that I really like.

Eddie do you have specs on the license plate relocation bracket you made. Thinking it is time to relocate mine.

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a cheeseburger today.

It won't work unless you have the EVO carrier or something similar. The tire sits too low on the other carriers and the stock carrier. I've tried.

Overlander ever so observant as always. Thank you for the correction. I guess it will have to be an orginial. We will just have to see how it comes out.:thumb:

The only place to mount it would be under the frame rail which I would rip off. If you mount it above you won't be able to see it because of the spare.

I copied GCM2 because I really liked the idea. However, I just bolted down the plate using the holes at were already there to hold the plastic license plate thing in there, then bent the plate and wrapped it around the corner. Went to autozone and found an LED strip and stuck it on the underside of the taillight and it works perfectly :thumb:
