Can I hide this with corner guards?

[Chevy Dave]

You could also probably remount your plate on a new holder with the rugged ridge or bushwackers guards if you can find a takeoff. Doesn't look like the panel is too bent behind the plate holder.

So with the rugged ridge I could use a stock plate holder?

 

[Chevy Dave]

the license plate mount is included, they stick on with 3m tape so prepping is important..but it's easy to prep

Good to know it is included. Do I have to mount the light then?

Yep, and the light is connected to the plate holder. The wiring is just a quick disco so it's plug and play.

That is exactly what I needed to see. Thank you so much for your help!
Where is the best place to source those guards and a new holder?

 

[Chevy Dave]

Also, are the rugged ridge guards set up to take the stock holder or do I have to drill and such?

If you ever make it to Wisconsin you're drinking all night on me!
You just saved me a lot of needless worry and undoubted dollars at a shop.
Thank you so much!

Lol.. I'll be on the other side of the big lake I'm the fall(MI). Maybe we can meet up somewhere and do some wheeling.

11651.02 is for 2 doors and 11651.01 is for four doors according to rugged ridges web site.

Might be possible. Stay in touch!

Sweet, I will enter the correct part number on amazon and see what pops up

 

[crowrb29]

You can see it was pretty jacked up, the plate holder was still hanging on. I think the screws might be long enough, I just never ordered another one to find out.

Wow makes mine look like nothing. I guess I will just have to order everything and experiment from there. Sucks that it's money taken from my front locker/chromo fund but better than paying for a shop. Stupid hurts

 

[Chevy Dave]

Been looking at the bushwackers because they don't have the redneck diamondplate. Someone said they come with the plate bracket?? Does the bracket come with the light and does it attach to the vehicle using the stock bolt holes?

How does their included mount attach to the jeep? Factory holes? Does their mount have the light built in or do I need my own?

Look at the installation instruction on quadratec.

Good idea, found what I needed there.
Looks like I still have to supply my own plate holder and attach with the factory holes. I might just order a new plate holder first and see if I can't just bolt it on. I wanna try and push the dent out but I don't want to cause more paint damage by working the metal again. What do you guys think?

Find someone with a take off plate holder. Push out dent as best you can. Move on. Probably won't be the last time something like this happens. :yup:

This. I wouldn't go all crazy over a little dent.
