Aftermarket Bumper/Tire Carrier - License Plate Relocation

[CarolinaGX]

Now that I am nearing my rear bumper and tire carrier build, I need to figure out a solution to the rear license plate requirement. I was thinking of printing a color copy of my plate and laminating it, then attaching it to the boom arm of my carrier but I don't know if that is actually legal or not. What have you guys/gals done?

i think you can just screw/attach the license plate and its frame next to the hitch. Here is how it is mounted on my bumper, on the jerry can carrier. I think anywhere visible is fine, at least in California.

Do you have to have a light on the license plate?

I just have a cheap led that uses the license plate holes
Work great

@landwagon, How do you power the led?

 

[landwagon]

I spliced at the factory license plate light location.

I don't have one. It's on my list, just way down at the bottom

Do you have to have a light on the license plate?

Every state has different laws but I doubt any don't require a plate light.

How else is a motors officer supposed to run your tag at night for 26 in a 25???

Mine is on Jerry can holder as well and no light. Colorado plates are highly reflective so I don’t run one and know others that don’t as well.

I have a LED light in my license plate frame (on the jerry can holder). Not that hard to wire up.
