MAF Tire Carrier License Plate (1 Viewer)

[Sharp38]

I never really liked the look of the license plate on the back of the cooler carrier on the MAF 1045 tire carrier. Installing one on my 65 FJ40 over the weekend convinced me that I wanted to do something different. Fabricated a license plate bracket out of 18 ga sheetmetal leaving space at the top for the original license light. Mounted it under the basket by drilling and tapping the cross member on the basket carrier. Wired neatly tucked in under the body with a cushion strap at the pivot point.

I like your set up. Please post a few more reference photos.

I am probably going with the rock hard 4x4 spare tire license plate bracket, so I don't have to screw with switching when I go topless vs ambulance doors.

Not a bad idea - is it visible enough to keep the cops happy? I have mine on the back of the basket and I'm pretty used to it now.
