Made my own license plate fairlead holder thingy... used two Maglite clips, I bought four, but I think two will suffice, I'll keep my eye on it.
I bought a plastic plate holder, screwed on the clips and came up with this...

Great idea. Looks good. Here's a suggestion that may some day save your plate and a trip to DMV. Put a string or something thin but strong between the plate (or just the plate holder) and run it through the bumper assemblly. This way if the thing ever came off over a big bump or even a car wash or something, you'll still have the plate (for a few feet anyway!). Just a thought!

35" Tires
I posted these in another trail thread but they belong here
My wife doesn't get why I can be so excited about a set of tires?
my daughter does get it though
Of course the 35 on a stock tire wouldn't fit on the stock mount.
So what I did was measure the wheel cut out that the Teraflex bumper had. 2ft wide with the lowest part 1ft wide and 4" deep and the angle up on each side 6" each. Then I taped out the lines on the stock rear bumper and got out the skill saw
I figure the insides of the fact bumper could also be used to store tow straps too. and it doesn't look too bad especially for someone with no money like me (I should change my screen name to budget wheeler). But with the back gate closed its hard to tell unless your really looking.
there you have it a 35" tire on stock wheel with no spacer mounted to the stock rr tire carrier and I did not have to whack off the ET third brake light

As far as the rubbing, on road at full turn they were hitting that plastic thingy underneath the front bumper.
After this Sunday on the John Bull trail I will see if I am next up for a fender chop
