NH has a front plate but that looks better than just screwing to the bumper...

 

is that a grandcherokee frame or a xj frame?

 

Not sure. It wasn't the most professional eBay sale and page. The description said.....

"You are bidding on a new Jeep Cherokee front license plate mount. The mount is black plastic and comes with the screws and is in the original package. It should fit most years/models of Jeep Cherokee/Liberty"

I checked out the crappy pic the best I could and sort of took a gamble on the fit. Luckily, it turned out nice.

I looked, but that seller does not have anymore.


Cheers,
Jim

 

great idea! that looks so much better than straight to the bumper!:smiley_thumbs_up:

 

is the plate parallel with the bumper or does it angle down? cant really tell from the photos. also, does it line up to the existing holes? can you get a side angle shot?
thanks in advance.

 

The holder contours nicely with the bumper and the plate is perpendicular to the ground.

There are 3 mounting holes in the plate holder along with the normal 2 holes that go thru the top of the license plate.
Since there are no mounting holes on the Patriot except for the 2 for the license plate, I used 1/4" x2" Lag bolts to hold both the plate and plate holder on.
1/4" is the normal size thread for plates, but I had to go longer to reach thru.

Cheers,
Jim

 

Regulations

Looks great, but anybody thinking about it should check with their state's regs about tag display. I know Wisconsin requires Back AND front tags. The fine is over $200 if memory serves.

I just grabbed one myself and confirmed that this is the seller Jim used above!

 

Just picked one up as well....thanks Gaze and Jim!!!!

Where did you pick up the "Jeep" plate? dealership or online as well?

 

Grabbed it on eBay also. But I also saw them at jparts.com and justforjeeps.com

 

I just ordered mine for 6.75 at JParts.com (along with 4 Jeep Mudflaps, an air deflector, rear license place frame, and a key ring). had to get over 100 for the free shipping!

 

Where did you find it on that site? I didn't see it there?
Thanks

 

"HAD TO?" lol

Sounds more like you used the free shipping as an excuse to buy more stuff!

 

Gaze!!!!!! SHHHHHHH!!!!

Actually, I needed the mud flaps and air deflector - was about 15 or so shy from the free shipping but those items alone cost 18-20 in shipping so I actually SAVED money (at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it!).

Here is another type, since they had already drilled the holes in my bumper in Virginia, put thier paper tag on when I went to pick it up. We don't use front plates in SC, so had to cover them with this. the holder came from autozone and the plate online at www.autoplates.com

Greetings from over in Myrtle Beach Alex.

That is really nice. VERY nice.

I think I might get one and switch it up every now and then.

Cheers,
Jim

If you can read this you are not watching the road


?

 

Well, if its on the front, can you mirror the letters, although not sure if you could see it in a rear view?

I was tempted to get one of those variable message ones, then you could click a) get off my a$$
b) Insert favorite sports team here

 

Thanks for the good information here. I just bought mine on ebay. $10 plus $5 shipping

 

Not so bolt savy on my Patriot Sport how does the bolt stay on when you can't reach the back of the bumper? I'd hate to get that $200 ticket before I figure it out. Please help with the techy stuff. Susan in the Gorge

 

looks good, I'm gonna have to get one too!

 

These plate holders are a good idea, I might grab one for mine even though I live a two-plate state (thankfully) - I paid the extra fee for vanities so I might as well get double the visibility!

By the way, does anyone else wish that the liftgate had 4 mounting holes for the license plate, like the Cherokee did? Plates have been known to be stolen in my neighborhood, so I use theft-resistant bolts, but they're more effective when there's 4 of them.

 

i'd like to get one that says fuchp no license in the front is a fix it ticket in CA along with tinted windows, tinted taillights and turn signals lol

 

i got a 5 dollar universal plate holder at walmart it looks alot better than having the plate screwed to the bumpar(in maine you have to have 2 plates)

 

How about a photo?

 

will the front plate bracket from a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee fit.

if it will, please let me know as i am going to buy it.

thanks

 

Has anyone seen this plate holder for sale on-line anywhere lately? Did some searching but couldn't find any...

 

I don´t have my front plate, because I like the clean look without the license plate
