![]() ![]() He told me they’re made by a third party. It had two high but rear facing snorkels. So the black G-Wagon owner came out and was cool when I asked some questions. That all costs money, so screw brick and mortar stores, right? Meh, someone of course needs to own a $500M yacht, a barbie wife, and rocket ships to pretend to be an astronaut. I wish more brick and mortar stores with stock would exist. I’ll check the forums first to see if anyone has any recommendations. I’ll order one to see if that does the trick. ![]() I found a few winch fairlead bracket flip up license plate holders on Amazon. First, how the heck can the police read the front plate, not to mention rocks will turn it into it a mangled pseudo skid plate in no time. I don’t like the front license plate location, but it’s where Jeep wants you to mount it if you have a winch. I mounted the front plate to the winch fairlead bracket that is at an odd 45 degree angle. I might circle back and drill a couple holes to add two more screws. I added a couple pieces of 3M double sided tape under the bottom of the license plate to prevent any rattling. Lots of alignment clips to ensure the new plastic mounting bracket goes into the right position. Then connect the cable to the new plastic mounting bracket and push the mounting plate into the steel bumper. All I had to do was disconnect and remove the light from the old plastic mounting bracket and attach it to the new mounting bracket. I had the new plate already mounted on the new plastic mounting bracket. The light cable is a weather proof quick disconnect so it was easy to get it all off. I yanked out the mounting bracket, pulling the left side first and then the right side by the light. As it turned out, I was overthinking the replacement process. ![]() The Vehicle owners haven’t come out yet, so I went ahead with my original plan and swapped out the license plate mounting bracket. I got into my Jeep, gave my iPhone a while to cool off, then I was able to take a few more. Having lived in Coppell, TX a dozen years ago, I’m not surprised at the three week (so far!) string of 100+ degree weather. I took a couple dozen photos before my iPhone overheated and shut down. I walked around taking pictures, hoping I wouldn’t annoy any of the owners. There was also a forest green Toyota Tacoma TDR Pro that had some nice mods. Ok to be fair the black G-Wagon was the real deal, and the other two were probably mall crawlers. A white G-Wagon that didn’t look too modified. My Jeep somehow got surrounded by 1/4 million dollars worth of awesome off-road vehicles! A black G-Wagons that is seriously modified for over-landing. I was excited, finally ready to scratch another task off my todo list. I came here to pick up a four pack of 1/4” x 3/4” machine screws. This way any other radio operator can contact me on or off road. It took a while since I requested HAM radio operator call sign plates. Follow Overlander at large on Follow Blog via Email ![]()
