TORN OFF

[hmrlvr]

I tore off my rear licence plate frame this weekend while offroading. Has anyone found a plate assembly for the spare tire similar to the H2? And not to bring up old news, but, if I had them, My "TIPS" would have also been torn off... http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Here is an idea as I have had the same problem and due to the design of the location, I think there will always be a problem.

I have no done this yet but I suggest: To cut with a cutting tool a line in the plastic bumper to match the width of a license plate.

Then tuck the bottom part of the license plate "about 1 inch" behind the bumper so its inbetween the plastic bumper and the metal one beneath so it cant get "hung" up when on the trail.

I think this would work great but again I havent tried it yet myself.

I wish they had put 2 tow hooks on the rear bumper and found another spot for the license plate like the on spare tire.. I bet someone will make a kit for this.

Also bparker..it looks like you might be able to slide the plate up about an inch before you tuck the lower edge.

You could also bolt on a small metal lip on the bumper to keep the edge of the plate from being bent up

Even easier: Just hinge the plate.
Home Depot can help you out with that.

Heres a trailer hitch option for licence plate .When offroading pop it offhttp://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Product/showCustom-0/Pr-p_Product.CATENTRY_ID:2004362/c-10101/Nty-1/p-2004362/Ntx-mode+matchallpartial/N-10101/tf-Browse/s-10101/Ntk-AllTextSearchGroup?Ntt=plate%20step

Considering that part of the H3 sales pitch pointed out that the exhaust tips were cut match the departure angle, the licence plate mount is a dumb oversight. Or the bit about the exhaust is baloney.

I like Timgco's hinge idea, but it won't help if you need to reverse. A solution requires the plate to be raised well above the lower line of the bumper.
