Another product idea: For those of us with rear tire carriers, make a replacement for the OEM license plate mount. And if you're feeling particularly creative, figure out a way to include a lock. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Sounds to me like you may just have a whole new business now

You know, you might be able to get a number of ideas from the H3 crowd as well since they are new to the market.

It's the black thing the tag is mounted on. A replacement product needn't be as big -- just big enough to hold the tag and cover the lug nuts. The half-circle brow immediately above the tag is generally chrome or brushed silver; mine is modified.
Make this product with a lock and you'll solve two problems: First, the OEM part is a bad aesthetic design to begin with and doesn't really match the rest of the truck. Second, if you include a lock, it'll secure the tire and wheel.

I wouldnt be interested in making a new buisness out of it.... but would like to solve some problems for some of the hardcore offroaders here who break these simple parts that are just a bad or cheap design. I know it would put a smile on my face not to be shut down over a cheap or bad design!

Alec W/xAltitude was the one that suffered the breakage.

i can make u some parts....would like to take care of the guys who do the serious offroading and provide the great pics first.... i could imagine spending the money and time they do on these trips and have a cheap or bad designed part fail.

Take'n another trip on the 4th to ozoana tx. to play in the rocks there with mine..hope to get some great sHots going up a real small hill named the widow maker...i sure hope i make it back, because my h2 is just a bit wider than My 4 wheeler and it will be my first trip up in my H2...everyone thinks i am nuts to try because the path is so narrow and straight up incline and a straight drop off the side. And as for offraoding, I don't have a 12000 lb. warn and custom built bumper for nothing!
