With the addition of a matching spare (20" KMC Backseat and Nitto Mud Grappler) in the stock position I had to find a new place for the license plate. Going through all of the threads on here and seeing what others chose to do I liked the look of the Rollmasters license plate relocation kit.

What I didn't like was the $90.00 for the thing and then to futher bend me over when I went to checkout shipping on this thing was ONLY $25.00! So I would have been into $20.00 worth of material for a paltry $115.00. I decided to do a little searching and they apparently use a Peterson M436B light bracket with some powdercoated sheetmetal. Searching around I found the M436B for $6.03 (shipping brought it to $16-ish - would have been cheaper if I would have order a bunch of them) and then I'll have to cut the sheetmetal and have it powdercoated but I figure I'll have an identical version of what they sell for about $30.00 and an hour of my time.
I need to start making parts for the H2 crowd...seems that there's automatically a 300% bump added for the 'luxury' factor and because I assume they think we're lazy and incapable of duplicating their advanced engineering feats.
