The license plate was relocated to the spare tire carrier and when it was, It didn't have a light on it. Well paranoid me tries to minimize the chance of the nice CHP officer an excuse to pull me over. A dozen things could be written up on any customized Jeep without much trouble. Mine included.
So today, I mounted a lamp to the handle that screws on to hold the tire. The handle is 1-1/4" OD pipe. I used a 1-1/4" pipe clamp and a 5" + piece of 1x1/4" aluminum bar.
I installed a plug on the wiring so when I have to remove the tire, I can unplug the lamp, but leave it on the handle. The plug is normally behind the plate, but here I just pulled it up for the photo.
Sorry about the photo quality, I only had my phone camera available. But you get the idea.
I just realized that you can click on the photo to make it larger and it's a lot easier to see what I talked about.
