Who has an ARB rear tyre carrier and where did you put your number plate?

[sully-NT]

As the title suggests........ Where did you put your number plate on your ARB rear bar and what lighting did you use???

Well, I don't have an ARB bar but why not go with USA style mount?
Plate had to have a few mm's trimmed from each side and you can just see LED under the taillight to illuminate plate.

I have that style and like it...dead center, nice led light/3rd brake light set up.

Really two different components...license plate holder and 3rd brake light/bracket.

You can actually see the plate lit up in this pic with just the parking lights on.

Hi,

Ebay is where I got mine - Jeeps R us! Penguin

I've got one and I don't have the fancy rear bar. I just think the standard 'export' licence plate holder is lame.

I'm even thinking of converting my tail lights to USA ones. Don't need the little LED plate light then!:cool:

Just be aware the bolts you will need for the bracket don't come with it! From what I can gather from our American friends is they are 12-24 UNC and you just pull out the 4 little bungs and there are threaded holes there.

Your car looks identical to mine apart from that sh*t Victorian plate. and your duster.

Hows the cover going? good quality?

I did the install myself and no it shuts / opens very comfortably. There are a few adjustments you can make, they should all be in the instructions.

Any chance of you scanning the page on the adjustments ? Mine came on the jeep and it is a pig when opening and closing, ARB were not all that helpful

I'll see if I can find it now. But there three adjustments you can do:

- Adjust the red rubber inward or outward to stop it from rattling.

- Adjust catch position to make sure locking pin hits between the guides.

- Adjust a bolt on driver side to increase or decrease tilt angle on the tyre carrier.

I'll try to take photos and post them up to cover what I am talking about.
