Short answer: our Spare Tire Delete License Plate Kit fits the 2007–2017 Jeep Wrangler JK and JKU, 2-door and 4-door. It replaces the spare tire carrier with a steel plate that moves your license plate to the center of the tailgate. It has an LED plate light and an LED third brake light. It won't fit the JL.

- Not for the JL
Specs
- CNC-formed steel

How to install
- Disconnect the battery.
- Remove the spare tire and unbolt the factory carrier.

- Splice the LED wires into the tail light harness: plate light to the running light circuit, third brake light to the brake circuit.

The listing rates this a moderate install because of the splicing.
FAQ
Where does my spare tire go?
This kit removes the tailgate spare. You will need to carry your spare somewhere else, such as a rear bumper carrier or a cargo rack, if you want one on board.
Does it fit a 2018 Wrangler?
It fits the JK body, built from 2007 to 2017. It will not fit the JL. If you are not sure which body you have, call us before you order.
Do I need to splice wires?
Yes. The plate bolts on with your original bolts, but the LED plate light and third brake light need to be spliced into the tail light harness. Solder or crimp and seal each joint.
Is it street legal?
It centers your license plate and lights it, and adds a third brake light. Plate and lighting rules vary by state, so check your local laws after you install it.
