Tailgate Steel Spare Tire License Plate and LED Light for 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK

Ditch the heavy spare and clean up your Wrangler JK's rear profile instantly. This heavy-duty steel tire delete kit relocates your plate and adds high-visibility LED lighting for a sleek, trail-ready look that turns heads.

Streamline Your JK's Rear End for Maximum Clearance and Style

The Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018) cemented itself as an off-road legend, but let’s be honest: that stock spare tire carrier is a heavy burden. It blocks your rear visibility, puts massive stress on your tailgate hinges—especially with oversized tires—and limits your departure angle on steep descents. For the enthusiast who prefers the aggressive "spare delete" look or the crawler who needs to shed weight to conquer the toughest lines, leaving the tailgate bare isn't an option. It looks unfinished and exposes your cabin vents to the elements.

This Tailgate Steel Spare Tire License Plate Kit is the ultimate solution for the modern Jeeper. It creates a finished, armored look that covers unsightly factory vents while legally relocating your license plate to the center of the tailgate. Whether you are building a dedicated rock crawler or a sleek daily driver, this kit transforms your rig's aesthetic from "missing parts" to "custom built," ensuring you look as good leaving the trail as you did arriving.

Key Features at a Glance

• Complete Spare Tire Delete: Removes the bulk of the tire carrier, reducing weight and stress on your tailgate hinges while opening up your rear view.
• Integrated LED Lighting: Features a waterproof LED license plate illuminator and a high-visibility LED third brake light to keep you street legal and safe.
• CNC-Formed Steel Construction: Built from heavy-duty steel to withstand trail abuse, vibrations, and impact without warping.
• Aggressive Styling: Provides a clean, custom appearance that hides the factory vent structure for a polished, purposeful look.

How It's Used: Installation & Fitment

This kit is designed for the DIY enthusiast who wants a clean modification without major fabrication. The plate mounts directly to the factory tailgate mounting points using your original bolts, ensuring a secure, rattle-free fit. While the physical mounting is a bolt-on process, the "Moderate Installation" rating refers to the wiring connection required for the LED license plate and third brake lights. You will need to splice into your existing tail light harness, a standard procedure for most aftermarket lighting upgrades on the JK platform.

Product Durability & Material Details

When you are bouncing down a washboard road or sliding off a rock ledge, plastic parts just don't cut it. This kit is crafted from durable CNC-formed steel, offering superior rigidity compared to factory plastic covers. The construction is designed to resist corrosion and endure the harsh environments Jeeps are known to inhabit, from the salt spray of the coast to the mud of the backwoods. The LEDs are waterproof sealed to prevent moisture intrusion, ensuring they shine bright even after a heavy pressure wash.
