🔧 Rugged Ridge 11233.01 Black License Plate Holder: Durable and Dependable Review

This is a repackaged Jeep Wrangler license plate bracket. The spring tension is VERY strong and I wouldn't recommend mounting it on anything other than a metal bumper. I also don't like that it doesn't have a "stop" when you turn it over.

Used for pallet bumper, had to drill new holes further in than normal pallet mounting holes but it was easy. It's not possible to hold the plate with the hitch in, but I'll probably drill holes for the pins on either side.

Mounting holes for license plate bracket do not match the existing holes that the license plate bolts to Had to change the bracket. The license plate bracket on the eyelet holes is too small to fit standard eyelets. The rubber stopper on the back of the license plate bracket is too low on the bracket to be of any use.

Upgrade from 3 to 4 stars. Although it broke a spring right after installation (there are left and right springs to keep it closed). Opening with a spring is not that difficult. It has held up from the moment I bought it, a little over a year ago I think, until now. I would still recommend this product, the color hasn't faded and it does the job.

Although this mount was made for a Jeep, I ended up using it on my boat trailer. After losing my license plate pulling the boat out of a slip, spring action seemed like a good idea. It took a bit of rigging to attach it to the trailer but seems to work great. The mount is made of thick, durable metal and the spring action keeps it from getting stuck. However, as a warning to the buyer, no screws or hardware are included.

Hello fans! I received this as a damaged product at a discount. To screw the plate to the bracket, you'll need to find or reuse old screws. The bracket is a bit flimsy, so it was bent in the packaging. I've used this on an aftermarket steel bumper for my Tacoma and so far it's working great. There's a nice rubber bumper when the plate is down and a couple of strong springs to keep it from rattling.

This license plate holder was used on a boat trailer. The original panel was constantly being warped by the water pressure as the trailer pulled off the ramp. This spring-loaded mount solves this problem by allowing the platter to swing in one direction. The spacing between the bracket mounting holes is NOT the same as the spacing between the license plate (the screw spacing is slightly less), but this can be remedied by drilling another hole in the surface you are mounting it on.
