MetalCloak is an American manufacturer based in California that has been designing and building off-road components exclusively for Jeeps for over two decades. Every part is CAD-engineered, laser cut, welded and finished in-house, and the company backs its structure and coating with a lifetime warranty.

License Plate Relocation Bracket - Jeep TJ/LJ Wrangler

A bracket that relocates the rear license plate - needed after fitting a spare tire carrier or LED taillights, which take the factory plate position. Plate lighting is included.

Black Textured Powder Coat

The powder coated version carries MetalCloak's signature micro-textured semi-gloss finish. It resists stone chipping and local trail damage can be touched up without refinishing the whole part.

Specification

• Bracket: 1/8" (3.2 mm) 5052 aluminum
• Finish: black powder coat
• Fitment: Jeep TJ and LJ Wrangler 1997-2006

Important - plate format

The bracket is designed around the US plate format, roughly 305 x 152 mm. A European single-row plate is 520 x 114 mm and will not bolt directly to the factory hole pattern. An adapter is normally needed - we can make one or advise on an off-the-shelf solution.

Wiring: the manufacturer notes additional wiring is required.

Before painting: the manufacturer requires a test fit on the vehicle before any custom paint or powder coating. Painted parts cannot be returned.

Homologation: this product carries no European type approval. Road legality after installation is decided by the vehicle inspection station; check before buying if in doubt.

Installation

Easy. 1-2 hours. Wiring required.

A note on vehicle age

TJs and LJs are now twenty to nearly thirty years old. Expect seized bolts and corroded frame threads when removing factory parts - soak the joints in penetrant beforehand and use anti-seize on reassembly. Several reviews of TJ parts are really about this rather than about the part.

We import this product directly from the MetalCloak factory in the USA. Please contact us for the current lead time before placing an order.

Warranty and service

MetalCloak backs its products with a lifetime warranty on structure and coating for the original owner. The warranty does not cover accident damage, incorrect installation or owner-performed modifications. As an authorised dealer we handle the whole claim process for you.
