    I'm wanting to relocate my license plate to my tailgate. Want to mount it in the upper driver side but need to find a mount with a light that I can mount to my tailgate 1st. Anyone know of anything? Marlin of Marlin Crawler has a cool one on his truck so I know they are made but I'm only finding things for jeeps....

    Pics of what you want?

    Otherwise I’d say mount the light, and then drill 2 holes for the plate...stick some foam tape on the back of the plate and call it a day

    What shackle kit are you running? does it still let you torque down your bolts like the factory set up?

    I have toytec shackles. I didn’t torque them or anything just tightened them until they were snug.

    I believe they came with new bolts for them. My stock shackles had to be cut out so I know i didn’t reuse those bolts

    Not going to lie I bought them so long ago I didn’t even realize they cost that much. Could’ve sworn they were like 100 bucks. But I also bought my leaf pack used for 100 and it was only good for 1.5” of lift new, that’s why I bought the shackles. Plus my stock shackles were seized to the stock leaf pack. I had to cut those out anyways. Their huge though.
