After putting my new MC bumper on my truck the license plate was not visible enough to be legal so this is how I solved the problem...I mounted the light wear the roll pan is and it clears the tailgate and everythink I just cut the wires from the old lights and hooked them up to this...here's some pics...

I think its great, but, I don't understand what "Yota" means...?

Lol are you kidding?

He's gotta be...

Nice rear bumper, looking to get the same style for my 85.

Its well worth the money if you wheel hard! And it just looks BA!! Mine has already saved both tail lights and rear quarter panels numerous times just after one wheelin trip...I probably wouldn't have gone on the trail I did without it

just a 22re

not bad man looking good you should get a IFS sticker to go in the "O" in yota lol

now all you need are lights on it and it's 100% legal. you need either one light centered above it, shining down, or two lights, one on each side, shining towards the center. the light shining up from below is not considered legal and actually could get you a ticket because of that.

It would be even cooler if you could cut out a liscense plate enclosure from a runner or landcruiser tail gate and inset it in yours

In CA it doesn't matter where the light is as long as you have it illuminated and visible from 50 ft...my dad's a CHP and he said that there is nothing illegal about the light placement as far as he knows, however the light does not illuminate it enough to be seen from 50 ft as I found out after installing the light that night so I am gunna be looking for a better light to light it up with and may end up putting one on the bottom and one on the top. I just need to find a light that is a little more low profile cause the one I have now sticks out like 3 inches that's why I mounted it where its at

89silverpu

Yeah that would be sweet! I doubt I'll be able to find one at the local pick and pull but its worth a shot...

The Marlin Crawler sticker fits perfectly no need to show off that I have a weak front end lol

Maybe after the install I'll be a BAMF!

I'm from cali, and I know that a light at the bottom of the plate is not technically illegal, however if it produces a noticible glare to a vehicle behind it, an officer could cite you for that as a safety concern.

i just did the same thing to my 84 last week. i love the mc bumper its awesome

89silverpu

You may not be able to see it in the picture but the light is tilted away from the tail gate like this / so you can not see the bulb from the rear I just need to find a brighter light and mount it in a better position cause I know for sure it does not light it up enough a only looked one place for lights so I need to look around...

89silverpu

nice...do you have a light?

SwampThing

I got the funniest mental image of someone wrapping a snake light around the tube bumper and pointing it at the license plate... No? Well I'd do it...

89silverpu

wtf? lol where do you get that from lol am I missing something?

scuba

lmao, that made me crack up.
That would be totally
