Let me know what you guys think about this...
And should Joe do this mod instead of the wire tie mod he has? :rolleyes:

Thats is awesome Mario. One question can it be retracted out from inside the truck? Just curious about how good the signal is. Would be cool if you were pulled over and the cop states you don't have a front plate and wham!!! lol.

Yes it can be retracted from inside and today I was able to retract it from about 3 cars away, but I haven't tested the range yet.
Not sure if the cop would like that thou... But I bet he would be like WTF...? :D

You can find them on eBay. Do a search on retractable license plate.
Here's a link...

Very very cool!!
Thanks Johnny!

I saw this a while ago and thought it was awesome but couldn't figure out a way to get it on the WJ. Glad to see you can get it to work on the SRT though.
Yeah there's certain vehicles is more difficult or impossible to fit it.

Thanks bro!
If I was in FL for sure I would have not done this mod since no plate is required over there.
Man I wish I was in South Beach right now.

Just to note if I do this mod, my intentions are totally different.



(Never have the plate up, but when I get pulled over, hit the switch and watch the WTF look on the cops face. :D But knowing my luck the battery in the remote is dead. lol)
That's the difference in our ages my young padawan, I used to think like that :D.
Remember you might get that cop pissed off and he'll give you other tickets if you play that on him. ;)

I'm not saying I'll be driving around with the plate hidden. I'll have it up while driving (that didn't sound right :D). But yes if I forget to have it up I'll just tell the officer the truth, that I forgot to put it up after the car show or whatever I was at . If I get a ticket while the plate is down I will not get mad and i'll completely understand the officer. maybe after that I won't forget to put it up anymore.
But when I'm at a show or racing or out of any public road that plate is off my bumper :).
I hope that makes things clear with my intentions with this mod.

That's good news. Thanks!

AWESOME! I want one.

How does it hold up driving around? Is it floppy, would it fall you think? If its pretty sturdy Id use it for shows or pictures etc. Good Stuff Mario
Just had it on since Friday but that thing is screwed on man, I don't see it coming off just by driving around... Plus I went down the track with it all weekend and still there after going 100+ mph. I do not suggest opening it or closing it while the jeep is moving thou.

BTW, I just tested it here at work on the range and I'm as far as 50yds from the jeep and it flipped open and close, so the range is there. I'll test later what's the farthest it'll reach.

Nope, not getting into that :D.
This thread is only about having it motorized at the front ;).

I like it Mario you should carry them at the shop
Thanks Bill! I'm thinking about that...

Awesome mod! Do you know if any thing else needs to be done to get it to fit our Jeeps?
Not really, other than to cut the bottom grille plastic mesh on the SRT8s, not sure what it needs to be done different on the other WKs.

Very cool Mario! Good to talk again!
Thanks Scott! And it was nice talking to you also. Thanks for answering the questions I had on the bumper but it was so easy to install it that the bumper didn't have to come off or anything, just wanted to make sure by talking to you.

I was stoked when I moved to NC from VA and was able to get rid of that damned front plate.
I would be stocked too. I wonder if we can have a petition for NJ to get rid of the front plate :D.
