NUMBERPLATE RELOCATION
We got chatting with Steven McNaught from Tough Toys, a supplier of aftermarket 4x4 accessories and adventure gear. As he said, when it comes to rear numberplates, adding offroad protection or mounts for accessories such as jerry cans or bikes can make it difficult to find an appropriate position for the numberplate, where it will be clearly and legally visible, with room for adequate numberplate lighting.
Steven showed us his numberplate relocation kits, which he sells at Tough Toys. This side of his business kicked off when he was confronted with a numberplate issue on the JK 2007 + Jeep Wrangler, but he soon realised the ability to simply and easily relocate a caravan’ s numberplate was a problem, too.
“ I took it upon myself to develop an ADR-approved relocation bracket that retains the rear camera, but I knew this wasn’ t just a Jeep problem, so I also developed the Universal 4WD & Caravan Rear Number Plate Relocation Bracket,” Steve said.“ It suits all of the usual 4x4 five-stud and six-stud patterns for Ford, Nissan, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Jeep, but caravans were a bit of a surprise market after people started asking if they’ d fit. I was shocked at how many standard numberplate mounts and lights I came across on caravans that didn’ t meet the ADRs!”
