Rear gate delete plate, anyone make a plain one to just cover the vents?

There are several out there. I purchased the Ace Engineering version. Be aware that relocating the camera has pitfalls. My gate plate from ACE does not have the correct angle towards the road, so the parking lines (if you use them) are facing upwards. Other variations look to have the appropriate angle as with the OEM tire carrier. My application also allows for the entire camera neck to stick out, which looks willy nilly, especially for the cost of $175 product. I will be posting an entire tire carrier delete post so more detail will be there. Hope this helps.

Right, Ace makes a license place relocation plate and it has no provision for a third brake light and the camera mount which is very nice has the wrong angle. So I just put it a vice and bent it to match the factory angle. Why Ace couldn't do it, I don't know.

Can you post an image of the modified camera mount? I just ordered the ACE gate plate relocate. The site says that it does include a provision for the 3rd Brake Light. Is this incorrect?

Thanks!

Sounds like we're talking about two different things. I have the Ace License plate relocate. Not the spare tire delete. I believe they make both.
Sound correct?

Ah, okay. You are correct.

Just finished my spare tire delete. I didn’t want to relocate the license plate...and do the associated wiring so I came up with my own.

Dude, you made that? I need one...why @JcrOffroad doesn't make one to match I don't know...I hate the way this looks. So unfinished.

Went with the genright license plate relocation, I'd would have like no holes but this will work. Came unpainted aluminum.
Shot some textured flat black on it.

How do you like the JCR adventure tire carrier? I'm deciding between that and their shield design. The adventure looks like the stronger option with it supported at both sides. Nice job covering the tailgate vents with the genright part. It looks much nicer.
