M939 Series Type License Plate Light and Mount

[Artisan]

I have himhawed around and dillydicked around for too long
getting myself into a frenzy
over this silly license plate issue and getting my M925A1 up to
vehicle code. You need a plate mount that is solid and a light for
the plate as well to keep Johnnie-Law off your back.

The left or right side metal splash guard above the mud flap
is a good place to mount it BUT, you have to deal with the
two 1" tall strongbacks, or ribs in the splash guard.

I have settled on THIS set up and thought I would share.
When I meet up w/ the Squatch before long, as I await
MY FREAKING TITLE from GL, when I have it in hand
I will head that way and get these parts installed and
take a few pics...

The light and it's unseen "Y" Splitter and long cord can be
found at ERIKS and the 2, metal licence plate mounts
can be found at etrailer dot com, nuts and bolts
can be had at your local hardware store as well as
the 2 spacers you see behind the lights bracket...

I guess you could ditch one of the two brackets but
I want my plate solid and not getting bent-up when
you go to wash so I think i will go w/ two brackets,
paintem' 383 Green and run it ...

Drill two holes in the mud flap and bolt it on. Leave the light behind.

Great idea Brad. I have this type of project in the works. I mount my jerry can on the mudflaps so I have to suspend mine.

How do you do that wsucougarx and what happens if you have a blow out? Not too sure about these 1400's only had one blow out and it was on the front but when I drove a class 8, blow outs regularly took out the mudflap brackets of our trucks (we ran a lot of recap tires.) A jerry can on those mud flap brackets would have been a bomb. Do I have this right, you are mounting jerry cans on the back mud flap bracket? Got pics?

I have been chewing on this location for a fuel can mount since Mike
suggested it here. I did not specifically think "blowout" and
destroyed splash guards but now it seems indeed it can and
has happened...

Is the sky falling? Not sure, I to would like to see pics...

Somewhere on this site, there is a picture of a tan m927/928 with a blown super single.
