Hooke Road’s JL Spare Tire Delete relocates your license plate, adds an LED third brake light, and preserves the OEM backup camera while slimming the rear profile of 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler JL/JLU models. If you prefer a cleaner rear look without your factory spare tire, this tailored tailgate vent cover replaces the stock mount and retains the original backup camera. Engineered for direct fit on Wrangler JL and JLU model years 2018–2025, the assembly combines sculpted styling with durable steel construction and integrated lighting so you don’t lose functionality for the sake of appearance.

Will this keep my Wrangler’s original backup camera working?

Yes — the Hooke Road plate relocation kit is designed to retain the factory backup camera so you maintain rear visibility. The tailgate vent cover accepts the OEM camera and routes wiring so the camera continues to function as before.

• Compatibility confirmed for Jeep Wrangler JL/JLU 2018–2025 factory camera
• Cutouts and mounting align with the OEM camera location
• Wiring access preserved for plug-and-play connection to the stock harness

How does the kit improve rear visibility and nighttime safety?

Hooke Road integrates a bright LED third brake light plus a license plate illumination lamp into the relocated mount. These lights improve rear signaling and plate visibility at night, and both are wired to work with your vehicle’s existing electrical system.

• High-intensity LED third brake light for clear brake signaling
• Dedicated license plate light included for legal nighttime visibility
• Wiring instructions and connectors provided for easy electrical hookup

What materials and finish protect this piece from trail conditions?

The plate relocation and vent cover are CNC-formed from heavy-gauge steel and finished with a tough black powder coat to resist chips, corrosion, and UV fading. Built for off-road use, the assembly holds up under mud, salt, and rough weather while keeping its appearance.

• 14-gauge and 16-gauge steel construction for structural strength
• Durable black powder coat resists rust, scratches, and UV degradation
• Robust mounting hardware supplied to withstand trail vibration

How difficult is installation and what’s included?

Installation is a direct bolt-on using the vehicle’s factory holes — no cutting or drilling required. Some wiring work is necessary to connect the LED lights, but Hooke Road includes a mounting hardware kit and detailed instructions to guide you through the process.

• Direct bolt-on design uses original tailgate holes; no structural modifications needed
• Complete hardware kit and printed instructions included for installation
• Basic wiring required for third brake light and license plate lamp; connectors included

Who is this for? This Hooke Road spare tire delete and license plate relocation kit is aimed at Jeep Wrangler JL and JLU owners (2018–2025) who want a sleeker rear profile without sacrificing backup-camera functionality or lighting.
