21. On TJ models, using the two supplied brackets, mount the brackets to the body with
the factory screws. The end of the bracket with the standard hole is mounted to the
body. The slotted holes are used for mounting the license plate. Align the two
brackets so they are rotated up 5 degrees and going away from the tailgate. Tighten
the factory screws. Using the ¼” hardware provided, insert a bolt with flat washer
through the license plate and the bracket and finger tighten with a lock washer and
nut. Repeat this for both brackets.
See figure 9.
