The Platypus License Plate Mount

Jeep Platypus Tow Hook Front License Plate Mount

The CravenSpeed Platypus is a front license plate mount designed specifically for Jeeps. It is made in the USA and attaches to your Jeep via existing bolts used to mount the factory tow hooks.

Removable

In many states, you need a front plate on your Jeep, but that does not mean you have to drill it in permanently. This Platypus is compatible with all Renegade Trailhawks for model years from 2015 to 2022. This method of installing the front plate is common and legal in all states that require front license plates. At times when the plate is not needed, it can be removed easily, leaving no trace that it was ever there.

Quick Release

We believe that touchless is the only kind of automatic car wash anyone should subject their Jeep's paint job to. If you absolutely need to use a rag car wash, then the Platypus should be removed to avoid getting caught up in the machine. We have planned for this. Using the included flat wrench you can loosen the bolt a ¼ turn and then slide the plate off before the wash. This takes less than a minute. Although we have never had a plate backing come loose accidentally, each plate backing is balanced such that if it did the plate would hang and not fall off.

Exact Fit for Your Jeep

This is not a one size fits all system. After a decade of experience fitting hundreds of models and trim levels this is our exact fit front plate bracket for a 2015-2022 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk. The Platypus is exceptionally stable because we do not build in the adjustability that more universal kits require.

According to our test fitting this kit fits 2015-2022 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk.

This kit will come with a blinder to be used if your Jeep is equipped with PDC. The Plate will be covering one of the parking sensors on your Renegade Trailhawk. The blinder is just a little round sticker the size of the sensor, it will not be visible since it will be behind the plate. When in place that sensor will not be able to detect anything in front of it. The rest of the sensors and the parking system will work, but that one will not. If you have PDC and rely on this system to park your car then the Platypus is not for you.

Materials

The black powder-coated mounting plate is the full size of your license plate and includes stainless steel button head screws that look excellent. The bracket is made from the same 12 gauge steel to esnure a solidly mounted plate.

The hardware provided is the exact length for your plate mount and will not stick through the back to scratch your bumper. If you would like to install a plate frame or plate cover, you will need a longer set of hardware, available here for $2. We also offer both lengths in a black stainless steel option!
