Question:
I purchased the PRO hitch mounted carrier for my 2011 XTerra. The carrier blocks my license plate. What options do I have for relocating the plate to the carrier to stay legal? Love the carrier by the way!

On the Pro Series Hitch Cargo Carrier, # 63153, the license plate can be mounted to the back of the cargo carrier by drilling two holes of 1/4 inch or less and attaching the plate with two screws.
I also have a Optronics License Plate Holder, # LP35BB, that you could use. It mounts by one screw in the center and then the license plate attaches to the holder.
If you have the Optional Light Kit, # 20174, on your cargo carrier you could use the Optronics License Plate Light And Bracket, # LPL55CB, which would attach to the cargo carrier and the wire could be tapped into the running light circuit wire on the light kit, brown wire.
