Does anyone have any thoughts on mounting locations or mounting tips for a front license plate??? It is such a small detail, but, I can't decide on what front bumper to get that allows a mounting location. I know I can just go with a steel winch line and mount using a roller fair-lead bracket. However, I much prefer a synthetic line w/hawse and I am not aware of any mounting for that setup.

so happy I live where it is only required to have a plate on the rear.

 

I'm running a LoD front bumper and they offer a license plate bracket that bolts-on.

 

Zip tie it anywhere. Because the front doesn't need a light, there's plenty of places.

I'd get the front bumper you prefer and THEN figure out its mount, either near the fairlead or above the winch, or around the bumper/stinger tubing, or rivet it to the outer edge of the steel bumper.

 

Here is a flip up style holder for a Hawse style http://thesteelarmadillo.com/index.p...&product_id=60

 

I'm using the Rugged Ridge one Mark posted. It's junk. Broke second time trying to put it back on. So I drilled a couple holes and zip tied it to fairlead. It works. That's about it...

 

I ran without one for 2 years. Finally came up with a solution I liked. Modified 2 L brackets. Drilled and tapped into the edge of the bumper. Perfect fit.

 

That's why I love this forum. Post a question asking for a solution and everyone lends a hand!!!! Thanks a ton!

 

Illinois sucks for so many things... This being one of them. After my entire life running a front plate, I finally said hell with it after I put my new front bumper on. Haven't had any complaints from the law since. They eye bang the sh!t out of me too.. Guess they're more interested in how awesome it looks vs. this dumb ass technicality.
