Default Front License Plate Solutions

I just put a Poison Spyder Brawler front bumper and need a solution for a front plate. Any ideas?

Kilby has a solution to put on your roller or Hawse fairlead. Personally, I'm running w/o until I get a fix it ticket. My front F150 place got lost in 2000 and I've never been stopped.

Does the bumper have a lower skid plate?

I just placed mine on the skid plate on my LoD middy as I don't care for the plate being clipped on the fairlead.

You can buy magnets, or I saw another guy who strapped it to his sun visor upside down so if a cop drove by or whatever you just flip it down and its visible in the windshield....

With that being said, (Knock on wood), I haven't been stopped in 2 years with the XHD without my front license plate in Virginia (illegal here).

Depends on the type of fairlead you are running a roller then you can make one for less that $10 using the Maglight Mounts and if you are using a Hawse you can go with a product like the Roc Dawg.

YES! 3M Molding Tape -- I used it to hold my front plate AND my black, "plate mounted" SpeedPass onto my XHD bumper months ago... Will not budge... pressure washer and all...

This exact stuff:

I know that doesn't help... but I couldn't resist.
I do live in a place that doesn't require it...but a beach tag is required to drive on the beach

Default Car dealer plates

i just installed a rr xhd front bumper and i have a family member who works for a car dealer. they have 1 inch by 6 inch magnets that they use for temp plates. hit up a hardware store and just stick it to both! easy on, easy off. just take it off before you go to a car wash. i lost mine that way!
