Default Aftermarket bumpers and front license plate..

Anyone sell a license relocation bracket for the JK for us unlucky people who live in states with a front plate law? I am looking at that LoD bumper with winch/foglight cutouts

Im not sure if you are looking at putting on a winch or not but......I usually run a roller fairlead, I use 2 of those large mag light hanging clips, mount my plate to the clips and then clip the whole plate to the rollers. Works great. leave it on for the streets and take it off for the trails.

Damn good idea! I am going to get a winch cutout, so I can upgrade when the bank account allows. I was thinking drilling and mounting angle brackets under the winch area, but I thought it could interfere with the winch plate.

Or you can drill and tap, or just drill and use self tapping screws. I'll probably drill and tap mine.

Our's will have holes there. The roller mount works well too.

I was just worried if I used self tapping screws they could interfere with cable movement, not sure how much clearance there is behind the bumper
