Default What Stubby Bumper

Hey guys - I am looking for a simple stubby bumper from my 2011 JKU. Not looking for anything fancy, but I do have one requirement. It needs to have provision for a license plate as they are required here in MO. I don't really care if it has fog light holes or not, they are about worthless anyways. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Are they sticklers for that license plate law in Missouri? They're required here in Texas as well, but in 27 years of driving without one, only 1 time was I ever questioned about it while being pulled over for something else. This guy made a quick fix on his PS bumper -

Simple, and can mount a front license plate.
The winch plate is an added option BTW.
Made in the USA.
Good luck Matt






The newer style doesn't have Rancho laser cut in it BTW.

Well, I didn't have one on my previous jeep and had a state patrol whip a u-turn to pulle over for just that. I only ran without one for about 6 months. Just don't want to have to hassle with it if I can keep from it.

Where I live, Colorado, they are required and the parking maids LOVE to ticket you if you don't have a front one....

I like my TPT fab bumper and it was easy to adapt my plate. This is sturdy and made in the USA.

I do like that one. Exactly what I am looking for. What are the little cut outs in the bottom corners?
