Default EURO plate on front JK fog-light bumper

Ok I have a stock bumper with fog lights.

I don't know where to mount a euro plate (wide), since the only area would be on the front of the bumper, but the fog lights are not spaced far enough to stick it in between them.

I am thinking of using L anchors and mounting the plate under the bumper. The problem would be clearance. The other option would be on top, but I am installing some lights there this weekend.

I didn't see any pics so I was curious. Thanks for the help

I am in FL where we don't need to have front plates FYI

Some of my friends have attached them to the bottom of the grille. Another option is to run something like a Rugged ridge bumper with skid plate and drill into the skid plate. I have the small euro plates but thats what I was looking to do if they issued me the big front plate. I also have a winch with a fairlead and the license plate flip up deal so I was also thinking about mounting it on there and bending the sides in towards the bumper. Why are you worried about Euro plates if you live in Florida?

Thanks guys, it's just a plate so I don't really want to replace the bumper just to be able to have it

I'll keep looking, if anyone has any pics that'd be sweet.

Thanks.

Get a bumper without the fog light holes (you can likely pick one up for free from a forum member or trade yours with someone who wants the fog light holes) and install the Euro plate in the center. Then get yourself an after-market light bracket like the one from Rugged Ridge - or others. See my pic below - I have the Rugged Ridge light bar.

You may need to cut holes for the tow hooks in the new bumper.



Good luck.

Actually there are different sized plates for people with U.S. vehicles. Take a look at the link.
