Alternative Front License Plate Mounts

[DragginAWagon]

Has anyone in a state that requires front license plates mounted theirs somewhere other than under the winch with the standard mounting bracket (shown below)?

I would like to know this as well. One of the only bad things about being in Texas.

I ditched the bracket and mounted it right on the bumper.

I posted in the power wagon forum one I found that mounts to the winch and puts it in front of the winch. When you need the winch, it pifiots out of the way. But it may need to be modified some to mount it to our winch.

^^^This. Get some license plate plastic inserts at the auto parts store, tap them in. Done! ...unless you do like me and almost rip it off again while off-roading. I ended up folding it back and screwing the bottom two holes into the CJC Intercooler guard (winch cover) that I have installed.

Interested also. The factory one disappeared on the highway. Then the car wash I go through bends the plate upward when I just bolted it in with two screws and nuts.

I drilled out the holes or added them, can't remember. Installed rivnuts and made it so I can take the plate on and off if hitting the trails.

Ditched the brucket, nut and bolt in existing holes; Found a silicone license plate cover on amazon for looks
