In the interest of keeping the opening for the intercooler unobstructed, I expect the aftermarket will come up with a hinged bracket that puts the plate in front of one of the recovery shackle points, but allows it to be swung up out of the way when needed for using the shackle.

How many Wrangler guys must be looking in here and hysterically laughing to themselves, as they watch us cringe, and curl up into a ball, turn after turn on a pre-ordered car.

No mod tops, no x-plan, delays, navy pier and interior choices, front license plate location, no demo cars and everyone acting like a self-employed spy, posting Bronco Sport exterior colors. It really is very comical. Even the simplest of things like a front license plate holder Ford managed to screw up. This thread will be 50 pages by Wednesday.

The car's not even out yet, and I'd say we're all asking for way too much from a company that's tried really hard to get this right. The team that built the Bronco will probably be the last of its kind.

Possible idea from Raptor if there is a front license plate issue:

Good thing I live in a state where the front license plate isn’t required.

Me too

I'll be doing exactly what @RockSkipper suggests here. It can act as an additional bash plate!

HA! The possibilities are ENDLESS!

Engineer smengineer...

Screws into tow hook location, probably won't work for the Bronco with actual recovery hooks.

Move it down below the bumper and let the ground make it conform to the shape of the skid plate. Adds character.

This close-up of an OB, from another thread, clearly shows where the plastic is dimpled for drilling......

I need glasses for my glasses for that.

Jokes aside, I have better than 20/20 and didn't see them for too long. I was looking at the dirty part, not the A51 part.

Problem Solved !!!

Yeah, I seriously doubt Ford will put a plate here or suggest to put a plate here. Not sure why the hell they even put it there. They know that these test vehicles are going to get photographed, people will see that hacky stuff.

I Like it ?

Every officer is going to approach this differently... but as a general rule, in my state where it is required, pulling someone over for failing to display a front place is a "good stop" all day long...

...the next question is what else is the officer going to find when they've got you on the side of the road.

If you chose to do it, just be prepared for any and all consequences.

As an ex prosecutor, I will agree. Never know what is going to come from a stop.
