I am going to change my bumper and install a winch. I wonder how do you ride without a front plate? I saw a lot of jeeps with winch bumpers without plates, but as I know, it's not legal. Any suggestions? I looked at some plate holders, but I am unsure if they would work with my setup. Anyway, if someone has experience riding without a front plate, I would love to hear for advice.

I use one of these. I don’t have a winch but it might be an option for you.

I don't have a front plate on my DV8 bumper. Hasn't seemed to bother anyone yet.

Running a winch with no front plate. Not that you get a pass with a winch... but between it, my pocket lights, and ACC, there's absolutely no place for it. 🤷‍♂️ Oh well... no issues yet 🚔🤞

@66GT How long have you been doing that? Any "legal" questions to you?

@evgenyvasenev .. 4 months or so. I didn't run a front plate on my 94 Saleen either. Maybe I'm deluding myself, but I tend to think they'll understand not wanting to molest a collector car.

Still, I keep my front plate and stock bracket under my seat if I need to demonstrate the problem... and a bag of zip ties if I'm compelled to make an on-the-spot correction... lol

@66GT I found one solution, but I need to test it as it could cover the sensors.

Subscribing to this thread as I also have had a Front license plate issue and I am looking for something better. Plus something that doesn't cover up the sensors or the radar and would like it to not cost $100.

I run after market bumper and winch with lights - no front plate. Police in the city could care less - run all my cars with no front plate and not once had an issue. I did fill out the state patrol form to get an exemption and they just laughed and the officer I talked to - laughed and told me they dont really care unless you are being an ass - it gives them an excuse to give you a ticket :)
