Front license plate mount options?

[Seahund]

Good option; I never knew these existed. Only down side is you lose your shackle mounting point on one side. I suppose it might be worth the trade-off.

I’ll keep this in mind if I can’t find another viable solution though.

You could remove for an off-road trip then just re-attach when back in civilization, no?

Ahhhhh the beeping things... Never had those in a become before, hopefully I can turn them off .

I'm pretty sure collision avoidance is okay of the ACC but I could be wrong.

Let's hope there's no interference regardless though

Pretty sure I"ve seen on a video where a guy showed on the info-tainment system where you can shut those off.

I purchased this on Amazon...haven't gotten my Bronco yet, but seems like it should work: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VYYNM3...abc_9K343VXTG0NBCH9KSMS5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Looks like a workable solution...

I’ll be using the Bronco bolts to attach my license plate to the front bash plate. There are various Bronco owners that have already done this. All you need is some 16 gauge metal and the ability to put a bend in it and drill some holes and you’re done. And anytime I do some heavy duty off roading I’ll just unbolt it.

I think that's the ticket!

I have one of these on order. Was thinking about ditching the bolt through the shackle for a quick release connector of some sort. Once I get it in hand I'll do some sizing and see what I can pick up at Home Depot. Colorado is so backed up on registering vehicles, not sure this is even relevant for several months...

One another note - here's another free version I rigged up using the plastic front mounting plate the dealer handed me. Lots of cons to this and will not be what I use but if you like that location...easy enough to do as a temporary solution.

Update for those looking at the Hooke Road solution.
Product purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VYYNM38?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

A few general notes:
- Bolt included in the package is not long enough to fit through the shackle mount. You need at least 1.75" to get through shackle mount and the two plate holder mounts (see picture)
- Attaching to the round opening on the shackle mount will block a parking sensor
- Attaching to the lower opening on the shackle mount clears the sensor
- Pictures here are with the hardware zip-tied on just to show the anticipated final placement on the bumper
- parking sensor probably will think it's sticking out from the vehicle and definitely going to scream at me pulling into the garage
- overall impression is that it's okay. I'm not a huge fan of the LED light fixture and don't plan to light the plate anyway.
- included extra pictures here from different angles

Mounting points don't line up with 2-front Bronco bolts, but could drill another hole and install here if you wanted

What the parking sensor sees - top view. That's going to scream at stuff for sure...

Was anyone able to secure this to a Bronco? Pictures? Thanks!

I purchased the BuiltRight plate relocator bracket. It’s very customizable on how to mount it, but if you have parking sensors, this is the only position I found that works.

Very high quality and easy install. Uses an existing bolt holding in the under guard.

They are a CT based company, of which I live near, so I was happy to support local business

Did you put this on your Bronco?

I just drilled a hole in the center of the license plate in line with the existing license plate holes and slotted the edge of the plate in line with the existing holes. Bolted it on with the three existing bolts in the bumper. Took 5 minutes to do. Not a fan of the straight down look and I think it will keep the cops from hassling me.

Yes. This is my Bronco.

 

[NY WLDTRKBRONCO]

Yes. This is my Bronco.

I like it! I am picking my Wiltrak tomorrow, have the exact parts you have, I think it is the best solution for our bumper type. It does not block anything and it sits to the side. Completely appreciate you posting this solution!

It's also a pretty low cost solution.

AHHHH!! Yes! So this works for the tow hook, not the shackle??
I've been killing my self trying to get a shackle mount relocate to work...I have the plain ol plastic stock bumper!

I pick my plates up today so this is getting ordered now!! Thank you!

With the standard bumper/plastic "bash plate" I just attached directly to that. Clean and should be legal.
