Front License Plate Solutions for Capable Bumper

[RCR]

UPDATE: For those of us with the capable bumper and who don’t want to drill holes in the front of their broncos for the license plate, I thought I’d share a few options that have been brought to my attention after originally posting here a rudimentary zip tie solution to at least get the plate on the truck for those of us who live in mandatory front plate states. Thanks to @Karl_in_Chicago, @ColoradoBroncoFan and @Tripodbruno for their contributions. If anyone else has additional options please post them.

DV8 has one. Straight or slanted.

Not too pretty but good enough for me for now, or until a bracket comes to market.

I was about to post a link and just realized HBTFD has stopped selling his bumper bracket; I have it on my Badlands capable bumper and it has worked well for me (doesn't help you, obviously). Another member suggests DV8 but I have no first hand experience so can't comment there.
If you are going to stick with the zip tie approach you may wish to consider stainless steel zip ties as they will last much longer that those plastic/nylon jobs and be more resistant to UV and weather degradation. I'd still take the bracket over zips, though, but if that isn't an option the SS > nylon IMO.

Thanks I had no idea this was out there. Will be buying asap.

Thanks, didn’t even think about SS zips. Looks like the DV8 option is the way to go. Somehow missed that. I appreciate the response.

Ticklemybronco worked for me!

I would have bought the DV8 version, but I had just made my own that mounts to the same location out of 1/8" flat aluminum.

Doesn’t anyone make a magnetic option? Like the way dealerships use the magnetic mounts to move the plate to whatever vehicle is going on the test drive? Arizona here so no need for a front plate but the capable bumper is metal from my understanding, right? No need to drill holes or have a permanent option but strong magnets aren’t very expensive and with strength of 3D Printing continuing to rise, seems like someone would have made one by now.

Sounds like you should 3d print one and corner the market!

I don’t have a 3D printer or else maybe I would. I’m more of a make one off things for myself, don’t really have that trait to make things and then raise the price to be able to sell for profit. Wish I did because I have so many ideas going through my head everyday.

I recommend Sto N Sho. I was one of their first customers with the capable bumper. I used them on my mustangs. They are all metal and can quick detach if you are going off-roading or at a car show.

The DV8 straight is superb for my Heritage Edition.

 

[cjled]

I'll 2nd the Sto n Sho. Have one on mine and it goes on easy and is readily removable. Have used them on a few cars now.

Really like the built right option.
