(something in stock is preferred!)

What bumper do you have? There are different solutions for each bumper type.

I think this one may be the best no-drill option for the capable bumper. Also relocates it in a much better location as well IMHO. The owner/builder of this product has posted here in the past too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/115338472664

For some reason that location looks really odd to me, but if I were in the OPs situation and didn't want holes I would go for it.

By the way do you happen to know if there are any differences between the base bumper and the capable bumper other than fog lights? They look the same in the renderings other than that. I am fine with the stock location on my Base. For my Black Diamond with Modular bumper almost all options seemed ugly, I got to dealer before they could mess up the bumper on that one.

I also live in NJ, I have the modular bumper and decided there is NO WAY I’m drilling holes in my thousand dollar bumper. I’ve been driving with an omitted front plate since May without any problems…. So far.

If this is really temporary/short-term, I'd consider using some 3M Dual Lock and just sticking the plate to a flat spot on the bumper.

If it's temporary, why not zip ties?

If it is a steel bumper, perhaps use strong magnets?

For the plastic bumpers, I'd try the BuiltRight Industries kit:

I also live in NJ, I have the modular bumper and decided there is NO WAY I’m drilling holes in my thousand dollar bumper. I’ve been driving with an omitted front plate since May without any problems…. So far.
I was going to suggest the DV8 license plate bracket kit for the OP but then saw he has the plastic bumpers. For you, I'd consider the DV8:

I’m heading that way too In Nj. I know lots of people not using a front license plate here in NJ without issue.

Just got my Builtright Industries relocation bracket today. They have no drill brackets for the Mod, base and capable bumpers. Relocates plate in front of passenger side hook, removed with 1 bolt. $85 shipped, got here in 3 days, now I just need my Bronco to put it on.
