This is what I plan to use given a front plate is required in Iowa: https://www.fishboneoffroad.com/products/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=90&idcategory=0
This looks like it will work on the passenger side tow loop, and should keep the plate out of the way of any of the sensors, and avoid drilling...
No hate - Tacos are solid trucks (had lots of fun with the one I owned a few years back) - it will serve you well in what ever adventure you choose. Congrats on the new Toy!
My current daily driver is a 4 door wrangler, which we use for most of our family road trips. The wrangler normally has sufficient space, but I'm hoping the bronco will have better road manners with the IFS, but I will have to find a solution to the missing cup holders, as I know with long trips...
A current JL owner, that has had the noted JL wander -- adjusting tire presser from the 45 set at the dealer was the easiest change, but I can also attest that the TSB and new steering box is a significant improvement. We take the Jeep on almost every road trip (that way we can do some trails...
I know that Ace Engineering (https://aceengineeringandfab.com/) and Barricade (https://www.extremeterrain.com/barricade-rock-sliders-2018-jl-4-door.html) both have options for a slider that can be used on Jeep Rubicons with the factory rock rails -- I'm hoping both produce a similar option for...

Sticking around to see how others mod and build out their Broncos - always enjoy watching how other owner/enthusiasts make their rigs their own, and provide ideas for my own future changes (sadly staying here will have a negative impact on my wallet!)
I'm a current Jeep owner and I think you will always have those loyalist that love their brand. Each product is going to have its strong points, and hopefully the new added competition in the market will encourage improvements in that market (you know like - no death wobble in a Jeep; and some...
Sadly, this is the extreme terrain we have here in Iowa - so we have to drive several hours to hit any good trails, but I would expect level 5-6 (which is what I do with my current Jeep when we take off-road/road trips).
Checking in from Davenport. Love the midwest (but a bit sick of the snow at the moment), and jealous of those that are closer to good offroad trails. I've wheeled my current jeep on a few road trips, but I wish there were some better options nearby.
