Front License Plate Bracket Options (With Hidden Winch)

[604Bronco]

I was wondering if anyone has a good solution for the front license plate mount for Bronco’s with the modular bumper, which has a hidden winch installed? You don’t necessarily need to have a hidden winch, but this is the reason why I’m looking.

I currently have the front license plate mount from @HBTFD - which is awesome - however it will likely impact the winch when I have it installed.

I also can’t have anything that blocks the ends of the modular bumper, as I have pocket lights in these areas. I have shackles on my Bronco too, so that’s not a viable solution either.

Any other good options on the market, that aren’t the ugly OEM option? I noticed DV8 has a fold down option, but unclear if this will work in this area since it’s on a bit of a slant vs. a standard non-hidden winch.

Thanks, in advance!

Rough Country makes a bracket that sandwiches between the fairlead and the hook and can be easily removed by loosening the winch hook if you’re going off road

I left my front license plate off, I didn’t/don’t like any of the options for mounting.

Hmm, this might be the way to go. Do you happen to have a link for this?

Thanks very much.

I haven't found a good solution yet. So the plate is off in the front. It's only an issue here if you park downtown Portland where there's a meter. They can give you a ticket for the plate. Fortunately I never go down there.

But I'll still look for an option.

Have the exact same question/problem. I had an aftermarket relocation bracket in the center below the modular bumper but had rough country hidden winch installed. I too have fog lights and shackles. Seems there should still be room on the modular number given all the holes and preset screws. But I haven't seen anything other than the rough country fairlead option which would have to be removed when Off-road. Would love to see some other options.

If your state or province issued you two, you must display both. You're at risk for a ticket. Also gives an officer a silly reason to stop you if he wants for some reason.
