Really like the built right option.

That doesn't look like the capable bumper?

I bought one from @HBTFD that fits the capable and modular bumper. No drilling required.

I got a new bumper and winch now and will be changing setups if someone is interested in this one. I don’t think he is selling them anymore.

IT's the standard plastic bumper for the Big Bend, but Built RIght makes a similar design for the modular bumpers.

He has definitely stopped selling them. It's a shame because it was a great/inexpensive solution

Giving the middle finger to the cops in a nanny state isn't a good idea and results in a lot of fix-it tickets. Ask me how I know...

Guess that's the difference between Portland and Utah. Most people here southern Utah leave them off. Never heard of a citation for it

Been ticketed multiple times for no front plate. Not while driving, but when parked. Not like the police don't have better things to do like catch shoplifters, drug dealers or anything like that. Just another reason to get out of Dodge as soon as I can...

Ditto here in CA, last I heard you can’t even be pulled over just for not having a front plate. However they can still write you up if you’re pulled over for speeding, etc.

He gave his inventory to TickleMyBronco.com and they appear to still be available there:

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.

I had the builtright on my last F150, went with them again for the Bronco. Couldn’t be happier. Super easy install, looks great.

It is easier to track the bad guys when you have a license plate number.... I know, some times they steel cars... but some times they are dumb enough to use their own. video or pics can catch the front plate.... sometimes.

I chose the DV8 2021-2023 FORD BRONCO | FACTORY FRONT BUMPER LICENSE RELOCATION BRACKET | CENTER

great product, all steel and bolted between front bumper and skid plate.

BuiltRight lives up to the name IMO. Best no drill option for anyone with a plastic bumper.

I believe it's a tack on violation in NJ too. Haven't heard of it being used as a reason to pull someone over. Just an extra fine if you encounter a "spirited" officer...

If anyone in the greater Atlanta area needs one, I have an old front mount for the capable bumper from @HBTFD that I no longer use. I needed it when I lived in California for a little bit. It did the job, but I took it off as soon as I left. Unfortunately, I realize that people in Georgia are not a great market for this. Maybe I'll bring it up to my daughter near Detroit and let her sell it or give it away.
