Rubicon front license plate bracket

[Rubidouxit]

Does the JL Rubicon come with a front license plate bracket specifically for the steel front bumper for us unfortunate ones who live in states requiring a front license plate?

Sorry this won’t help you, but so happy I live in Quebec where there’s no front license plate, and we can enjoy the design as it was intended to look like (and the additional taxes or whatsoever but eh, can’t have it all lol)

Hoping they come out with something soon for those of us who need a front plante but are installing a winch with the OEM bumper

They have to come with it in areas where it is required, by law.

The aftermarket is already on it. Just one example.

My dealer just ran 2 self taping screws in my bumper on my my JK before I picked it up. I was not happy.

I am considering velcro for my next vehicle. Thats how I'm holding my control box for my winch on, it has worked great for over a year now.

Is this a law you can cite? I would bet that 3/4 of the cars produced today have no place for a front plate.

They have to be DOT legal. I really don't want to go searching it up, because that is a waste of time.

There doesn't need to be a "bracket". There just has to be a mounted plate to the front.

That's the bracket I'm talking about. Did it come attached from the factory or did the dealer install it? BTW, congrats on taking delivery of your new Rubicon, it must feel great!

Had that exact plate holder on my JK. Pics with winch on the steel bumper didn’t look like that one would work. I’m sure something will come out soon.
