Anyone with no front plate in states that require it are just lucky, so far. The lion doesn't kill every gazelle, every drunk driver doesn't get caught every time they drive drunk. Most deputies and troopers will stop you for not having one if they aren't on a call, can get around fo stop you, or see you. City po!ice it is variable. Some city police don't have time to do it because of call loads. Some are lazy. But every LEO knows that someone that doesn't have proper vehicle/traffic compliance is very likely violating one or more laws - broken windows theory. So why gamble on an expensive ticket for a vanity issue? You know that back plate looks really ugly - get rid of that. And inspection stickers - who needs an inspection. Back in the good old days of law enforcement if someone had a vehicle violation you just pulled them over and kept beating them with your sap until they fixed it.:rock:

Expedition One Front Bumper didn't come with provision for front license plate so i made my own. works great for protecting the synthetic winch cable also.

I'm in New York and the only attention I've gotten from police is compliments. I even asked a few of them that stopped long enough to ask about my jeep, and they took one quick look and said "its there, and I'd be looked at like a jackass in the judges eye, if I wrote a summons about it being at an angle".

Anyone in Texas using the angle stealth Maximus plate holder had a problem? I like it but the current 'code' says vertical. I support and have a respectful relations with law enforcement but sometimes with some guys it can get irritating and I prefer to avoid those interactions.

They did leave out enforcement at one point but have since corrected that to up to 500 fine. I just read somewhere that placement be vertical and the bottom no more than 12" from the ground. Obviously these are not a priority or I would have had a bunch of tickets so far on my lifted yukon and truck. I just put mine on with the mopar supplied bracket for now. When I get my winch I will look at options again.

I only saw posts here about after market license plate brackets. On my JLUR it didn't come with the correct factory mopar license plate bracket. In fact it came with the one for the non-steel bumper. So here is the correct part number for the steel bumper one: 68295610AA. Here is a pic on my Jeep.

Mine does also - but only if the mounting is supplied by the manufacturer. If my steel bumper doesn't come with the mounting plate it is going plateless ;) Definitely a cleaner look.
Easy solution for me ... I have a winch as well. Bought industrial strength velcro and some metal glue and slid the license plate up under the winch a little bit.. No holes and it has gone thru a Colorado winter at 9300' elev where I live and I keep checking it and its solid as a rock and won't damage your bumper if you need to remove it.

I think I used some self tapping screws that when into the stock plastic plate. Not ideal but I needed an inspection sticker.

Anyone have a part number for the new 24 Wrangler with factory winch? I want to see what the factory does for a license plate bracket with winch.
