So my horror story is I took delivery of my Rubicon with steel bumper on April4. They brought it up from Delaware, which does not require a front plate. It did not come with a front bracket. I live in Massachusetts, which requires a front plate. My dealer supposedly ordered one for me but I have yet to see it. Don't want to bad mouth the dealer, but come on!

You're probably going to want to put a wedge or do something later anyway just or you one of those brackets were at mounts underneath the bumper. But I know it's a principal of it they should have taken care of you

That's real nice but I'm sure you pay a lot for it. I paid 20 bucks for mine as long as you got the rollers on the winch plate four wheel parts has one has the plate bracket that you mount to and then on the back it has two clips and it Clips onto those rollers and you can just take it off when you want but I don't want to cover up the factor 55 if I'm going to spend $130 for that factor 55 I want it to show lol

I dunno if that’s quite a horror story, lol. Your dealer will be able to get you one, mine had to order one as well. And I got it even though likely won’t use it

What did you pay for that flip one if it was a lot you should send it back and get the one from 4wheelparts that just Clips on looks very nice and you can take it off quick and not have to worry about it getting damaged by still being on there unless you like that style and don't mind

Yes, a bracket came with my Rubicon. I haven't received my plates yet so I haven't installed it.

The rest of the story is i just received my registration in the mail yesterday and it hasnt been inspected yet. I’ve been driving it around for over two weeks without a sticker. And I don’t want to bolt my license plate directly to the bumper without a bracket.

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
Front license relocation bracket is available I just can't remember if it was in the Mopar brochure or if I saw it on an online retailer

I ordered my Rubi a few days ago and my dealer said the cars come pre drilled from the factory. I think he's feeding me bs because I told him to not install the front plate. This was for a steel bumper group

Not true, dealer drills the holes when it arrives. I asked mine not to drill and they left the bracket in its packaging in my Jeep
