I might be purchasing a steel rear bumper that does not come with a relocation bracket. I do not want to put one on the spare tire as I like having it on the bumper. If anyone purchased a rear bumper like this, did you purchase a bracket and drilled on the bumper and if so, what was it and where did you purchase it from?
For comparison, this is something like I would like to do.

Don't do it. That style license plate bracket is a pain in the butt. I have one of the same quadratec license plate brackets on my Jeep, and the license plate sticks out past the body so far that you are always catching it with your trousers when you walk buy. It can't even survive a drive through car wash without bending the license plate. Here is what mine looks like now. After having the license plate get bent a few dozen times I just left it bent in, because that is better than being bent out.

I plan on switching to one of these instead.

Although, still thinking about it, and will be interested in seeing what others have come up with.

Lol, don't plan on going through the car wash. Also not going to do crazy off-roading, just some fun light and moderate trails. Still not feeling the plate on wheel look. Also am interested in other ideas. Thanks!

Welded up a simple box out of 1” angle and used riv nuts to secure it to the bumper. Im shit with a welder but it’s not structural. Held up fine through abuse as long as you don’t catch it on something but if you do you’ll probably have bigger problems.
