    I was also about ready to drill holes in my bumper, but luckily I found this thread.

    I ordered mine on Friday night, Ernest shipped it on Saturday, and it arrived today (Tuesday)! Other than flying to Hawaii and picking it up, I don't think it could have possibly gotten to me more quickly.

    Attached are my before and after photos (not the greatest lighting in my garage). Note the bungee cords in the first photo. Installation was easy.

    Thanks to Ernest for his solution to a [stupid] problem!

    Now to get a decent license plate frame...

    Waiting to hear back from my dealer. When I do I'm going to confirm that I can get the truck without the license plate holes drilled. Here in Maryland the front plate is required. What a great idea you've come up with for those of us who share the hatred for unwanted holes in our vehicles.

    As soon as I know for sure, I'll be placing an order, Ernest. :D

    Ernest,

    Ever looked at doing this for other cars, such as the 2014 Corolla or 2014 Rav4? :p

    @BobReck: A family member of mine came home with a drilled 4Runner. The dealer's excuse was that they're required to install the license plate before leaving the lot. But I got my truck from that same dealer without being forced to install my plates. I think they just do it so they can install their dealer's tag frame. I'm not sure.
    Anyways, PM me when you're ready so I can send you a Paypal invoice. Thank you!

    @judgeman6970: I am really glad you like the bracket. And you're welcome!

    @Cory: I been really busy with creating my website(www.slybrackets.com) that I haven't had much time to finalize the other model brackets that I'm working on. I hope to be able to add more brackets to the list soon.

    Man, I'm so happy I found this thread. I was dreading having to drill my new Tacoma. I just ordered a set and looking forward to installing them soon.
    Thanks!
