    Is it possible to put a front license plate with a bullbar on the truck? cause Im gonna have to put a front license plate on my truck because of Texas state laws, and i was wondering if i can put a license plate up front with out getting pulled over for obstructed license plate.

    Will it block the plate completely? There are many in Texas that claim to go years with out the front plate and never get hassled by the cops. I have always run my front plate and I hate them. See if you can find a better way to attach the plate without drilling holes in your bumper. The dealer got me before I could stop them:mad: The sport cars seem to get away with no front plate easier for some reason. Why the move to big TX if you don't mind me asking?

    Why don't you attach it to the bull bar?

    Welcome back:)....you could put it on the bumper and I don't think it would be a problem with the cops. Lots of people run that setup, I think I would want it on the bar anyway. That way you won't have to drill your truck. Should be easy to attach to the bull bar.
