    I was wondering if anyone knows what I can do to mount my confederate plate on the front bumper without covering the hole where the light bar will be. My truck did mot come with a tag bracket on the front. Any help is appreciated.

    This is how I did it; I used a bracket from ebay_ Just search jdm license plate relocator on ebay. It's only like 5 bucks; Don't mind the cut up plastic, I still need to make it look nicer(had to cut it to install the light bar on the aluminum front support without the expensive rigid brackets)

    Snapchat-1963645399.jpg Snapchat-677011277.jpgHere's what it looks like... It's practical for mounting a 20 inch light bar, pods will mount fine. I wouldn't mount bigger than a 25 inch on this thing. It's a sturdy piece of metal held in by the 2 screws from your license plate. It's not gonna fall off however it does have a little wiggle room which can POSSIBLY rattle unless you have a silicone frame for your license plate which effectively eliminates any rattling. It's not that expensive all in all and definitely worth the purchase if your looking for a cheap alternative for lighting.
    I'm planning to experiment with magnetic mounts so I can mount on the top of my bumper or on the hood
