    You can drill 2 holes into the bumper, you can zip tie to your grille or the bar

    Is that what guys do? Take brand new bumper and drill it. Lol. It’s already crazy cutting perfectly hood bumper. Hahah.
    Just curious what guys are doing.

    It's a solid steel point of impact. 2 drill holes are the nicest thing that will happen to that bumper

    Two P-clamps like these on the hoop, with nut and bolt through the top two license plate holes. Drill new holes in the license plate if you need to move it up or down. Be careful not to block the radar.

    I pinched between the bumper and the fairlead for the winch (for a while i had some amazoom special cheap-o fairlead to hold it there before getting a winch)
    with some rubber pads. Scratches up the bumper when it flops around since it's held at one end but otherwise, it's not moved since i got new plates

    but yes, otherwise drill 2 holes into the bumper, pop some rivnuts on it and call it a day.
    not like you're gonna return a bumper once you start cutting up the truck
    :burp:

    they do suck (and as much as i dislike their appearance) it's saved my ass once in rear-end hit-and-run where the dash cam only ever caught the front plate. it's reasons like those that i want to keep them in circulation. however i would like more freedom of what we could do with only the front ones - like just having the EURO-plate style (the long and thin one) or even just the plate numbers painted onto the bumper or something.

    Could also zip-tie it to the grill
