2023 Tacoma Front License Plate Mounting

Check out the link in post 6 that @Just_A_Guy added to my post.

 

Repurposed Bronco Mount worked great. Pleased with the results (pictured below) thanks for your input and help everyone.

 

No problem. Just remember your approach angle is significantly decreased now if you decide to go off-road. Remembering and removing is better than forgetting and tearing something up.

 

Truth! Appreciate that! Don't anticipate doing any off roading, but will certainly be conscious of that if I do. Not something I would have thought about prior to your mentioning it!

 

I bought my Sport in Maryland but I have a Delaware address...they did not install the front license bracket.

The idea to have a different attachment is great!

 

Had mine in three or four locations, this one seems to be working the best for me.

 

I make hidden, height adjustable small 2nd gen, large and small 3rd gen and full size fairlead mount brackets on occasion. They bolt directly in the holes from, and are direct no drill replacements for, the oem bracket. Fairlead style is made to fit the open standard fairlead bolt pattern on aftermarket bumpers without a winch (shown on SSO bumper).

 

4 zip ties

 

Lic plate holes in the bumper are the next owner’s problem.

Years ago I was able to get color matched plugs for my Acura at the dealership. Fortunately my front bumper is unpainted plastic so any old plug works.

 

Bhunsi1 - weee you ever successful in modding that Bronco license plate holder for your Tacoma? If so can you post pic?
Thanks,

My state requires a plate. It’s just 2 little holes in the valance, very minor. The bracket Toyota has for $12.

If you are required to have a front plate, why not use the OEM bracket. IMO It looks fine.

 

Above pic is using the Bronco mount in the center location. Hard to tell from the pic, but it sits 2"
higher than the skid plate, so it doesn't affect my clearance, and the bottom of the plate is 12" off the ground. I'm super happy with the result (that is, until one of you tells me what an idiot I am for putting it there LOL!!
