License plate / LED light bar

Idk how old that is but i passed recon an safety with my front plate zip tied to my grill no problems from either places

 

I can't find the one I read a while back about the plate having to be lower than the head lights. But I did find the following:

Haw. Rev. Stat. § 249-7 : Hawaii Statutes - Section 249-7: Number plates.
(Excerpt)
"The owner shall securely fasten the number plates on the vehicle, one on the front and the other on the rear, at a location provided by the manufacturer or in the absence of such a location upon the bumpers of the vehicle and in conformance with section 291-31, in such a manner as to prevent the plates from swinging. Number plates shall at all times be displayed entirely unobscured and be kept reasonably clean."

 

no front plate, but I have a set of those Sly Brackets made by the guy on Maui. my light bar is mounted on an angle iron, bolted to the aluminum crash bar using the pre-existing holes.

 

Short lived light bar in lower valance with relocated plate. Used one of those "JDM" brackets.

 

Well guys, I have a solution as I have just started a thread where I am selling a Low Mount License Plate Bracket for 2nd Generation Tacomas. Check out the thread below and a picture of what it looks like on my truck. Its legal, sturdy, rust free and looks good.

Wish I knew about this before I bought the Sly Bracket for $40!

Sorry....

 

What I did was just drill a couple holes in the license plate to shift the plate up just above the lower valence. Still looks fine.

 

Haven't had any over heating problems yet...I've also wanted to move my plates but haven't really given it a lot of thought \

 

Any pics.....

 

@polekasta got a pic of yours to share?

 

I got one.
