    Does anybody know where I could find a front license plate mount, or a good brand for a universal mount? I'm in Canada, moving from NL to NB and I'm going to need one soon.

    First place I'd check would be the nearest Dealer in NB.

    Or if you want to mount below the lower grill, google 2006 dodge ram 1500 front license plate bracket. It fits our lower valence almost like it was made for it.

    KeithB...that is a very nice option...would it install if one had the front skip plate? Although, so glad we have no requirement for front plates here.
    Cheers, Jeff

    Never had the skid plate so not sure how much it wraps up in front of the lower valence or how much clearance.

    Thanks for all the info everyone! I like the look of that lower mounting kit. I'll make sure to post pictures when I get it and install it!
