    You could try removing the end pieces. Just undo the bolt

    I can’t because that would involve removing the entire lower support.

    Just simply cut it so it doesn’t stick out past the cross member


    Leave it slide in while you bolt up the lower portion then re install the bolts

    Zip ties!!

    Also I think that's the dumbest law.. just an easy catch for a officer wanting to get more out of someone than just a warning for no front license plate

    Man that kills the front end.

    Haha yes it does. I tied it on and my heart sank a little.. might try to maybe mount it somewhere else but in my little town they're willing to pull you over for throwing a French fry out of the window lol

    Question for you guys also..found a deal on a 10k warn winch.. it's the one that has the frame of the winch sticking up going over the spool. Anyone have one mounted in these? I'm scared it'll hit the top part of the bumper.

    Edit: I know I know, get a tape measure.. I'm out of town for work for a couple days and wanna tell him I'll take I now before it sells from under me.
