    The ebay listing titled "2016-2018 Toyota Tacoma Front License Plate Bracket Holder Mount" is scheduled to start early Friday morning on 8/24/18. That means orders should hit the post office by Monday 08/27/18. I will pm a reminder to everyone who made a request Thursday night. Once the ad starts I will update post #1 with the new ebay link. For the great white north folks I will get a shipping quote before the ad starts. At least 30 are still available of the next 50.

    Got mine today, it’s nice!
    Was wondering if there should be rubber spacers between the plate and the bracket too though. My plate bends in between the other screws when I tighten it up.

    Mine pulls flat. Wondering if either your license plate has a bow in it or if the holes in your license plate are too close together or too far apart. Should not need anything between the plate and the bracket. First time I heard of something like this. I did suggest in the instructions that some license may need one hole filed bigger. All 5 plates I use for templates vary on the hole spacing by a couple of millimeters . Test this by only putting one screw in the plate and snug it. If it pulls flat then you may need to slightly file the other hole in your license plate. If you cannot figure it out pm some pictures to me. Another suggestion for something this odd would be putting a strip of duct tape on the back of your license plate between the holes. See if that does anything. Just seems strange. Flat against flat equals flat.

    False alarm! It was all user error on my part! Mrproduxn was nothing but helpful in getting it sorted out for me, and went above and beyond in doing so. For that reason alone (and that this is so much better than the stock bracket), I recommend everyone buy this!

    Added and thank you.
    UPDATE: The raw material should be here tomorrow-hopefully will not need much prep to start drilling, milling and tapping them. Bought new cutting tools this weekend. Received and pre-packaged mounting hardware. Made and printed better instruction sheets with pictures. Packing and shipping materials should be here Wednesday. All on schedule to start selling by Friday and shipping by next Monday.
    Off work tomorrow but have to attend a funeral, get one car inspected, change oil and rotate tires on 2 cars. Then working day job rest of week. Going to work on these every night to get at least 25 made by Friday. Gonna be a busy week.

    Plate material arrived at 730 tonight. Will get busy after work tomorrow. Got to remove a storm damaged tree too sometime this week.
    Worked on that some today while waiting for plate material. Worst of it is in the neighbors yard. Always something.

    UPDATE. Already drilled mounting holes in 50 plates. Still need to countersink them. Then have to drill and tap license plate mounting holes. Plates this run are cut a little shorter (better) so edges of bracket will not show or stick out past license plate edges. On schedule for Friday morning release provided bubble wrap mailers get here on time.

    UPDATE: 50 plates drilled and countersunk for mounting screws. Next is to drill and tap for license plate screws. Then polish, deburr, clean and package with hardware.
