License Plates & Body Armor Hi-Line Bumpers

Those of you that run the Body Armor Hi-Line Bumper and live in states that require a front license plate—where do you mount your front plate? I have a bracket that mounts under the winch but that puts the license plate over the cutout for the light bar, which is going to block a large portion of the light bar's output.

I could drill into the bumper to mount it under the hawse fairlead, but that's going to put it pretty close to the ground. And there doesn't look to be enough space to mount it to the left or right of the winch. I previously zip-tied a license plate to the hoop on top, but that's a recipe for getting the plate stolen.

 

I've seen some people zip tie it to the grille

 

I thought of it, but I've had my front license plate stolen before so I was hoping for a more secure solution.

 

What did you end up doing? I'm looking at a few different bumper options and trying to plan ahead.

 

A number of people get a flip-up mount so that it can still go over the winch.

 

Any chance you know of one that would fit over a Factor55? Not sure what I'm going with, but just curious.

 

I'm sure a few of the brackets on Amazon would.

 

I drilled some holes and attached mine above the winch on the desert series bumper.

 

I am far away from my Tacoma for a while and I wanted to see a picture of it so here's another angle.
