Addicted Offroad front bumper license plate

[TMAC110]

Hey guys i'm new to the whole forum thing here but i'm looking into buying an addicted offroad front bumper for my 1994 runner but i'm kinda curious about ways to mount a front license plate on it? If anyone has any good ways of making it work or suggestions please let me know and post some pictures! thanks!

If you scroll down this page they have a mount for the tube bumpers.

The license plate kinda messes up the bumper's look in my opinion so I originally had the plate in the cab on the dash. Then I got a ticket in down town Denver because the plate wasn't 'fixed'. So I just used steel zip ties to attach my plate to the tube that goes from the 1/2" side winch plate to the passenger side tube. It doesn't look the best because it's not level, but oh well.

That license plate holder kit looks nice. You'd have to screw a screw through the middle of the plate on one of the holders to have the license plate level, but I think that would be the best solution.

Has anyone tried using Rare Earth Magnets? with a steel bumper (and the plate in a steel "holder") you would not have to drill and could move it around as needed.

Rare Earth Magnets are ridiculously strong, so I wouldn't be to concerned about the plate falling off.

Those are really strong. I'm sure they would hold the license plate just fine when you're not moving but where you're cruising on the highway with winds or driving though brush, I bet they wouldn't hold.

Ive done this with a fake vanity plate I have that i sometimes throw on when wheeling, and yes, they hold VERY well :lookout:

Mag-lite clips do wonders:

We also have pre-drilled holes for the license plate on the dimpled skid. Yes, its at an angle, but its at least legal as well.

Care to share what size magnets you used. Sounds like it may be an easy fix.
