front bumper license plate mount hardware?

Feb 21, 2004 4 Replies

All,



I've an 03 Wrangler. Just yesterday, I got my plates from the DMV. However, it is not clear how to mount the plate on the front bumper - there is no license plate holder of any kind.



Is there an aftermarket license plate bracket/kit that anyone can recommend?


Thanks!


Yeah, I ended up using 8mm by 25mm screws with some washers to space the plate out a bit. Put it dead center.

I had been intending to use bolts secured from behind with nuts, but there is a tubular reinforcment in the center of the bumper that makes that difficult or impossible. So I just used the screws themselves.

Mounting on the left or right side would require drilling the plate, as the rubber bumper guards don't allow the plate to fit over the holes properly.

I put mine on the front left with a cheapo kit from NAPA..but even their cheap kit was solid black stainless steel, for $5.99, unlike the dealer's plastic one for $40 or whatever. It fit on the side by putting one screw in a high hole and one in a low. 2 screws seemed like enough.
