I need suggestion(s) and/or access to aftermarket kits for mounting my front license plate. My 2012 JK has an AEV front bumper with Warn winch mount. I'm using a synthetic winch line so the slot in the bumper is the small fairlead. My state, Colorado, requires the front plate. Thanks.

Do you have a hawse fairlead or a roller fairlead? If you have a hawse fairlead I mounted my license plate just above it on my AEV premium front bumper. See my photos..

So I am assuming you mean that you have a hawse style fairlead. In which case you have several options:

You can get the license plate mounts from Kilby:

Or you can get this from Roc Dog Fab (who I believe are in CO):

These are both nice clean options. I will check them out - thanks.

just FYI. In the second pic, the one for the roller fairlead, those are Maglight mounts. Can be had at any store that sells Maglights. I just drilled holes through my plate, and used 2 Maglight mounts, and long machine screws. Works great.

Used zip ties to the stinger when i wheeled the rubicon..... expecting leo presence. Never been bothered locally...3 yrs....Knock on wood. Not gonna spend $30 to mount a frikin plate :koolaid:

I am in the same dilemma... I was thinking about about drilling two holes in the plate and mounting in between my BFH and the disco skid, haven't really looked into it just thinking of a place to put it

Here's another option with synthetic rope that is removable and easy to install!

No bracket. Just "sandwiched" the plate between the fairlead and the winchplate. Been like that for 4 months and about 3k mi. No problems. And cheap!

i just drilled some holes into my bumper n bolted the license plate to the bumper..

 

[usmcdoc14]

wedged between the fairlead and bumper clamping it in place, then bent and attached to the winch

When I had a larger bumper I drilled and tapped holes into the bumper and bent it to match the angles.

^^^ This!

$0.30 in sheet metal screws beats $40+ in high-tech gadgetry every day in my book.

FWIW, I see guys often losing their front plates on the trail with those snap-off mounts. You are supposed to take them off before wheeling to avoid loss, but most folks forget.

This is what I have

I got a slip-in deal plate mount that just slides in the hawse and is held in place by some rubber wedges. Made by an outfit called Roc Dog Fab.

You can just pull the plate off and stash it under the seat when on the trail.
