Whats a front plate?

Took mine off, cops never hassled me for it.

Seems like one of our vendors would make a Raptor worthy plate mount that attaches to the tow hook. Seems like a low cost, high volume item that they could charge a Raptor tax on.

Agreed, the swarfworks looks much nicer than I could possibly make in my garage with a workbench, vise, drill, and mallet. But @ $119.00 MSRP, really!?

I was planning on going without one and taking my chances with the po-po. Over ~25 years I got a ticket twice, both events involved a ticket for something other than plate, they just tacked it on as good ***** servants. Regardless charges were dropped for both since I showed up to the annex with a plate attached by Velcro tape. They only viewed it from 20-60 yards away and checked off some box on form # JNV - 323891- rev46a and essentially tore up the ticket for the missing plate.

However when I showed up to pick up my truck last Halloween the dealership in the small town (I had a hard time with local upsellers) already had it attached, never even asked if I wanted the holes drilled. The last 8 cars/trucks I've bought they asked. Oh well, it is not that big of a deal having one, it is the location in front of the IC that bugs me most.

I relocated my plate when I added my light bar. I got this one from Amazon and it clamps onto my tow hook. It's an ok fix for now in hopes my state will stop requiring a front plate. I'm guessing one big jump is gonna kill it, though. For awhile I just had the plate in my windscreen.

Coming back from the Valley I was pulled over in small town (Alice) as police seen I had no front plate on. He gave me a warning. He said the main reason he stopped me is that most stolen trucks are missing a plate or both and they running to the border.....and this sure is a nice truck! Nice guy actually. Funny thing is I have to go through the border check station each trip back and they never say a damn thing about no plate. (Must be bigger issues..heh)

Blocks some of the sensors. I have one and when I use it I get warning popping up.

Look up swarfworks front plate mount...best I have found...I hate front plates but my area has gotten worse over the years, tired of dealing with it. Mounts to the front tow hook and is built like a tank.

^^ This.
Although I still need to install when I get back from vacation.

The radar cruise sensor is under the plastic part of the bumpor on the driver's side. If you offset the license plate, move it to the passenger's side.
