License placement with tube bumper

I have Marlin Crawler tube bumpers. I have my front license plate mounted to the holes on which the winch fairlead is to be mounted. I do not yet have a winch, but plan on getting one soon.

My question is, for those of us who live in states where the front license plate must be legally mounted, where would I mount my front license plate after I install the winch?

Pictures would be nice. Thanks!

I think the best thing to relocate is YOU and leave the PRC.

They make a fold down plate thing for exactly what you are talking about.

Front license plate must be shown to the front. It cannot be deflected by wind or other means- it must be stationary.

It may have a protective shield placed in front of it, provided the shield does not interfere with photometric devices such as red light cameras.

Move the plate to the left or right, and secure it and that's all you would have to do.

There are lots of companies that make aftermarket plate mounts and are pretty universal. you could also ziptie to the grille or something jerry rigged like that
