Default bull bar owners?

i got my new bull bar today. looking pretty good. its stainless.i havent put it on yet, having a small issue. my question is what did you do with your license plate? i have to show mine on the front and the skid plate is gonna block it.did you get a license plate relocator bracket like this? if so it looks like it will block putting lights on the bull bar.and i really donnt like the look of it.

I don't see any reason that you can't make your own and put it where you want. Go to an auto parts store and get a license plate holder, and mount it on the bull bar skid plate wherever you want it.

i have seen guys with there plate mounted on the skid plate on the bull bar and i think it takes away from the good looks of the bull bar. i was hoping someone would have a sweet way that they fabbed up for it. so i could steal there idea. lol

If you don't mind drilling some holes, I'd just move the license plate over to the side a little bit. If you have the mounting bracket, it should cover the holes just fine, and still allow you to put some lights on it.

I have the westin bull bar with the relocator kit. I was still able to put 6" fog lights on it with no problem reading the plates. It really doesn't look bad.

You got any pictures of that setup? It'd be nice to see some. I don't plan on putting my license back on up front, but that's because I only have a John Deere one and not a required one.

Here's a pic of my bull bar with the relocator kit installed. Sorry it isn't the best pic. We've had winter like conditions recently and i've been unable to get the truck clean. Let me know if you would like to see it in anyother angle.
