Tremor w/ winch Front License Plate Solution

[pnwpaddler]

We live in a state that requires front and rear plates. Our truck has the factory warn winch and Ford bumper option which removes the front license plate holder. And, because of the sensors in the bumper, moving the plate to the left or right is a challenge. Does anyone have a known solution for this? I'm hoping for a solution that allows the plate to be mounted over the wench and flips up or down or is easily movable. Been googling but have not come across something I think will work. There's very little room around the fairlead and it is recessed a little. Thanks

Something like this? Assuming you aren’t using your winch all the time. Could almost put a different pin in the back too

Check with dealer in case Ford offers something, really they should have an alternate bracket for it.

The early Ecoobost trucks kicked the plate off to the side on the front bumper to help with intercooler airflow in the center of the bumper for example.

Ford should have an alternative bracket for it for sure... Their solution is the a front plate bracket that clips onto the bumper and stands in front of the winch. It will work, but requires removal of the bracket to use the winch. So. I'm just wondering if anyone knows of something that will do the job without removing the bracket.

Probably not what you’re looking for now that I re-read your post.

Thought I saw a couple flip up brackets that went behind the fairlead while googling. I’ll keep poking. Got nothing else going on at the moment.

This?

But I see what you’re saying about the tight clearances. This one looks like it might poke out far enough though…
