Need: Front License Plate Ideas

[Ron]

Good evening.

My front plate got ripped off for the second time in recent washing.

I’m interested in aftermarket install ideas.

In my younger days, I would have never installed it, but I don’t enjoy giving people a reason to take my money. LOL

Anyway, let me know what you guys have found.

My truck had nothing but the two holes in the factory front bumper.

Following; I have been unable to find a contoured license plate bracket for the 2010-2018 RAM 2500/3500. The only idea that I can come up with is to attach a universal adapter plate higher up on the bumper using the two existing holes.

I had that same problem with my truck going thru car washes.

I purchased this license plate frame from Advance Auto Parts and never had another issue of my plate bending or ripping off.

I've shared a link to the following product detail page of Advance Auto Parts that I think would interest you!

I have a galvanized metal plate folded over on the top and bottom.

You slide your plate in under the folds so it's protected inside this metal plate.

It has four holes, and you bolt it onto your original location.

I've had this for years and take it when I get rid of a vehicle with it.

I'm not even sure where it originally came from.

I'm doing research now.

I’ll check to see what is available at the auto parts store.

I know I could solve the problem with heavy-duty mounting hardware, but I like seeing what the aftermarket offers.

I had a pretty neat front license plate mount on my Camaro SS that went well with the bumper's shape.

Might be a problem that needs to be solved $$$$.

OK, I snapped a picture of the frame I have to reinforce my front plate.

I have had this for years.

I have no idea where it came from, but I have had it forever.

It was a GM model, rear filler neck behind plate deal.

Back before, they banned fuel tanks in the rear.

Well, friends, I know it's been a while.

I've been navigating life, anyway.

If you're looking for ideas, I think I found a clean solution to my problem.

I purchased a cruiser accessories front license plate kit from Auto Zone.

It is essentially like an enclosed plastic case for the license plate, much like a phone case.

Instead of using the plastic square retainers with screws, I used some bolts, washers, nuts, and most importantly, some Loctite.

It's been about a week, and it still looks sharp.

I think it looks pretty good and preserves my bronze star plates.

I don't want to have to figure out how to replace them or let them get beat up by all the debris on the road.
