Front License Plate Option for the R

[FullSend]

I scoured the Internets and this forum trying to find a good front License plate option, but surprisingly couldn't find anything for the R. Front plate is required here in CO and didn't want to drill into front bumper. The red square hooks can't accommodate the tow hook options that the non-R versions can use. I found this cheap molle panel style one on Amazon and used one of the pairs of T40 Bolts on the Front to mount the adaptor plate. Probably not necessary, but I used some nylon washers in between the bumper and plate, and also some thin/small foam backing where I thought the plate might touch the bumper. Thought it worked out really well and wanted to share this for others looking for an option.

Any of these work because I just used the mounting plate itself:

You don’t have to drill into the bumper, the two holes are already there.

Ah yup, fair enough. Was thinking it was the same as the Ranger and Bronco Raptors. But still like this mount placement better.

Call the dealership, if it's required in your state I think they are supposed to provide the kit. My first Raptor didn't have it and I had to insist the dealership send it to me and they did, wrong one though.

I purchased out of state, but they still gave me one. But point being I don't like the LP blocking that lower vent and this is just another option for those that feel the same.

Move to an Arizona.

They don’t require front plates.

Insurance is cheaper, gas is cheaper less traffic and of course it’s a Red State

Wish my state offered black license plates.

Haha, I hear you man. Grew up in CO and it isn't the same as it use to be. Turning into Calirado. Will move to a Red State at some point. I love AZ.

They just started them a couple years ago and now they are all over the place. Looks so much cleaner on the Raptor.
