Hawse Fairlead License Plate Bracket recommendations

[Dane]

I'm looking to see if anyone has any recommendations for a hawse fairlead license plate bracket. I'm planning on installing an SDHQ winch plate and winch with synthetic line in my stock bumper and would like to relocate my license plate using one of these. I'm specifically looking at the Rugged Ridge and the Roc Dog Fab ones, but would like to know if people have better or ideas or prefer one over the other.

Did you ever figure out a solution for the license plate bracket? I just installed my ADD Stealth Winch Bumper and a Warn 9.5 cti-s. ADD sold me a Warrior Hawse Fairlead license plate bracket, but it doesn't fit the massive fairlead of this winch. I'm looking at the Roc Dog Fab Hawse Fairlead bracket - just not sure if it will fit properly.

Sorry, never noticed your post. I went with the Roc Dog. It fits fine, the only issue is that the rope is kinda in the way so it doesn't sit as flush on one side. It's really firm and won't fall out. You could fix the misalignment bit with some spacers or ingenuity, I just haven't yet.

Thanks! Where did you buy it? I've seen various prices. My main concern is that pics of the item look pretty different, at least the plugs look different.

I ordered it online straight from them, though it later turned out they were local - in Aurora if I recall. I don't know if they have a store or what. Their website seems to be toast right now, so I can't confirm.

Not sure what you mean by it looking different. They had two types, a roller fairlead and a hawse fairlead. They were similar, but the roller style had longer plugs to reach into the roller.

Well crap, now I need a second one of these things and I don't think the place I bought the first one from exists any more!
