License plate relocation in 5 minutes

Self tapping screws? I how your state doesn't charge to replace lost plates. That's not going to hold for long.

Like I said I used the same factory screws. If the screws I used didn't work I guess the plates would be falling off all our trucks

The factory bracket is held on with pop rivets, not self tapping screws.

I'm installing the front plate bracket today and the kit I got with the truck came with 2 rivets that secure the bracket.

Edit- Crash457 beat me to it!

Mine came with black self tapping screws.

I am going to try some HD all-weather Velcro all the way around the plate back, in the same spot, to see how I like the look before drilling; it should hold well anyway cause the plate on its own is light.

And when I have used the quality weather Velcro in the past, it has held many a thing outside in all kinds of conditions, so it might be a semi-permanent solution too.

And I personally like the Ops placement MUCH better than the stock location BTW...

I was thinking about using this adjustable bracket in that same location of the skid plate to allow for different angles, etc. I'm thinking this may help in regards to visibility for picky law enforcement.

Since it is chrome, I would certainly prime and paint it black first. Haven't found a black version yet.
