Reviews: Smittybilt License Plate Brackets

Great way to mount your license plate on a stubby bumper with a winch

I needed to mount my front license plate on my Jeep, but my EAG bumper didn't have anywhere to install it. My buddy with a TJ had an older fairlead license plate bracket that worked for him, so I did some searching on line and got this. The price was fair and since the local store was only 15 minutes away, I picked it up and installed it the same day. It's secure and hasn't fallen off after 8,000+ miles of highway and off road driving. When I needed to use my winch, it came off with a snug snap and went on just like when I first installed it. Highly recommended.

Had to do some minor drilling so that the holes would line up with the bolts on my RIGd tire mount. Other than that it does what its advertised to do.

Easy fit. Easy to adjust. Requires additional lighting to be street legal at night

Needs to come with 8 washers, not 4 washers. Otherwise a good product.

Looks great! Fits great!! Maybe a bit over priced.

The one screw that holds the bracket would not come out. It rounded out and I was not able to use the bracket at all. Could have been over tightened, over painted, whatever the case may be, I NEVER got it out.

Works well and clips on firmly to the roller fairlead. I am going to try and attach it with a zip tie so that it doesn't get knocked off and lost... I worry a little about the screws that hold the bracket to the clips, they don't really have much in the way of a locking mechanism to keep from rattling loose. hopefully it all hangs together over time.
