    Hey all,
    Finally pulled the trigger for SDHQ hidden winch mount and warn vr 10s.
    I live in WA where front license plate is required, and was wondering what you guys used to mount your front license plate after installing fairlead/shackle mount to the factory bumper.

    Any help is appreciated!

    I think this is what many of us need. I have an ARB Bumper and when I have my winch installed next week I will lose usage of the plate mounts.

    Can you tell me where you got your plate flipper?

    I believe it was this one.
    I did however, modify it to make it stand out farther.

    I bought a similar plate holder and also had to modify it for it to work. The issue is the surface of the bumper that the plate is mounting on is angling down and 90 degrees of travel is not enough for the plate to clear the winch operation. A short extension piece allows more travel and makes it work. I like that the plate covers my Factor 55 flatlink that I don't want disappearing one night (less visibility is better).
