Coastal Off Road rear bumper question, maybe others too.

For those that have the COR rear bumper, what did you end up doing with your license plate? Do other aftermarket/high clearance bumpers have the same problem of no designated license plate mount/spot? Seems like something every rear bumper would need.

 

Wait what? They dont put a place for a license plate? What kinda crap is that.

I put tabs on both sides of mine so that I can swap it (or more likely run a vanity plate on opposite side)



Id either find a way to add tabs or personally I dont have an issue drilling into a tailgate to mount one if I desired that look/location. Id just be careful drilling the paint and to use isolators to keep from having rubbing issues that lead to bare metal and rust.

 

Drywall screws straight to the tailgate will have you looking cash money.

I saw this on TW, interesting. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/recessed-license-plate-mount.737974/#post-26271173

 

Not bad looking. I kind of dig it. You'll run into problems when you want to mount a swing out tire carrier, though.

 

I built one for my old Roomate. Don’t have pictures, but I grabbed two 90 degree tabs, adjusted the bends, and welded them to the bumper just below the top so it wouldn’t hit the tailgate. Added one of those flip up license plate holders so if it drags it’ll just flip up and away. Then just add license plate lights and you’re good to go.

 

Made had holes drilled where the hitch receiver is, so if you mount the plate there you’d never get a hitch in, unless you did some hinge off of that?
