I put some sweet 12" light bars on my bull bar. Only prob is that they block my plate. Any ideas where to move the plate to do I won't get in trouble with Johnny law?

I know in Minnesota, it must be on the furthest point to the front of the vehicle - on the dash behind the windshield is not the front of the vehicle (my neighbor has been written up for it 4 times in the last year, but with the big ass winch on his F-250, no where to mount the plate).

You might have to make a bracket that mounts it to the lower bar/top of the skid plate on the bull bar.

Your state doesn't play around, everything needs to be visible. Having out of plain sight, aint gonna fly. Your Iowa supreme court even weighed in on it, guess they have too much time on their hands in Iowa.

I would leave it where it is before angling it on the skid plate. Honestly, it would be just fine but for those lights. Relocate those puppies on the grille or behind the grille or riding on top of bull bar, or take the skid plate off and relocate lights on bottom of bull bar.

Here's one on skid plate, need a bracket to push the bottom of the plate out a bit.

Iowa??? I'm reading On-terrible...Errr Ontario. But I have to agree, I don't think it'll go over too well if you get pulled over.
