SmittyBilt LICENSE PLATE MOUNT BRCKT - SB4432

The clips feel like they will really hold on well, I doubted them, but they are sturdy. My time with the mount was cut a bit short due to a crash, you can see the plate attached to the mount is bent, but I was able to bend it back pretty easily, as a result of the crash, an ear was broken off the clip where it snaps onto the roller, but other than that, it still holds itself on, I’m throughly impressed

Snapped on easy as can be on our older rough country winch. The holders that snap on the winch I noticed were also adjustable to accommodate different widths.

Easy on/off of licence plate to access winch. Holds secure even wheeling.

I was worried this may be loose of blow off, but the clips hold pretty strong. I installed a Smittybilt winch with wire cable a few months ago but did not have a license plate solution. Most of the other holders that clip on the rollers are spaced wider. The Smitybilt roller leads have a narrower spacing than most other. I did need to buy their license plate bracket to work with their fairlead. I have done several long road trips and this holder has not moved at all.

Holds a license plate, clips on the fairlead rollers.

I now own two of these -- one on my old Nissan truck, and another for my Tacoma. It's a vital part for a winch install, especially if combined with a hinged license plate bracket. But there's where there's potential for improvement.I regard this part as a 'problem solver' part -- it's great for putting a corrosion-free backplate on your license plate when mounting a winch where the license plate partially or fully blocks the path of the winch line. In making that happen, this part needs to be modified -- not because the design is flawed (it's excellent as-is) -- but because this part has potential and use an an unanticipated application.The greatest thing about this is how well made it is, for what it is. The aluminum is perfect thickness, the coating is durable, and the hardware is unique and excellent. A+ to Smittybilt for supplying this piece. If you can use as-is, that's awesome, but I never really want my license plate to be separable from the vehicle. During recoveries, I like as much stuff attached as possible. Hence my alternate use for this item.With a couple holes spaced to a license plate spacing, and after removing all the grip/clasps, this part makes the hinged license plate holders make immense sense. If Smitty planned for that and made it with this in mind, no drilling would be needed. I've now done this twice, and in my opinion, there's just nothing better and there's no other way. I always get questions about it -- "Where'd you get that?" -- Well, I frankensteined it together from a couple different parts.In the end -- not only would I recommend this part for its intended use, I would also recommend it in my modified use. The built-in nuts for holding the plate on are such a godsend -- vehicles have enough tiny misc hardware to get lost, and this Smittybilt plate holder fixes that. Thankful to Smittybilt for making this part, and certainly hope they continue doing so ... it's a major problem-solver for those of us who do things to the 9's.

Seems like high quality sticks good to the roller fairlead can run through the car wash no problems stays on all the time when four wheeling in the snow old one did not-getting a new plate is a drag

Very easy to put on. Snap, it's done.
