My truck has a S10 rear bumper on it right now, and I hate it. So I intend to build a new one.
One thing I'm a bit hung up on what to do with is the license plate. It seems 99% of the aftermarket bumpers are made out of 6x2 HSS, or something like that, and the typical license plate will not fit on the bumper. It either has to stick up, or hang down, either of which is a guarantee for it being damaged or snagging on something.
Has anyone seen a decent solution? I'd put it on the tailgate, but it just doesn't fit anywhere nicely. I debated building the bumper from 8x2 and tapering it, which would allow for the plate to be hung in the middle, perhaps this is the best solution?
