Now I'M curious, why is a plate holder on a rig designed that way?
You had to ask...

Oversized loads require you to run oversize banners, flags, beacons etc.

My bumper has a spot to hang the license plate in the middle of the bumper.

BUT. When I hang the oversize banner it covers the plate, which is a ticket.

The flip side of that is if I built a plate extension to move the plate out, I get a ticket for obscuring the banner.

The oversize banner needs to attach to the bumper, the only other spot is the hood then you reduce cooling air for the radiator and it looks goofy

So as much as I don’t like it hanging there, I also don’t like paying tickets

Glad I asked. I was thinking it had something to do with tow hooks. This makes sense now.

Man, I learn something new everyday on this forum. Thanks.
 
Switch it out for 1/8" steel plate.... No more bending?

BTB - Were those shims I sent you of any use?

If I went to thicker steel would I run the risk of ripping it off instead of it bending?

Yes the shims are great, I was able to get a couple pins adjusted so far. I’ll get more done in the future. Thanks
