Default Numberplate relocation for ARB front bar with winch
Im sure this question has been asked and answered before but ive searched and searched and cant find.
I have the ARB front bar with the winch blanking plate and my number plate on top of that.
Now my question is, where is the number plate relocated to after the winch is installed?
Now im asking this out loud it seems kind of dumb and im thinking maybe it could just be taken off everytime the winch needs to be used which wouldnt be often seing as i own a wrangler.
Or is there an obvious spot that i cant see right in front of me.
Any ideas pics or opinions would be much appreciated!!

I've got this set up on my TJ - Rugged Ridge license plate mount which clips on to the rollers.


Clips are EXTREMELY strong but I've also added some wires so it doesn't get lost - I actually don't have a winch - just using the rollers to mount the numberplate (and spotties) - These Rugged Ridge rollers also have holes for mounting spot lights


EDIT: I'm happy with this set-up, but i'm sure the flip up option Salchi mentioned in the previous post would be better

The ARB bar should have come with a flip up number plate holder. This is a closed up of mine.

I put some bolts I had lying around in the bottom corners of the plate and fed some fuel tubing over them to use as a stopper to keep the plate level.

Mine looks likes Dave's however; if you do not have one and you are fitting the roller type fairlead go to a boat shop and buy the little brackets they sell for boat hooks usually the same size and cheep, just screw/ bolt to your plates (instead of your boat ... LOL) or even try Bunning's for similar...

For my Warn bar I've mounted my plate onto a pair of Quick Fist clamps, I got these through Wooders. These are then mounted to the rollers. This would work for the ARB bar as well if you don't have the flip up plate holder. (Also keeps the rollers quiet.)
