I do not know
what Toyota dealers do to attach license plates to the fronts of Tacoma
trucks in states where front plates are required. I decided that I
wanted to put a vanity plate on the front of my truck, so I purchased a
number of items and developed my own kit.
I purchased the black Mounting Plate and mounting screws by
Cruiser Accessories (I wound up not
needing the separate mounting screws) from
AutoBarn.com. I picked up the chrome License Plate Frame by
Pilot Automotive from my
local Wal*Mart store. I acquired the Vanity Plate from an
eBay store. The
Quick Fist rubber clamps came from
another
eBay seller.

I
attached the
Quick Fist clamps to the Mounting Plate as shown at
left. To attach the clamps I used a pair of screws, lock
washers and nuts that I had on hand. I wound up having to
shear the screws a bit shorter with a grinder so that they did not
extend beyond the surface of the Mounting Plate.
The
Vanity Plate and the Chrome Frame were installed on the Mounting
Plate using the screws that were supplied with the Mounting Plate. |

The
Quick Fist rubber clamps were then used to attach the Mounting Plate to
the lower bar of the Westin Bull Bar.
The end
result looks really nice and adds a little splash of color to an
otherwise rather monochromatic image.
