Hi everyone, My XLT Tremor is currently in transit to the dealership. I live in a state where FLP is required, and I don't want to drill into the bumper.

I like the Craven Speed mount, but due to the modified bumper of the Tremor, I don't know if that one would work. Do any current Tremor owners have a solution to this?

If the dealer is in an FLP state or province, they are required to put the FLP on. Its a no-cost install.

I'm sure if you ask your dealer and tell them you don't want them drilling in they won't do it.

I got my plate from a dealer in a required state and live in one too. I told them I was gonna figure out an aftermarket no drill solution, so they just tossed the mount in the back.

I ended up using zip ties and blocked some of the venting. Probably not the best for airflow but it only blocks about 8-10"

I too live in a flip state. So far I'm in the constrained front plate bracket category. Waiting for the bracket. 😉 My plate is under the back seat if anything happens. Love the clean look without it.

I'm not putting mine on. Don't even know the law, I just see to many rigs without plates on front. And constraint will be my excuse even though I have the bracket :cool:

I live in an flp state and got the platypus bracket for my Mav. My sales guy asked if I wanted the bracket installed or not (he didn’t think I’d want it drilled and was right)

I didn't drill mine to the bumper, I drilled mine underneath. I used a nut and bolt to secure it and a little Loctite.
One day if it's not required you won't see any holes in the bumper.
The reflection on the plate cover is my garage storage rack.

@Mayoman Smart! Definitely a good alternate route to consider.

I live in Portland, just down the street from Craven Speed, but my dealership I am purchasing through is in Utah (only dealer willing to guarantee MSRP at the time). I may end up just taking it to Craven and seeing if they have any ideas to cook up a solution. Maybe a tow hook mount for FLP...

That's perfect, I didn't even know I needed this. Where did you source the bracket?

The bracket for the plate is the one you get with the truck. (For 2024 you only get this bracket if your state requires it) as for the Tremor frame I got that off of Etsy.
