US Mill Works Tow Hook Licence Plate Bracket

I got my US Mill Works LPB today in the mail. It came in a postage envelope which caught me off guard. Once opening the package, I was greeted by a well packaged, well thought out, engineering marvel. I love the way this bracket was designed and being an engineer, really appreciate the thought that was put into the materials, operation and overall design of the unit.


COST: $75.00

TIME TO INSTALL: 15 minutes

Bracket allows for a nice "parallel to bumper" fit. Fit and finish is 10/10 and overwhelms the Gominigo bracket.

Packaged.

Un-packaged with exception of small hardware pouch.

Various mounting holes are tapered to provide for flexibility of mounting position and a nice flush fit.

Various hardware. Not all is used. I did not use the spacers (washers). I used the four black license plate hex screws and four tapered flush fit mounting screws. That's it.

I decided to go with the mid position initially, but may relocate in the future.

Just need to fix the gap in my trim.

Looks great Dane. I think I might trade in my bracket for this one. The only thing I don't like about the gominigo bracket is how much of a pain it is to take on and off. Without bending the metal bracket you can't take it off without scratching yup your paint on the bumper. Does this bracket have the same problem?

You need to take license plate off, then loosen swivel to remove. Video below will give you an idea.

Dane. Better than the other options?

I was waiting for a friend to throw his on, but he hasn't yet
