Rago Fabrication Universal Clevis / D-Ring Mounted Front License Plate Bracket | AC9905201NA

Add a front license plate to an aftermarket off-road bumper without drilling into the bumper with the Rago Fabrication Clevis / D-Ring Mounted Front License Plate Bracket, part #AC9905201NA.

Designed for bumpers equipped with D-ring or clevis mounts featuring a 1-inch mounting hole, this universal bracket provides a simple, clean solution for vehicles that require a front license plate.

Rather than permanently attaching the license plate directly to the bumper, the bracket installs at the bumper's existing recovery-point clevis mount. The design is adjustable for universal fitment, offers multiple mounting-height configurations, and can be quickly removed when heading off-road.

An especially useful feature is the bracket's ability to swivel if it contacts an obstacle. If the bracket is left installed on the trail and contacts a rock, ledge or other obstacle, the pivoting design can help prevent damage to the bracket, plate or bumper.

Universal D-Ring / Clevis Mount Design

The AC9905201NA is designed around one of the most common features found on aftermarket off-road bumpers: the D-ring recovery-point mount, also commonly referred to as a clevis mount or shackle mount.

Instead of drilling into the bumper or installing a vehicle-specific license plate bracket, the Rago bracket utilizes the existing recovery-point mounting hole.

Required Clevis / D-Ring Mount Hole Size: 1 inch

This makes the bracket compatible with a wide range of aftermarket bumpers from manufacturers that use a traditional 1-inch D-ring mounting hole.

Excellent Choice for Aftermarket Bumpers

Many aftermarket off-road bumpers eliminate the factory front license plate mounting location.

The Rago Clevis Mounted License Plate Bracket provides a straightforward solution without permanently modifying the bumper.

It is particularly useful for bumpers equipped with:

• D-ring mounts

• Clevis mounts

• Recovery shackle mounts

• Welded recovery tabs with a 1-inch hole

Because the mounting system is universal, compatibility is determined primarily by the dimensions and configuration of the bumper's recovery mount, rather than the vehicle itself.

No Drilling Into the Bumper

One of the biggest advantages of this design is that it eliminates the need to drill license plate mounting holes into an expensive aftermarket bumper.

The bracket utilizes the bumper's existing clevis/D-ring mount, allowing the license plate to be installed without permanently altering the bumper.

This is particularly beneficial on:

• Steel off-road bumpers

• Aluminum bumpers

• Winch bumpers

• High-clearance bumpers

• Tube bumpers

• Baja-style bumpers

Easily Removable for the Trail

Front license plates can become vulnerable when driving off-road, especially when approaching steep obstacles or navigating rocks and ledges.

The AC9905201NA is designed to be easily removable for trail use, allowing the license plate and bracket to be taken off when maximum front clearance is needed.

After returning to the road, the bracket can be reinstalled.

Swivels if It Contacts an Obstacle

If you prefer to leave the bracket installed while off-road, Rago incorporates another useful feature into the design.

The mount can swivel when it contacts an obstacle.

Rather than remaining completely rigid and transferring the entire impact into the license plate bracket or bumper, the bracket can move when struck.

This can help reduce the chance of damaging:

• The license plate

• License plate bracket

• Mounting hardware

• Bumper mounting point

This is particularly useful on vehicles that regularly encounter rocks, ledges, steep approaches and uneven terrain.

Adjustable Mounting Position

The bracket is adjustable for universal fitment and provides mounting configurations for different plate heights.

This allows the installer to position the license plate appropriately based on:

• Bumper design

• D-ring mount location

• Winch location

• Fairlead position

• Auxiliary lighting

• Vehicle grille clearance

• Desired license plate height

The adjustability makes the bracket useful across many different bumper and vehicle combinations.

Great for Winch Bumpers

The clevis-mounted design can be especially useful on winch-equipped bumpers.

Traditional center-mounted license plate brackets may interfere with:

• Roller fairleads

• Hawse fairleads

• Winch rope access

• Winch hooks

• Recovery equipment

Mounting the license plate from a D-ring/clevis point can move the plate away from the center winch area and keep access to the recovery equipment more convenient.

Heavy-Duty Finish

The bracket is finished in a durable:

2-Stage Hammer Black Powder Coat

The textured black finish complements most aftermarket off-road bumpers while helping protect the bracket from corrosion, road debris and environmental exposure.

Stainless Steel Hardware Included

Rago includes stainless steel hardware with the bracket.

Stainless hardware provides excellent resistance to corrosion and is particularly useful for components mounted at the front of the vehicle where they are regularly exposed to:

• Rain

• Mud

• Road spray

• Snow

• Road salt

• Dust

• Pressure washing

Compatibility

This is a universal-fit product rather than a vehicle-specific license plate bracket.

Compatibility is based primarily on the bumper's recovery mount.

Before ordering, verify that your bumper has:

D-Ring / Clevis Mount Hole Diameter: 1 inch

The surrounding bumper design must also provide sufficient clearance for the bracket and license plate.

The bracket can be an excellent solution for many aftermarket bumpers used on:

• Ford Bronco

• Ford Bronco Raptor

• Ford F-150

• Ford F-150 Raptor

• Ford Ranger / Ranger Raptor

• Toyota Tacoma

• Toyota 4Runner

• Toyota FJ Cruiser

• Toyota Tundra

• Jeep Wrangler

• Jeep Gladiator

• RAM trucks

• Chevrolet Silverado

• GMC Sierra

• Other trucks and SUVs with compatible clevis mounts

IMPORTANT: Vehicle model alone does not determine compatibility. The bumper must have a compatible D-ring/clevis mounting point with a 1-inch hole.

Installation

Installation is straightforward because the bracket attaches directly to the compatible bumper clevis mount.

No permanent drilling into the bumper is required for normal installation.

The adjustable design allows the license plate position to be configured for the bumper and vehicle.

Before driving, verify that:

• All hardware is properly tightened

• The bracket has adequate bumper clearance

• The license plate does not interfere with the grille

• The plate does not block auxiliary lights

• The plate does not interfere with the winch or fairlead

• The plate does not obstruct parking sensors, cameras or adaptive cruise control sensors

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rago Fabrication part #AC9905201NA?
AC9905201NA is a universal clevis / D-ring mounted front license plate bracket designed for aftermarket off-road bumpers.

What size D-ring mount does the bracket require?
The bracket is designed for D-ring or clevis mounts with a 1-inch hole.

Is AC9905201NA vehicle-specific?
No. This is a universal-fit bracket. Compatibility is determined by the bumper's D-ring/clevis mount rather than the specific vehicle.

Will it work on a Ford Bronco?
Yes, provided the Bronco's aftermarket bumper has a compatible D-ring/clevis mount with a 1-inch hole and adequate clearance around the mounting location.

Will it work with an Addictive Desert Designs bumper?
It can be used with compatible ADD bumpers that provide the required 1-inch D-ring/clevis mounting hole. Always verify the specific bumper configuration before ordering.

Do I have to drill holes in my bumper?
No. The bracket is designed to utilize an existing compatible D-ring/clevis mounting point, eliminating the need to drill license plate mounting holes into the bumper.

Can I remove the bracket when going off-road?
Yes. One of the main features of the AC9905201NA is that it is easily removable for trail use, helping maximize front ground clearance.

What happens if the license plate hits a rock or obstacle?
The mount is designed to swivel if it contacts an obstacle, which can help reduce the likelihood of damaging the bracket, plate or bumper.

Can the license plate height be adjusted?
Yes. The bracket provides multiple mounting configurations for different heights.

Does the bracket include hardware?
Yes. Stainless steel hardware is included.

What finish does the bracket have?
It features a durable 2-stage Hammer Black powder-coat finish.

Is the bracket made in the USA?
Yes. Rago Fabrication specifies that the AC9905201NA is made in the USA.

Can I still use my D-ring shackle?
The bracket occupies the clevis/D-ring mounting location while installed. If that recovery point is needed for a D-ring shackle or recovery operation, the license plate bracket should be removed first.

Is this a good option for a winch bumper?
Yes. Because it mounts at the clevis/D-ring point rather than directly in front of the winch, it can be a particularly convenient solution for bumpers where a traditional center-mounted plate would interfere with the fairlead or recovery equipment.
