Flipster V3 | Winch License Plate Mounting System | Hawse, Roller, Recessed Fairlead

Put everything together and noticed the quality and packaging were beautiful. Set everything up to install and unfortunately, it will not fit on a Bronco Everglades. The bar gets in the way. Any Bronco Everglades drivers, it will NOT fit but that’s not the manufacturer’s or part’s fault. It’s built very well! Hinge is strong and it looks great on compatible vehicles! Hope this helps any owners out there!

Front license plate is required where I live and need a solution once winch was installed on steel bumper. This is exactly what I needed and has been on my truck for over a year now with no issues. Would definitely recommend.

It really is a great high quality mount. Love it

As soon as I opened the package I knew this was a well made product. It fits behind my winch fair lead perfectly with no issues for clearance between it and the winch hook. The parts are made with quality, down from the hardware to the actual plate holder assembly. I also like the fact that the product name isn't a must have on their product, stamped all over the place. Instead they offer a few decals and the license plate frame is an option, most people have their own or don't use one. The movable bracket is a nice solid piece of construction, in other words it isn't going to be flipping around or constantly having to be adjusted. Overall, if you are residing in a state like Maryland and there are a bunch of nuances to register your off-road vehicle , this will alleviate some of the headaches easily enough. Get it.

This is an awesome bracket but will not work with the factory MOPAR fairlead. If you had a winch installed at the factory, you will need to replace the fairlead and the fairlead bracket or this product won't fit.

5 stars

Great mount for those of us that have to run a front plate on our vehicles. Installed mine on a '16 Rubicon that has a Warn 10S winch and Hawse fairlead. The quality, fit, and finish of the mount and the hardware is excellent.I have had the Flipster now for over a week now and have have driven the Jeep offroad numerous times. Mount is rock solid and I love how I can flip up my plate for easy access to my winch line. I would recommend to anyone needing a solid plate mount.Friendly heads up:Due to the thickness of the Flipster mounting plate and hawse fairlead, your fairlead bolts may be a bit too short to get a good attachment once installed. Not a fault of the product, but a function of the stock winch setup. Optimally a person should install this upgrade when they are putting in the winch so they can put in new, longer fairlead bolts. In my case I installed the Flipster after my winch was in place.First off it took some effort to undo the existing fairlead bolts as you had to get a wrench in behind the bumper/fairlead to hold the bolt head while undoing the nut on the outside of the fairlead. Secondly, to ensure I was comfortable with the nut to bolt attachment once the Fliptster and fairlead were reattached, I had to grind down my Warn fairlead bolt holes (easy to do with a Dremel and metal grinding bit). Initially without grinding, there were two to three threads of the bolt showing with the stock fairlead and Flipster mount plate. After grinding the hawse fairlead bolt holes, I had 4-5 threads showing. I probably could have lived with the stock bolt length, but with Murphy's law and how I use my Jeep (primarily offroad), I didn't want to be picking up or losing the mount, fairlead, and front plate. Your experience may differ depending on your winch and fairlead.

Plate mount works great and was easy to install aside from some light modifications to the bottom parts of the mount. Had to cut them off to fit around the fat fairlead on the 24 wrangler with the stock winch. Have to file and paint in a few days and will post photos.
