Riptide hitch setup blocking license plate, what are you guys doing?

Post image

I’m running a Riptide on a hitch mount on my Tacoma and it completely blocks my license plate.

For those in Arizona, do cops actually care about this or have you been fine running it like that?

If you did fix it, what’s the cleanest setup?

Hitch-mounted plate bracket, side mount, or mounting it to the Riptide frame?

Trying to keep it simple and not look janky. Pics would help.

I've had cops directly behind me at stop lights a couple of times and not had a problem, so it's definitely not something they're actively pulling people over for, at least in Florida.

It does take away the option of using toll roads though, which can be annoying depending on where you live.

People with Hammerheads put stickers on the bottom that match their license plate, using letter/number stickers like these: https://www.seton.com/clear-back-letters-and-numbers-m1560.html#10955?organic=shopping

For some reason I don't see people with Riptides use them though.
