Fix What Toyota Got Wrong
On the 2024+ Tacoma, the factory license plate location blocks airflow straight through the grille stack — exactly where your radiator, AC condenser, and transmission cooler need to breathe. The Mishimoto license plate relocation kit moves the plate out of the way with a clean, bolt-on bracket that looks like it belongs there.
3mm Steel. Powder-Coated. Lifetime Warranty.
This isn't a flimsy plastic bracket. The Mishimoto relocation kit is fabricated from 3mm-thick steel and finished in a satin black powder coat for corrosion resistance and a clean factory look. Hardware is all stainless steel. The Mishimoto license plate frame is included — so your install is complete right out of the box.
Multiple mounting hole patterns mean you can position the plate to clear light bars, D-rings, or winch fairleads already on your bumper. It's designed to work with your build, not against it.
