Sam I know you said you didn't want to cover up the Blackout Marker but I can't see ever needing it but if I do I don't think at that point I'll need the license plate either so I can just take it off. Here's a shot of my setup. I went to a trailer sales outfit and just bought the bracket with lamp ($4.00) and spray painted it flat black.
In the mean time you know you can go to the DMV and get a 30 day temp tag. Just tell them you're waiting on the EUC. It cost me $25 for mine.

That will fit between the lifting shackle and pintle hitch and not get in the way of anything, I think that will be my solution. Thanks for the tip on the temp tag, I will get one Wednesday before the meeting.

For illumination, I'm going to use small black LED license plate bolts.
I'm not a big fan of the under-the-bumper location, but it makes good use of the hole that already drilled there.
The tailgate plate is mounted on a 150 pound magnet that comes with screw eye bolt, and it's $20 from Northern Tool. I really like that spot for it, but there seem to be differing opinions on whether that's legal or not. I asked my brother, a state trooper, and he said no, it cannot be in the window. I haven't read anything in the inspection manual that says it cannot be there. If they say it can't be in the window because it impedes visibility, I would say that portion of the window is blocked because of the spare tire anyways.
At least I have a couple of options.

I'll try to remember to get a photo, I just used a simple aluminum angle and drilled three holes in the bottom of the bumper. I used self tapping bolts. I put an LED light in the angle above the tag. It takes about 2 minutes to unplug and remove the three bolts to play in the rocks, it is on the right side of the bumper and not as low as the spare tire.

I put 2 sets of 2 digits on mine, and it looks just like an active truck, and drove it for 6 months without even titling it and no one said nothing! It just looks authentic! I did it in the city too!

I have mine stuck to the center of the M1009 tailgate with magnets. About a month ago, was pulled over by a state trooper for no tag light. It is my understanding that AL law says if it didn't come with it, its not required. I explained that the truck did not come with provisions for a license plate, much less a tag light. He even let me get out so I could show him the magnets. After looking over the truck, the trooper determined that I was ok and sent me on my way. Personally, I think he just wanted to look at my truck.
