    Proper location for a Bridge Plate on a HUMVEE (M1045/2003)

    either location is acceptable, it just had to be visible to the MP at the Bridge crossing…they is no “it must be mounted here” rule, but for a hmmwv, I’ve seen half mounted to the hood and the other half to the front grill, both positions offset to the passenger side.

    Source for this decal?

    correct, as is most of the parts for an H1, as your aware, they ceased production in 2006…The truck from the factory actually uses an inscribed plastic plate with adhesive on it, like a badge. you could definitely just get some made up that way.
