Anyone know how to remove the grill on a 2021? I've watched videos and took the top clips out and pulled the bottom clips free but the grill seems to be attached to brackets just under each light and a I can't figure out how to detach it.

Pull. I have a 21 and once the fasteners were out it pulled right off.

Go to 5:40 of this video.

This. @jurassic3k It will definitely feel like it’s hung up, but it’s just stubborn. A nice even pull from the bottom on both sides should be enough to get it loose.

Not sure if it's really attached, or just looks like it. The grill on my 21 Willys came off as advertised with a proper "tug" for the bottom clips.

The braket is bolted to the vehicle and its on there strong. It appears from the picture that it attaches to the grill with a T25 or T30. But the angle is too hard to get to

It's not attached by bolt/screw. The midsection of the grills has clips like those you popped loose at the bottom.
Have courage, stay the course, and pull.

I have a winch set in the factory steel bumper. Can the grille be removed with the winch in place?
