Otto Overland front grille

[lakebuster]

Installed new grille on my 2020 Jeep Rubicon JLU.
Between grille and steel factory bumper there is a piece of plastic held down with 2 push pins.
I am thinking that on 2025/2026 Jeeps this must be a wider piece, as I now have a nice size gap!
Can someone with a new Jeep look or better yet take a picture, this may be normal or I need to search for the part number for a different piece

Put a winch in there. Problem solved.
I've been thinking about upgrading my '21 grill to the newer style as well. Prices aren't horrible on 3rd party variants. Also, mine came with the factory steel bumper and I didn't have that plastic filler panel.

Distinction Applied has an aftermarket option that is less than the Mopar option and it is a perfect fit. Their paint is also excellent. It comes with a plastic piece below the grille that appears to be missing from the OPs picture. It does not come paint matched unless you opt to pay for it, but it is mostly hidden from view especially behind a winch and grill guard. Reminds me I need to update my picture!

with a winch is the correct answer

Yes it is a different piece.

Looks like the '24+ grill gives more clearance at the back of the winch. I see so many winches pressed up against the JL grills, which means cables are smashed up into the grill as well. I drilled a hole in the side of my control box, added a grommet, and relocated the wires to the side so they wouldn't be smooshed while also pressing in on the grill.

This gap was in my jeep also when i put in the new grille. My buddy used a part of the OEM plastic bumper and fit it in. COvers the gap nicely. Will post a picture

I made a custom built light bar for my sahara filler panel. I run a ironman 4x4 bumper now.
