:LOL:
They've got to be a modular piece? I wouldn't think they'd have a whole different steel bumper for the winch and non winch option. It's just a DOT thing.
I haven't looked into that at all so I can't say for sure.

Is a winch even an option on the Willys?
The longer the drought of information goes on, the more suspicious I get.
Multiple Jeep events have happened since this was announced. EJS, Jeep Beach, etc.
None of these influencers have tried to pin down a Jeep rep and grill them over this?

Yes, the crush cans are modular. To put the non winch versions on, you have to remove the bumper.

The easy solution is to chop the ends off with a grinder or sawzall or similar and then put the smaller covers on.

Lots of people have gone the easy route.

Costs are well under $50 to go the easy route.

Cheapest way is to order without the winch, then install the same winch yourself for half the cost

Interesting. I dunno but I think I’m bailing on the Willys and ordering a Moab. My bonus cash offer expires the end of the month. Plus the recent addition of painted flare option on the Moab is enough to push me across the finish line. The lack of any updates on this Willys drop is ridiculous. That said - it if I do order a Moab - I expect the Willys order banks to open on May 1st. :)
Welp..you're welcome guys!

Similar winch, but not the exact same unless you are buying from Mopar. The non oem might be better, but it is not the same.

Its up check the Ourisman thread. No SOT so my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
My thoughts EXACTLY!
I just saw that in the other thread.
I guess I should have kept my mouth shut on wanting the SOT.
Jeep was like "Hmmm, how can we push buyers to pay $10k more for the Moab"
