Winch Tray Availability
I am wondering if anyone has identified a source for the OEM or aftermarket winch tray for the new Defender? Spring has arrived with no tray available and I am out of options. The many dealers I have contacted, JLR and otherwise, are confirming they cannot obtain it and have no idea if or when it will be offered in the future.
I can find the winch crush cans, those are still being stocked, and I don't need the rest of the parts --- just the tray. Anyone hearing anything?

Terrific News !
BOTH Land Rover Rancho Mirage, CA and Duckworth Jaguar Land Rover at Racecourse Garage, Willingham Road , Market Rasen , Lincolnshire , LN8 3RE
(Market Rasen) Robin.Hall@duckworth.co.uk have access to the Defender JLR winch parts.
Both got back to me in 24 hours, with quotes at pretty much the same price. Rancho Mirage contacted me first, so I ordered from them (plus shipping is less expensive). The shipment is committed to go out tomorrow.
I recall now that Rancho Mirage was the North America kick-off host for the unveil and the Defender and the 4XFAR festival which some of us attended in late 2019.
Thanks again to those who helped with this !

In U.S. dollars, about:
$1200 for the mounting tray kit VPLEP0427
$125 for the crush cans VPLEP0431
$20 for the plastic camera bezel VPLEB0437
$125 for the sensor LR137889
Previously, I spent $805 for the front undershield kit, which I will install at the same time as the winch tray.
I have quotes for the JLR Winch (called a winch kit) of $3474 VPLEP0426 --- which I am not yet convinced is the correct winch for me.
I am not yet buying either version of the high impact shield -- $654 VPLEP0428 for the U.S. Bar Protection or VPLEP0489 Aussie Roo Bar (similar price). I am not convinced yet that using either within the current design approach will allow me to access the winch easily.
I very much like the design of the winch tray, its interaction with the front under shield and the recovery eye and with the crush cans. I will lock those in on the vehicle and then decide what visual coverage to add --- in a manner which ensures easy field access to the winch and its line (while standing in a mud pit in the pouring, freezing rain).

That's a lot less than I thought!
Does the winch tray work with the standard, regular undershield? That's going on mine at the Port, so if I (later when and if I ever have money after buying the car) want to add the winch, it's good that it works with the regular setup.
