My 200 is finally being built. I chose the ARB bumper and am keeping the ComeUp winch. When I went to the shop today to check on progress, I saw that they have the control box mounted in front of the emblem, blocking the bottom 40% or so. I immediately thought it would make the adaptive cruise control fail, but when I googled images, I see the official ARB pics with the winch control box right there.

I could not test drive the vehicle today because they are still doing suspension and wheels.

Once it is road worthy, I suppose I will test it and know if the box needs to be moved. In the interim, I am curious if anyone has the control box blocking part of the emblem and still can use adaptive cruise control.

Here is a picture. Thank you.

I just did an experiment on a different 200. I filled an envelope with paper and aluminum foil and taped it so it was covering the bottom half of the emblem. I then took it for a drive. The adaptive cruise control still worked fine. Who would have thought?
 
I can't offer any input on the question at hand, I just wanted to say that the truck looks great and be sure to post pics when it's complete.
