Tonneau cover, hard top and tailgate bar?

[Hobo]

Question for the community: I have only a hard top, and the weather has been good enough lately so that I'm going on my 3rd week without having to put it back on (awesome! Everything is better with your top off!). I purchased this Rampage Tonneau cover (https://www.rampageproducts.com/rampage-741035-tonneau-cover) without realizing that it required a "Tailgate Bar". Since I only have a hard top, I don't have a tailgate bar. Does anyone know the precise part I would need, what it takes to install it (drilling?), and most importantly, if I install a tailgate bar so that my tonneau cover fits properly, can I put the hard top back on over the tailgate bar? Any info or thoughts would be appreciated...

You would need the clips and bar from a factory soft Top. They can be bought separate from the top at Quadratec. A guy on here used a JK bar and JL clips to save some money and said it works. It doesn’t bother me enough to spend the money to buy a bar yet. Either way you would need to remove the bar and clips when you put the hardtop on. No drilling required though.

You need these, both left and right: https://www.quadratec.com/p/mopar/tailgate-bar-retainer-wrangler-jl
plus the bolts (one for each)
and the Tailgate bar (pricey):https://www.quadratec.com/p/mopar/68251538AC-tailgate-bar-jl
But, like someone mentioned the JK bar may fit and is cheaper
