I tried the Rampage tonneau cover and didn't have the same experience others seem to have had. The driver-side corner tab won't fit into the channel; I don't know if it's too thick, or if the channel is too narrow. The fit is good, not great, and the corner just sits there & flops around. It's a pain in the ass trying to whittle the tab down.

I was looking at these today actually. You like it? Does it cut down on the wind when driving?

Love the JTops! It is very high quality, from the neoprene protective strips, to the high quality buckles. It's easy to install, doesn't flap in the wind, and cuts down on the heat from the sun. Not sure how much it cuts down on the wind, maybe a little. But it's been pretty windy in my area lately so hard to tell.

Very glad I decided to spend a bit more for a Made in the USA top vs. a cheaper one.

The winch is a Zeon 10-S. The winch mounting plate we used is a Mopar kit (part #82215182AC), the Maximus-3 filler plates are these little jewels that fill the gap between the bumper and the frame. They really clean up the look: https://maximus-3.com/home/jl-filler-trim-plates-zeon
The front bar is the Mopar "Grille and Winch Guard"(part #82215351). It does mount with two bolts on each side and has plenty of clearance for the winch. My wife looked at the options from Warn and others but kept coming back to the Mopar as her favorite.

ok, got it. with the filler plate, does it line up evenly with the mopar winch plate. or is it being stacked up to use the same mounting points. a;so as far as i can tell, you can use the maximus filler plate with the maximus winch plate.

The body tab appears to be bent up against the body tub. You might try using a plastic trim tool as a prybar working from the outside in to see if you can pry it back out.

I got the smittybilt tailgate bar for the jk ... it fits.... the retainers snap on... to remove them, you press down on them and slip a plastic trim remove tool under the front lip and it comes off.

The only modification you will need to do will be put velcro on a corner... you will see which one.... and it keeps it tight and no flapping....

Looks like Warn is having a good week with @PalmettoMike, @RagTopDeluxe and us all installing a Warn this week.
We did the Zeon 10-S along with the usual Factor 55 stuff and the Maximus-3 Filler plates. I love the way the Maximus filler plates clean up the look.
Interesting thing about the install was that we actually used the setup today for recovery after some of the folks we were with got into some heavy snow in the Sierras. Everything worked out perfectly.

I’m going to look into the filler plate—looks great!

PS: I was going to put my Daylighters on but only ordered one mount. Doh!

I may have to try this try this if bending outwards doesn't work... thank you for the tip.

Thanks for the link.

I had the Warn low guard on my ‘19 but like the lower profile of the Mopar better. I also like how the guard mounting plates are sculpted to fit the bumper.
