Anyone have a photo of the rugged cover with the cleats loose? Trying to justify if I need all of them or just want to install a couple

Not specifically raptor pictures but here are a few on other trucks without the cleats.

@RickRed, did you have any issues operating the tailgate via the remote with the DB cover closed?

Nice! I went with the SE and Crossbin 13 and have been really happy with them. The only issue I had on install was the way the ribs of the bed lie I couldn't get the clamps in place at the far ends of the center panel as they describe. But despite that, they've held held firm with no issues.

I installed the AMP Research Bedstep 2 on either side, which makes getting into the bin easy and really solidifies the set-up and use cases for the bin and cab panel access. They were a pain in the as# to install, but worth it. Highly recommended.

Can you post a pick of this in the "closed" position please? Interested in how much it tucks up?

No I did not have any issue.

when I first installed the tailgate would stop every other time, but after I let it sit overnight and let the rubber seals compress/seat in it’s opened/closed (power assisted) every time. And is still 99% water tight. As it wears in a little I may adjust to get the seals tighter but all good.

Are you talking about the bedstep?
if so it tucks up and in pretty far… fender flare sticks down further than a “normal’ f150, but after chatting with amp they don’t have any plans to change or make revisions just for the raptor.

I love those tops and I definitely need that step. being vertically challenged and all. but unfortunately I need a try fold because of what I usually use it for. does anyone have experience with the renegade top

I thought about this cover for a brief second. But it's as you would expect, a giant metal tri-fold that weighs 120lbs. At least the Diamondback splits into 2 pieces
