2015 Rubicon: Brawler Mid, Warn 9.5XP, Rubicon Express 2" lift
Busy weekend! Just finished adding a Warn 9.5 XP Winch, a Rubicon Express 2" lift , Warn Neo Winch Cover. Jeep still has a little too much rake for my taste (about 5/8"). However, when I add the Poison Spyder rear Bumper/Carrier, it will most likely level out. Really like the Warn Neo Winch cover. Great Fit, Easy on/off. I spray my cable weekly with WD 40 to avoid cable rust.

Jeep looking good. Just FYI. The neo cover will rot long before the winch and spraying your cable weekly does nothing but attract unwanted crap. Unless you are putting it through its paces weekly or exposed to salt there is no need. A good few times a year or as needed will suffice.

Will give the Fluid Film a try.
FYI re using Wd40 weekly. This is the third winch (all warn) I have had-have ALWAYS sprayed with WD40-no unwanted debri, rotting etc. The key is when the cover gets wet-take it off LET IT DRY (Over night), then put it back on. If/when the cover gets coated with salt-wash it off ASAP, let dry, put it back on. WD 40 under a dry cover has worked well for me I live in a HIGH salt area, and this process seems to do OK. Apprecite the feedback though
