Aluminum @Max Modular KB Voodoo rack with 46" cross bars, 22" tall with tonneau brackets.

Same rack with 58" long cross bars.
I would not hesitate to buy this again! That is a el cheapo Colorado size roll up tonneau.
They will only tell you that the 46" fits. You need to modify the mounts by changing the radius where they meet the corners of the bed. About 5 minutes on a bench grinder then hit with paint.
Looks like they just posted a 10% off code for this month FALL10.
Their customer service was awesome! Since this length is not listed for the Gladiator, we went back and forth to get it figured out and they were on top of it.

So we need 58" bars for the Gladiator and your cover rolls up with no issues?

Id go with a Diamond back HD tonneau cover with a front runners tracks and rails. Or go with a Diamond back HD with an uptop overland rack, but that shiite is expensive.

Overall length of their rack is 58" that actual side panel is just over 50" I see on their site that they now offer 'soft topper' compatible mounting. Check their site, as their name implies, it is modular. This rack has been on for a year and a half with no paint flaking or fading. I do remove my boards, fuel cells etc. when not in use. Have had the RTT on during some rock climbing and from Orlando to Mt. Washington. As a mechanic, race car builder and old blacksmith, I am happy with the strength and versatility of it. They send stainless carriage bolts to put it together so use anti-seize to prevent galling the threads then paint the heads black.
It looks like they now offer even more accessories for their racks...........

As you can see, the tonneau barely fits through to roll it up, but it fits.

The left side of this bracket where the pencil is pointing is where I had to radius the bracket. Both sides had the Y shape like the right hand side. Very minimal material taken off. Also considering that the load is on the bedrail not at all on the bolt shown, no problem.

Well, I never take pictures so I don't have any of her in the field actually pointing. That one was from my daughter who caught her at the table.
Besides, my delivery usually sucks, just ask my daughter! I get no credit for my bad 'Dad jokes'

I was about to make a similar post. I want to start with a tonneau, followed by a bed liner of some sort and then a rack. I don't have the trial bar system and it looks like some options require it.

How and the heck did you guys make all these decisions? Lol. Seriously though, I wanna lau a plan out so I'm not throwing money away at compatability issues down the line.

XTR1 Bed Rack for Jeep Gladiator – Xtrusion Overland (xtrusion-overland.com)

Although the above link is one I know of. I personally have a Diamondback Cover which I absolutely love. By far the best thing on my truck. However mosts racks dont work with it. So the alternative to that is the Chassis Unlimited Thorax rack system which mounts right to the covers anchors hooks and still allows it to open and close.
