I talked with Alan at Xtrusion-Overland, and we are looking at coming up with a custom mounting solution for the X4s rail. I'm thinking just adding another piece of extrusion along the bed rail and attaching that to the rail on the cover. Then mounting the rack directly to that.
If you would be...
I'm looking to do something like the Xtrusion-Overland XTR1 with custom mounting brackets, or make my own with the same material. This is the Xtrusion-Overland one.

Just installed this cover yesterday morning. Install was smooth, and so far I love it. Has a T-slot in the rail so I'll be able to mount a rack without interfering.
Mine came with straps to tighten up the soft top when in the open position, didn't everyone's? I used them at the beginning, but now I just turn up the radio.
Just installed the JLU kit in my wife's Wrangler this morning. Was a bit of a pain, but will definitely be planning to install on my Gladiator eventually.
I've got a Sport S 3.73s on Rubicon tires, my Trip meter has about 9500 miles on it and is showing 18.5 MPG average. That said I spend a lot of time on 55 MPH roads with cruise control on. A tailwind yesterday had me getting up to 34 MPG on the drive home.
I have highbeamoffroad.net headlights, they are the Drifter series ones. Tons of light compared to stock. I also ordered the flush mount taillights from Oracle.
My wife has the D6 Dominator steps on her JLU. I would say Go Rhino quality is above DV8 at a similar price point. At least the Go Rhino stuff all fit like it was supposed to. I had to cut into a brand new DV8 bumper to get their own light bar to fit.
Highbeam offroad Drifter series headlights have been awesome for the past year for me. 4500 lumen low beam and 10,000 lumen high beam per headlight. Also comes with a lifetime warranty.
If you want to order from one of the bigger retailers the biggest issue is if they keep updated info on inventory, or at least communicate with their supplier for drop shipping. Extreme Terrain and Quadratec seem to just list anything being drop shipped as in stock even if the supplier has a...
Motobilt has some nice ones. A little different style though.

Eh, they came up with the programing because of a shitty shifter design. Bean counters probably looked at it and said add it to every model to make up cost.
I don't think you will find any that have a blindside warning light, maybe the Jeep half doors do though. I use the CMM mirrors, pricey, but well made and extremely solid.
