I got it to work for me.

Bak Revolver X4 with Yakima Overhaul HD with added tonneau kit.
Slides into T-slot channel.
Couple of issues you will have is rolling the cover up to the front of the cab you have to force it past the tower at the cab. (It will go past just not smoothly)
Second issue is the rubber seal on the Bak Revolver will be slightly raised resting on the towers. Nothing I was concerned about and used the system for about 3 weeks when I decided to change to a Overland build.

thanks for pointing me in the right direction of this thread.

the yakima rack with a rolling tonneau is exactly what i need. i have had a few emails back and forth with yakima and retrax. i need to get in touch with rugged ridge to see what they have in store.

yakima did a bunch of stress testing with retrax, that is why they say it can hold so much weight. as far as the cs rep knew, they had not done testing with other racks so while it might work, they don't recommend it. retrax said that they can't solve the gas filler bump (even though i sent links to the other companies products that can do it) and clamping it on the bed rails.

so bak revolver might be it. i really don't need the rack until the weather gets nicer, so i have a bit of time to see what comes to market.

I'm using the Xtrusion-Overland rack with my Revolver X4s. They have brackets specific to the X4s and it allows you to run an 8" longer rack than their standard Gladiator rack. I did lose maybe an inch of roll at the end, but I need to adjust my tonneau to get it centered better too.

Is there something stopping the base bracket from sliding forward to make up that inch you’ve lost for the roll?

The plastic end cap sticks into the channel, I actually lost another half inch or so because I mounted the double T nuts the wrong way in that picture. Didn't realize I only had the older picture on here. I also need to recenter my cover because it is off just a bit, and that night give me some space back.

Ah, got ya. Thanks for letting us know we can get the extra length with this set up too. Do we have to message them for that? I only see a 48” option on their website.

You might need to message them about it. They are easy to work with, I'm sure if enough people request the longer rack they will put it on the website. I think the owner had mentioned some big changes for the website soon, so they might be waiting on that.

It looks like they did add it. Maybe it shows up after you select Revolver bracket?

Another great tip from #fcmalie! I hadn’t selected the BAK option first. Much appreciated
