funny you ask, I was just digging into this yesterday.
So I 'bought' mine thru an ebay dealer during one of their 5 or 8% sales on June 28.
The same day I 'bought' it, they called me, said they screwed up, and weren't supposed to post it yet as the info was just sent to them for ad mock-up. I could either cancel and get a refund or they'd give me another 10% off if I waited. I figured I'd wait as no one had them yet and I might as well get another 10% back.
A couple of days later they showed 'shipped' with a USPS first-class tracking number, package arrived, but just a thank you card. (I figure so they could show as 'delivered')
I emailed them, no response; I emailed Blackhorse, no response; I tried calling them yesterday, no response. I opened a ticket with ebay, they archived my communications for the record and emailed the dealer. Low and behold, they then reply.
State they are waiting to be unloaded from the manufacturer container, so as long as I have ebay involved and a email track record of all this, I wait.
Yikes! What a pain.

Retrax has stated they will not be making a cover for the gladiator.
Bummer. I liked that combo.

Maybe Pace Edwards will, supposed to work with that too.

Still probably get the Yakima, but thought the tonneau integration was clever.

Or go badass and get a Diamondback.

Looks interesting, bit pricey but what isn't for a Jeep. Noise?
Noise is less than it is with a soft top. Not really much noisier than it is with the Freedom panels installed.

BTW, there are always discounts on these things. Keep an eye on sales from @Northridge4x4 they have 20% off regularly. It’s still a bit pricey after that but I use is ALL THE TIME.

Geeezus. Thats some shit. The Blackhorse website says they are located in NY - you think the are just rep for some overseas manufacture? I like the concept. PM me if you finally get one.
ebay dealer called NOJOY. :(
Hello, We were contacted by the manufacturer and this item will be delayed further, we are going to refund you this item immediately. Thank you,

You know, you try to find a cover that'll work with a rack and you get answers like this.

I emailed Pace-Edwards them recently and they said “We do plan to have a cover for this new Jeep. However it will not be coming out until November at the earliest.”
