Don't know if the manufacturers pay any attention to threads like these but I am also in the market for the whole enchilada. Problem is there are no perfect matches. If you review this thread you will notice one glaring deficiency. Look at the tire carriers and bumpers. Only a couple come close to fitting reasonable well. 80% or better have the spare mounted way too high as well as sticking out way too far. What's up with that?
I have a way around that problem and when/if I get the chance/time to make it I'll be sure to share it.

I took one if the extra billet motorcycle grips I had lying around, sanded and painted it.
I filled it with JBWeld (the putty, not the liquid), slid it on, trimmed the excess, and let it dry.
Camp Crocker gave me the idea, but his is prob better, as he welds a pipe onto it, then puts the grip onto the pipe.

It's one off, like most of my stuff, but it can be reproduced.
