I have that question ask to the rep, as soon as I get the answer I will let you know.

Nice!
How well do the lights work on the front. Are they bright enough to be usefull?

I'd guess your asking about the stealth rack (smaller profile)? According to Gobi the light output of the PIAAs is very good. I should have my rack and lights soon, once I do I will do some testing and report back

I'll look forward to the update!

SunFuCru · 05-13-06, 10:48 AM

Does anyone know how much noise these racks create at speed? I really like the looks of the stealth rack and the ladder. I hope it will take my 215 pound bulk!

mapleton cruiser · 05-13-06, 09:58 PM

the load on the gobi is 300lbs.

chewey46 · 05-17-06, 12:28 PM

I got the reply back from the rep about the ladder. He told me that it should hold up to 300 lbs with the back door shut...

mapleton cruiser · 05-17-06, 02:59 PM

ordered the ranger rack and ladder yesterday gobi said a week out until shipped, i will post pics when i get it installed.

Granger · 05-17-06, 05:14 PM

My stealth comes on Friday. Should have it installed Friday evening. Pics to follow

TexasBadlands · 05-19-06, 07:39 PM

The Ranger looks rad. How much is it?

Also, to let you know roof racks add a bunch of wind noise compared to without. I aint thinking of noise myself, just function.

mapleton cruiser · 05-20-06, 09:00 PM

its $1,499.00 its alot but its functional as opposed to the factory roof rack wich in my opinion is not very functional at all

Baldman · 03-26-07, 10:31 AM

I did not see the weight restrictions for the rack within the thread or on the GOBI site. Does anyone know the max. ratings? Also, does the ladder keep one from using the glass hatch (as it logically appears)?

BRICKTOP · 03-28-07, 10:21 PM

I have the Gobi Stealth and I believe they both are rated at 300 pounds. And yes, the ladder makes the rear glass unusable. The whole setup looks absolutely fantastic though and the ladder is handy when you're lifted a couple inches.

ZFJCruiser · 03-29-07, 09:20 PM

Ordered an ARB roof rack with the grid bottom for nearly half of the cost of the Gobi. Also, the ARB has a flat bottom while the Gobi follows the curve of the roof. If you haven't bought a rack yet, consider the ARB in addition to the Gobi.

rfjtoy · 03-29-07, 09:39 PM

I'll second that, compare before you buy.

RAAK_FJ · 07-08-07, 11:39 PM

I am interested in the ARB RR with mesh flooring. would you have any pics that you could post...
thanks...

Very cool rack

RACERX24 · 07-09-07, 05:30 PM

I have the rack and ladder..I love the way they look,but man is the rack LOUD...It is a pain to try and wash and dry under it as well..I would like to know if anyone has the stealth and put the lights on the front..Where did you run the wires into cab at..Thank you

BRICKTOP · 07-13-07, 12:13 AM

I did the stealth with lights front and rear. The wiring goes down the A-pillar after you pop off the covers (breaking all the clips in the process so order about 10-12 extra if you are doing front and rear and running down left and right A-pillars) and it all works great. No wind noise to speak of and it looks pretty slick.

RACERX24 · 07-13-07, 03:51 PM

Thanks for the info..I am surprised I have not seen yours in the Couv running around..Mine is the only one I have seen with the Rack and ladder..

BRICKTOP · 08-23-08, 10:45 PM

I'm quick....only took me a little over a year to respond.

Are you still driving an FJ? I noticed you have a TRD out on your lot.
I actually don't drive the FJC. It's my wife's daily driver. It's pretty easy to spot though. TRD edition, red hi lift jack on the Gobi, Expedition One front bumper and Bushwacker flares.
I drive a big green Rubicon Unlimited and I pass by your dealership just about every day.

RACERX24 · 09-06-08, 12:28 PM

Ya we have a used one here..I still have my FJ,I dont see my self getting rid of it anytime soon..I have a Gobi ladder and rack..Red highlift as well..Warn front and rear bumpers..OME lift..We probably lokk similar other then the roof..
