New Gamiviti Rack from HIH

[bozncsurf]

A member from the forum won a Gamiviti roof rack at Hundreds in the Hills this year and posted an unclear picture (night shot in the garage). I cant find the picture again. I searched.

And yes I've read this thread:
new Gamiviti rack - Expo+

I was excited to see Gamiviti now offers a fairing and new add-ons that I don't see listed on his website. If the winner of the rack or any members have any info on the rack (pics would be sweet) I'd love to hear more about it.

Thanks for your help.

I'll take some pix of mine, the rack that Gamiviti gave away in the raffle is the exact rack I had built in July.

Full expo++, sunroof delete, light bar drop down, light tabs, rear qtr mesh, tie downs, 39" light bar, fairing and powder coated

Sounds like you went for every possible option .. and then ones I didnt know existed. Really like how Gamiviti is taking it to the next level. Wish everything was this customizable (real word??)

Thanks for info, i look forward to the pics.

Having this exact rack built at the moment. Tim has been really easy to work with.

You'll love it @DoublePump I'm in the process of adding LED lights on the rack at the rear/sides.

I've got a roof top box and and ARB awing installed as well

@dubitup Very nice!!! I really like your set up. I plan on doing led in the rear in a setup that will provide back-up lighting but I also want to have the ability to turn on whenever i want with a switch in the rear. Haven't put pen to paper yet though so its still just an idea. Let me know how it goes! i would like side lighting as well.


Looks like we have the same wheels as well! Just put 295/70/18 cooper stt pros on my tundra wheels. Can't wait to get the new springs on so i can fit the new shoes on her!!!

Looking good. Def going with a Cargo Box as well. Been scanning CL for a deal. That Yakima looks like the ideal length. How long (inches) is the box? Could you shoot some others angles of the rack? In this picture you actually cant even see the rack .. which I guess makes it pretty dang stealth Nice build.

For some reason my reply came up in the "copied" gray box above???

@bozncsurf I will snap some pix tonight

We featured a Gamiviti rack in issue 9 of OutdoorX4 Magazine. Plus.... I've had one on my 100 for 4 years. The new style ones are very nice.

Issue 9

Here are some pix of the rack

I absolutely F**KING love this rack

 

[bozncsurf]

So my immediate thoughts are that this rack looks cool because it's on a tastefully built black 100.

But after reading and reviewing the pics (which I greatly appreciate) - the rack becomes twice as cool. A lot of thought went into this build - I mean a Snap off fairing is out of control awesome, the addition of a mesh floor is necessary (as the Gobi had one up on it), the light bar opening flows with the design, the tie down points seem easily accessible, and the low profile fits into garages.

I think your rear ladder is great for un/loading as well as your sliders.

Yes ... The rack is brilliant.

I posted the night shots (IMHO they weren't blurry).
I'm happy to take more shots of the rack. What would you like to see exactly?
I have an RTT (Mt. Shasta) installed, so the basket on the rear is obstructed, but you can see it in full in the previous posts.
You are correct @bozncsurf the snap off fairing to reveal a 40" light bar is too rad.
Another 'bad' photo, but you get the idea.

I didn't say blurry .. I said unclear (as things often are on the minature screen of my iPhone 4) - who knows there could've been a finger print smudge on the touch screen to blame.

I'm a big fan of the RTT and looks like there is still plenty of room up front. I see the rear mounts are closer on the back rack making it ideal for supporting the weight of the tent and occupants .. I saw the option for a 4th mounting plate but that wouldn't seem necessary with a sunroof opening, right?

I appreciate the photo - and the fact that you actually use your rack!

You're the man gwatts!

I love the quick disconnects for the awing, just which I still had my awing !!

Also with a Gamiviti rack order if you want something a little different just ASK. Every rack is built to order, one of a kind!
Mine is expo++ with special allowance for a big ass light bar. This rack could not compliment the Columbus tent any better either, perfect support and just the right fit on width to help protect the tent.

How much wind noise do you get with the full rack? I suspect I'll just live with it but i'm curious.

 

[dubitup]

I still hear my tires more than the rack. with the fairing, its silent

Impressive.

Did you have to use the "Tower Riser Kit" (as per website gives an extra 2" of height) to create enough room for the larger light bar opening?

Really loving this racks versatility.

With the side rails running nearly the entire length, it seems that it might be a pain to get to the nuts on the mounting brackets of an RTT. I have the earlier version of the same rack and have found that it's the best rack for the money.
