Gobi ULTRA Stealth Roof Rack
 
Here's the Gobi Stealth rack modified to be an Ultra Stealth rack. I'll eventually get the wind deflector put on, but need to modify it a bit to account for my GPS puck.







The clearance between the bottom of the rack and top of the roof (at its highest point in the middle) is about 7/8 of an inch. I contemplated fabbing shorter brackets, since the 2" that come with the stealth are the shortest that Gobi makes; but Gobi pointed out that the rack will bend under full load and the 7/8" clearance is there to compensate for that flex.

The rack is a bit taller than the H2 roof handles that I was rocking, but shorter than the OEM crossbars...mission accomplished in my book. I can throw a piece of plywood on my truck and still fit in them fancy 'big city' parkin' garages...lol.

looks good, I forgot who you said did the work (if you did in the other thread) but definitely looks good. I need to post pics of mine.

Rudy's Welding Service and Cold Beer (and powder coating) in Middletown, MD did the work. ALWAYS a quality job from those folks!

I've already been asked "How you gonna tie your sh!t down?" Here's the answer...Snap Loc E-Track Brackets...the perfect accessory for the Ultra Stealth rack. LOL!

Your gps should be fine behind your wind deflector...Thats where mine is, never had a slow lock or low signal.

I had the top rail cut off to make it a flat rack, then had the whole unit powder coated.
