Another thought: Once the rack is on the roof, how the heck do you load and unload gear from it? Straddle the bed cover and/or stand up through the sunroof? Collapsible ladder, maybe? How did you do it with your old rig before Gobi made the ladder?[/quote]
The Gobi went on (with Ladder) on the old rig a week or two after I got it. So it was never a problem. I have a chest that all of my MTN Bike gear is in. It has wheeles and I stood on that to put the bikes up there or someone just handed them up to me.
Now I will do the same but will be easier since the bike doesn't have to go all the way up on top. I am 5'7" 168 lbs. I have been standing on the cover with the tail gate closed and staying to the sides and no problems so far. I'd like to find out what the weight limit is for that thing. may have to reinforce that cover with something.
