I have the GOBI Stealth rack and at the back of the rack on both sides there are two square shaped cut-outs. I called GOBI and they said those cut-outs are for future add-ons for the rack. Anyone know what those square cut-outs are going to be used for?

I always figured the holes were to make room for lights and related wires?

Yeah, the top (walking to area) holes. I guess it could be for fuel cans but then it seems to me that the bottom of the fuel can would be resting on the actual roof and that can't be a good thing for the paint.

Maybe GOBI is saving on metal? Little pieces from you ... little pieces from me

Any idea if it's possible to get the bracket and custom fuel cans to fill in this whole?

We have a different kit to make that work, but it does not use those holes in the back.
You use a set of cargo buckles, DELTA hooks, and fuel or H2O Cans. These are military grade and will not leak or crack. The cargo buckles are sweet. you mount them onto the side of your rack. They do not add any height. I drove with two full H2O cans from Denver to Moab, a week worth of off roading, and drove back. Those cans didn't budge and took seconds to take on and off to refill.
I wouldn't want anything in those holes on the rack. The paint would be scratched up if not done properly. If you need something to fill those holes, I think something could be made. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I will be ordering the cargo buckle system very shortly. How do they attach to the rack?
This next question might take this thread on a detour but what ideas do you have to fill those holes?

It seems like the space allocated for lights is a bit excessive though.

They look about the right size to "safely stabilize" a 12 pack of beer.
I am envious. My Gobi rack lacks this feature.
Ok TIM! What is it for?

IT's for lights. All the new holes back there are about 12" X 4".

14.5"x11" Lights = 18" LCD or plasma screens for the video freaks.

Tim,
You're scaring me.
I know the whole Hummer thing... make it big... NO! Really big.... etc....
But what find of light needs a 12" x 4" cutout?

Ok, the original concept of these racks were for the Forest Service and they have a custom fuel can that would hook into that spot with a bracket. all the new racks have much smaller openings. Some racks were even closed off back there at the request of some customers.
That pic in the last post is how the new ones look. There is just enough room for you to run the wires and loom up through there.

This picture right from GOBI's site seems to support the lighting theory.

This is very mysterious!
