GOBI Racks Rock!!
Finally took some pics of it... enjoy!
Sorry no action shots... girlfriend doesn't like to get muddy when we're going out for the night... and she wouldn't take any of me jumping up and down on the roof... Clay bird throwre is getting mounted as soon as I get my extension on my garage... The truck fits in now but with the thrower on it's 3 inches too high...

I know that usually gobi is a no drill install but I can see the foot that is farthest forward rests on the plastic and not on the rails. Do you have to drill any of the vehicle to mount the rack or ladder?

No drilling.
In front of the rail, there is a whole with a fctory bolt that hold the plastic roof chanel in place. There's a welded in nut to the frame. GOBI uses a nylon spacer and than the bracket to attch to the rack. WORKS GREAT!!!!

Re: GOBI Racks Rock!!
no drilling but I would recommend more than 2 people to lift the rack... My brother and I lifted it and it was a bit scary... I had to put scaffolding across the hood so that we could get it up on the roof... I would say 4 people would be the optimal number but 2 normal size guys can handle it... and I know it says 500lbs is the max weight but it can handle allot more... The rack is a bit pricey but it's worth IT!!! If any body has any contacts for off-roading lights I'm all ears... I just don't want to drop 600+ dollars on lights...

You could always use the HELLA FF75 lights. THey fit and are cheap vs the $700 for PIAA lights. IMO, the PIAA are a higher quality light, but if you are just wanting them for occasional use, the Hella's are just fine.

I bought some Hella 75's for my gobi rack, driving for the front, floods for the back. They are much more affordable than the PIAA'S and unless you really need the light all the time...Quote:
