Roof Racks...

[KenP]

Gobi isn't the cheapest out there, but it sure is a nice rack. Solid as a rock. I can get on the rack with my boy and shake the truck back and forth. That's about 315 lbs moving around up there.

Matt, you'll see my Gobi in a few weeks if you can wait that long.

Can you still use the sunroof with stealth rack for the SUT?

And how much taller is it than the factory roofrack cross bars? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Yes, just order the rack for the sunroof.

If there is a difference in height, it's so minimal, I didn't notice. The rack is higher in the front, but the rake of the truck more than compensates for it.

I wouldn't get anything but a GOBI!

Thanks for all the responses - This site ROCKS!!

I'll wind up getting 1 of the Gobi racks and it good to hear all the positive feedback for them.

It makes it alot easier to drop a couple thousand when soo many have positive things to say.

So, Thanks again fellas!!!

Keeper, did you get your answer? Are you parking in the garage?

It would depend on what you're carrying. To get one as close to the roof as the Gobi with 2" brackets requires the rack to be sturdy. Otherwise you could easily bump the rack into the roof.

Hello all - I have finally justififed (to my wife) the need for a roof rack. I'm home after surgery and have spent a good bit of time reading much of the previous roof rack posts. However, I still have some questions and would LOVE to see some pics of your roof rack installs.

I'm obviously considering the Gobi racks and had a few questions regarding those. 1 previous post by Sandra mentioned that they'd have something out to accommadate the snowboard rack but I couldn't find anything about it on their site?

So..

?1 - Is there someway to mount a snowboard rack with the Gobi racks?
?2 - For those with Gobi racks, any issues/regrets, etc.

I also like the look of the this SMA rack: http://www.smahummer.com/detail.jsp?cid=8&pid=734.

? - Does anyone have this rack? How is it? Any issues, likes/dislikes?
? - Can the SMA accommadate a snowboard carrier?
? - It appears to leave the sunroof completely unblocked - is that the case?
? - Can you stand on this one like the Gobi rack?

For either of these racks, I would want the sunroof completely unblocked, which I know Gobi takes care of.

Additionally, there was a post where someone had a Gobi rack w/out the tire mount cut out BUT had it customized with an bracket to mount the tire w/the ubolt: http://elcova.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/5106011751/m/983603...346030743#3346030743

Is this still an option through Gobi?

Is Sandra still out there? With Gobi? Do we get a discount being H2Source members?

I appreciate any advice you guys&gals can offer as most of the posts I reviewed were in 03 & 04.

Thanks in advance !!!

That looks great! Do you have any of the GOBI photo shoot pictures of the full size rack with the spare?
