What is the overall max height of a an H3 with 33" tires with the Gobi Stealth rack? I only have 78" of clearance in my garage, will it fit?? How about the standard rack?
Thanks,
-Jeff </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Jeff, here are a couple of clearance heights for you. feel free to PM me with any questions.
Stealth rack is at 6'7"
Full Size Rack is at 6' 11"
Are you 100% sure that is the height of your garage door? That is really low. A stealth rack would be an inch too tall. A standard height garage door today is between 82" and 84" depending on trim. Let me know if you have more questions,
Tim.

Thanks Tim. The garage door frame is about 80-82", but the problem is the door doesn't seem to open as far as it could. I was hoping to not have to deal with that issue, but sounds like I should see if I can get a couple more inches out of it. I'm sure if I had the opener professionally installed instead of doing it myself, all would be well. :-)

How did you run the wiring for the lights and do you notice much of an increase in wind noise?
Thanks
Greg

Wind noise isn't too bad. to run the wires you pop off the outside A Pillar moldings, air vents on either side of your hood and run the wires down the A Pillars to the engine bay over to your battery. The switches come in through the sidewall boot on the DR SD and run under your dash to wherever you mount the switches. the first H3 rack I wired was my sig. others and it took about five hours. Next one can be done in around 3 1/2. It's more or less just taking your time to neatly tuck wires and anchoring them. This was much easier than running wires for the H2 racks. The rear lights are pre-wored in the rack and stick out the front already, so you run those down the same way. Feel free to PM me with any specific Q's.

Insane, I will not be buying a Gob rack unless the prices come down about half where they belong. In addition, they need a rack that doesn't encompass the sunroof at all. If a person doesn't want lights, what's the use of sticking a rack up there in the high pressure wind stream along the trailing edge of the window. Yup, I'll make my own.
And $299 for a LADDER!?! Man alive, I was born at night, just not LAST night!

If nobody bought them price would drop.
I would like to get one without the sunroof opening that just covers the back.

Get on a ladder and check it out. Ours was behind the light cover.

I've got a plasma cutter, a TIG, and twenty years experience, wanna bet? Heck I may just make it out of aluminum. Maybe I can get my hands on some titanium stock, maybe stainless. I'm sure it'll cost less even then.
