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?

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?

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

I noticed the PICS on the GOBI site of the Stealth Rack don't have the cut-outs so I called GOBI and they said all the new racks are coming with the cut-outs now.
Here is the PIC on the GOBI site:

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

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?

Those holes are much bigger than that. I just measured them and they are 14.5" x 11"

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

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.

It will not rest on the roof after you add the $5892.00 Jerry can rack adaptors from Gobi!

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

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

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.

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