Those of you with the rear upper isolators. I'm having a hell of a time keeping them tight. Just driving around town and the little nut slowly backs off allowing the whole isolator "knob" to loosen up too. What are you doing to prevent this?

I have had zero issues with mine. I haul kayaks, wood etc and never had any problems with them. Here are how mine look. I would maybe try locktite?

That's exactly how mine look too, but the nut keeps backing off. Did you crank down on it when you put yours on? I've not tried that yet. I'm Leary of using locktite too because if I want to tack it off that'll make it much harder.

Yeah the nut is pretty tight, a little more than snug. Maybe you could put a second nyloc nut to back it up.

I picked up a my Gobi Stealth Rack a few weeks ago and love it. Mounted my CVT Awning on it with some Fourtrek brackets. I will eventually move this awning to the rear and get a longer one for the side.

Resuscitating this thread
I just got my Gobi installed over the past weekend. Very impressed with how it arrived...could have been dropped from 15,000 and survived. Install was smooth, no issues and fit is perfect. Got the CVT awning and a lightbar installed and just need to get the RTT up top!
