Show off your Gobi roof rack.
I am in the saving up stage for a Gobi stealth roof rack that I'm going to put on my 2014 JKUR, I'd like to see any and all Gobi roof racks. 2 door or 4 door it doesn't matter. I'd also like to hear your pros and cons about them.
My goal is to have one by Overland Expo West 2016. Bonus points if you have an RTT on it too. Extra bonus points if you've used an AEV snorkel on the 3.6 engine as well, but you must explain how you did it!

Pros: It's badass! No squeaks, rattles or issues with it. Holds a ton of weight.
Cons: Price...but it is worth it!

I hope this is what you had in mind. I have the 3.8L but maybe it will help. The GOBI rack slightly contacts the snorkel but doesn't affect anything. I installed the rack somewhat loose and tightened everything down once I liked how it fit. I tweaked it before finally wrenching down on the bolts. I had to modify the passenger mirror relocation bracket from Rugged Ridge to fit around the snorkel. I had to extend the passenger side to clear it.

Yes, I can see these pictures! Your pictures are exactly how I want my build to be aimed. To explore and go places where these beautiful views can be seen. Do you notice a significant MPG loss with all the gear on the top? Some people have said yes and others no in the different threads I've seen.
I started this thread so that everyone with a Gobi can post up pics of their Jeeps, and for those like myself who are interested in purchasing one can have a place totally committed to it.
I've read through the expedition threads and roof rack threads, I love them all, but there was a ton of info on all of the different items people use and not just the Gobi rack. I'm about 99% sure that the Gobi is the way I am going to end up going, but I'd still like everyone to post up their pics and information/opinions they have gained on owning this rack.
