Default requesting pics please

Can anyone post a picture of the part (E on instruction manual) called REAR TOWER SUPPORT PLATE? And/or the measurements please. I am trying to figure out if this will fit my body armor high clearance rear bumper with tire carrier (the tire carrier is not installed yet). Thank you. PS if anyone from Gobi is reading I have a question: Do you fabricate custom tower support plates? Thanks

Ranger Rack is set for delivery on Thursday. You're the man. Ordered it on 7/14 and you got it delivered before the end of July!! You even followed up the order with a phone call on a Sunday. WTF.. Who does that?? Way above and beyond bro!
Great customer service Alpha Expedition.
Thanks

I'd say about 2-3 MPG average.

Just to give you an idea, my Rubicon with 4.10s, fridge and slide, bumpers, Gobi rack, 3-4"lift, 35"s OR-Fab carrier, and 10 gallons of spare fuel does 12.9 MPG at 68MPH on flat freeways. However, I can go up mountains all day long and not get below 12.2 with 2 large pelican cases on the raack. At first I really felt the drag it at addrd, but I quickly got used to it.

Also, my rack is the stealth, but I doubt there would be much, if any, difference in MPG loss.

Hope this helps!

Looks like I should start a new thread, since I am now a sponsor here again under the new screen name. :P

How common is it to have interference with the factory navi with a roof rack?
