I ordered my stealth 4 door gobi from alpha expedition on December 30th 2011 and I Received it on the 17th which is today and I couldn't believe how fast it took. On the website it says 3-4 weeks! I had a nice lady that called me yesterday and asked when was the best day and time for the delivery and the driver would call me 30 minutes out to make sure someone was home. And they did just that, had a huge package put on my truck and hauled it to wear I was going to install it with the help of my uncle. You need 2 people with the install to help you raise the rack over the top . More hands the better we hand 4pairs just incase lol.

Packaged nicely heavy as hell lol and gotta love the made in the USA!

Everything is built very nicely and feels very sturdy I was walking all over the rack and the ladder feels rugged also. Powder coat looks great . The ladder and the wind deflector came with the rack so I was very happy about that. It was a easy install no drilling everything is bolt on, that's one of the reasons I chose this one. You do have to remove the rear bumper but it's a few bolts. And its funny I decided to leave my rear bumper off due to the fact I have a LOD bumper with tire carrier from northridge4x4 and I didn't know when it was going to arrive and when I came home today it was there!

It was my birthday on the 15th so this was a great b-day present to myself! The install took 4 hours and we were taking our time. I love it and I think it looks great! If you guys have any questions I will try and answer them the best I can.

And also alpha expedition had some great customer service.

Looks great. If you wanted to take out your hard top, does the rack swivel/pivot away or do you have to remove it completely to get to the hard top? Thanks.

Without the ladder it will just slide out the back but with the ladder you would need to take off the ladder to slide out the hardtop.

Awesome looking Jeep, does the front of the rack have an option to place any lights?
