Gobi is a great system. Been researching on what to get and found these photos online and this is the setup I plan to get. I like the fact I can keep my 50 inch bar with this setup.

It would be a little quicker on the newer tops since the don't have a Channel above the door anymore.

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.

Overall, with all of the above, I have a pretty light foot when I just drive around town, so only 2-3 mpg decrease from stock. When I do drive more aggressively, yeah, 10mpg all day.
When all loaded up like the above pictures, there is definitely a decrease in freeway and 40-60mph speeds. But around town, and crawling around, obviously no difference.
Any other particulars just post them up!
