Default Gobi rack and High Rock bumper / tire carrier on 14 JKU

Installed a Gobi Stealth on my JKU 2014 model year. Wow what an amazingly well built rack . All of it went on quite well, just not an easy task on the rear bumper . This was due to my High Rock by Best Top rear bumper fitting just close enough so the rear mount of the Gobi would not route itself between the JK tub and the High Rock bumper. I very carefully measured and cut a square out of the top of the bumper to give a free place for the Gobi rack mount to sit, cutting it about .25" larger all the way around the square Gobi plate. These bumpers are real beauties, so I was very careful to take my time, and reseal and paint the cut edges, the proper rust inhibitive paints were utilized too. This is something all Gobi and High Rock future buyers should realize, don't let it stop you though, mine looks really good. No squeaks, no rattles, just awesome in all ways. Truly my hat is off to Gobi, and for great customer service from the tech team at Best Top as well.

Congrats on the install. That was a little more in depth than the single gusset I had to cut on my bumper to complete the install. After removing mine for the next jeep, I will recommend anti-seize for the lower bolts.
