Default Gobi Rack + Windshield-mounted KC lights

Hey everyone!

First post! I am very seriously considering purchasing a Gobi roofrack for my Jeep Wrangler X 2 door. I just recently installed a set of KC lights using the KC windshield-mounted brackets. (Found here: http://www.quadratec.com/products/12110_604.htm ) My only concern is whether or not these specific brackets will fit along with the necessary lightbar for the Gobi rack. I really hope they will both work together, and that the light brackets can be installed over the rack brackets. Also, would the stock screws be long enough to accompany both layers of accessories? Hopefully anyone with similar experience between these products can offer me up some insight.

Also, I'm assuming I'll need a spacer/washer between the roofrack bracket and the light-mount bracket, what would be the correct diameter for such a washer if anyone knows offhand. Thank you very much guys!

-Adam

I've got those same brackets over top of my Gobi bracket. You'll need to get 2-3 stainless washers (5/16", I THINK) for the bottom bolt. The windshield bolts are plenty long.

Ask David at Alpha Expedition. His link is below my signature. He sells the Gobi
