Default Gobi Racks

Does anyone know what Apillar light mounts work with a Gobi rack on a JKU?

I think part of that will depend on which version of the gobi you have. I've had mine for a year and the newest ones use different mounting holes on the a pillar than mine does.

I don't recall which light brackets I'm running, but the Gobi rack uses one of the two forward-facing bolts on each side of the windshield hinge, so I just made a spacer for the other bolt to fill the gap behind my brackets. I hope that makes sense.

This shot is looking up the driver side toward the light bracket. Because the Gobi rack only uses the top bolt there's a gap between the light bracket and the windshield frame at the bottom bolt hole. I had put nylon spacers in that gap, but I've just noticed that the guy who put my Gobi front section back on after welding some light bar tabs didn't put them back in. The mounting brackets are still solid, though.
