Default Gobi stealth rack / trektop NX

Hey guys, I'm preparing to get the stealth rack and was wondering what it would look like with the trektop NX installed in the jeep. Having trouble finding pictures of the pair installed on a 4 door jku. So if anyone is running this can you post some pics. Thanks.

Not that this will help, but I had a stealth Gobi on my 2011 2 door with a hardtop and was totally awesome. My 2015 soft top is a little higher where the bows stick up, but I don't have the Gobi rack on it. I have seen pics on yahoo search and saw pics of Gobi racks on soft tops and they don't look to have any issues. I had plenty of clearance on my hard top with the stealth rack on it. Hope this helps bro...Good luck

Are you worried it's going to look goofy with the slant back and the roof rack support arms extending past the slant?

Contact Gobi or Trail Duty. Gobi can/will make their rack with the slant back for the trektop. They'll take a lot longer than they usually do, but they do it.



It's not my jeep, so I don't know anything about it, but when I was looking to put a gobi back on mine, I contacted Trail Duty who confirmed with Gobi they can/would make it. I lost interest and never got a price, but that little known option is there.

Gobi should just put these into standard production!

Yes. They do make one for a
Slant back. But I have a hardtop also so not an option for me. Will post pics. One thing u do need to know is that u will have to restrict the rear window from opening all the way up cuz it will hit the ladders.

This is how I restricted the back glass. Black parachute line attached to window pneumatic opening mounts.
