Well I didn't find any lights under the Christmas tree, but i did find a snowman!

 

 

Banessi, I see you've got a hard top, but have you tried to tilt your rack back with those RR taillight guards?

As a heads up, I almost ripped my taillight off today. I put my quick disconnects on so I can put my soft top down and the bolt that attaches the ladder to the driverside vertical bar is catching on the top of the driverside taillight guard. I was able to minimize the problem by flipping the bolt head around to the other side, but still need to come up with a better fix, maybe a flatheaded bolt.

OFF TO LOWES.

 

@ CEDO, thanks for the heads up! I haven't tilted it back but I plan on doing it this weekend to install the quick disconnects that Gobi finally shipped. Again, thanks for the heads up and I'll be wary of that when I do tilt it back. I had already noticed that the stabilizer knobs on the side would hit.

 

Has Gobi released their fairing yet? I understood it was to be released in November, but I don't see it on their site. I want some MPG back!!

 

ETA end of Jan. I will keep you guys updated.

 

Wheeling in the snow. I picked up some Hella 500FF's at Walmart and put them on. Saving up for the PIAA lights, but figured the Gobi Rack looked a little plain without them.

 

Will this work with the Gen 1 River Raider snorkel?

Thanks,
Mike

 

What are you getting MPG wise? Are you still stock? I've got a stock Jeep and i'm getting like 13 on my little read out.

 

I dropped from low 17s (17.3-ish) to just under 16. I have four IPF lights on the rack so I'm not sure if that helps or hurts (probably hurts). I am also worried that the wind dampener will even work if we have lights on the rack. Something tells me now.

Speaking of getting worse mileage, I'm thinking about getting a lift and wanted to know if you've determined that the 2.5 lift will enable you to get 35s under your Jeep. I had heard you had to get at least a 3" lift. I'm in now hurry to get 35s and may even stick with the 32s since it is my daily driver but that doesn't mean I won't change my mind.
