Its the standard size, sleeps two and a half, and is the new poly cotton material. But there is a family size available too. If you want any info for the owner of the company later on Ill hook you up with his number or email. I looked around a lot and this company had the best price, and free delivery.

I installed the ranger with 4 round lights. I'm guessing I wasnt expecting such an increase in windnoise and it seems like I lost two MPG. Is the stealth rach with smaller square lights a big difference in these two aspects?

You running the wind deflector? It'll cut down on most of the wind noise at the header, but will cause more flapping of the rear on a soft top.

I've run both the stealth and now the stealth recon version of the front lightbar half, so I can't compare it to the Ranger, but I don't have much wind noise at the header...even with the top off it's not too loud.

Man, I've been looking at these for a month now trying to justify spending more on the rack and Thule attachments than I'll have in the kayak and bike that I'll be carrying with it. This deal and all the talk is sure making it tough on me.

Feel ya B5Rider...

I'm changing my setup 1) for a new look, and 2) need to put the Jeep in long-term storage for deployment = no rack

I really love this roof rack, I know I'm gonna regret letting it go.

Hi David,

With all the price changes and specials over the life of the Gobi roof rack thread, I am not sure what's the current price anymore...
So what the price this week and how long does it take to get once an order is placed ; ) It would be a 2dr with AEV rear bumper and AEV corner kit. It would ship to Pasadena CA.

cheers.

ok

I'm picking up a new Unlimited and a rack is a must in my family. so i have to decide which one.

the gobi rack looks great and sounds like everyone here loves it. I want one but i have never seen one in person. I have had a garvin for years on my 2 door jeep and have been leaning on keeping with it, but i sure like the looks of the gobi.

has anyone ever used both? anyone can give me advice on compairing the two?

thanks
