Bummer. If they ship common carrier from Colorado on Tues., there's no way it will be here on Thursday. Now comes the hard choice - drive the Pilot and bring the toys or drive the Jeep and leave the toys at home? Looks like a family vote.

Let me know if you have a firm ship date. I may tell them to delay it a week so it's not sitting in my driveway all week.

Now you're just making me jealous...

I'm so bummed over not having it for vacation (7-10 day turnaround - right...) that I'm inclined to cancel the order. The problem is, there's nothing else that comes close and I'd mount up a Wilderness or Wild Boar as a solution and always wish I had the Gobi.

Thanks - just kidding - it looks great.

Have you tried lifting it for soft top access yet? If so, how hard is it?

Did you get the quick disconnects?

Scott.

The rack was shipped out last week. I did not mean shipping out this week. Sorry for the confusion.

Your rack is currently in CT the shipping company will try and get hold of you either today or tomorrow AM.


All quick disconnect will be shipping out soon.

One of the trade offs in my marriage is that I've had to learn to make mechanical assists for turning two man jobs into one man jobs. Pulleys, levers, rollers, you name it. I'll have to engineer something to make it easier. Or stretch my ten year old.

Looks like I'll be installing tomorrow night - any tips?

Yeah, make sure you have 2 people to lift the rack and hold the 2 cross bars while you put bolts in. Its packaged extremely well and took 15+ minutes just to get everything unpacked. Have fun !!
