Don't Buy a GOBI ROOF RACK Until You Watch This! Review after Installing On A Soft Top Jeep Wrangler

[@willv7868]

I've had my Gobi rack for five years on my JK and it's the best purchase I bought for my Jeep. I use it for soft and hard top and it's awesome. I carry my kayaks or my roof top tent. I have also used it to carry mattresses, Christmas trees, plywood, you name it it's been on my rack. I even set up lawn chairs to watch the fireworks on the 4th of July. You're mounting something wrong because my is solid as a rock even at highway speeds. I paid 1500 USD with ladder and wind deflector. The deflector is not great and I drive without it. You don't necessarily need to buy Gobi accessories to add stuff to it. The only Gobi accessory I bought was the quick release and it works great. I have added Hi lift jack, extra lights front and rear, rotopax, shovels, awning etc all without buying Gobi accessories. I overland all the time on decent trails and never had issues with this rack. Sometimes I even run without the rack because it takes no effort with my hoist set up in my garage. And, btw, anything you add to the roof of your Jeep is always going to make some noise. Also, I think it's the best looking rack out there. It mounts close to the body and doesn't look out of place and bulky like some cheaper racks. And no drilling!

[@ryanaugustus]

@Will V do you leave the rack on 365/All the time? I'm a new wrangler owner (first time owner) and I just placed my order with Gobi - not sure I can keep mine on all the time due to height limitation in the garage but curious if you just leave yours on all the time.

[@willv7868]

@@ryanaugustus I leave it on all winter but in the summer I tend to take it off and on depending on my mood or when I'm carrying something. I have the quick disconnects in the front so it makes it easy. There are only two bolts in the back. With two people you can get it off in under ten minutes. I use a hoist I have set up in the garage. I hope that helps.

[@unclebrad5364]

I have a Gobi on mine with the quick release option and ladders as well and I love it! It's funny because everything you listed I've done as well. There's been times I'd want to take it off but don't because I use it so often so I keep it on 365. There rated for 300lbs (I believe) and I've had probably a little more than that on there during a trip to Lowe's. But I highly suggest anyone getting it! You won't be disappointed. Especially on the 4th of July!

[@danielnaipat4836]

I’ve had my gobi rack for a year. The best thing to do for the soft top is to add pipe insulation to the rack. Not as thick as a pool noodle but allows the buffeting to stop. Also I took my wind deflector off. I had the same issue with the wind noise. I learned to deal with the noise.

[@Casey250]

Thanks for the tip. I added some pipe insulation and he helps with the buffeting and protects the soft top... For now

[@raymason5264]

So what you're saying is that you dropped $3K on a POS... increased wind-noise, unstable when off-road, will wear out or damage the soft top, losing functionality as you can't remove the window panels as easily, plus you want to add accessories like lights, attachment points for other items (further increasing the weight on the rack) Dude, send that thing back!

[@overland63]

Ditto x 100. Absolutely the wrong purchase for this set-up.

[@Casey250]

May not of been a good purchase. Many people said they liked it that I spoke to before and I couldn't find much about them with a soft top other then Gobis materials on how it works with one so I took a risk. It's part of why I make videos too. Not everything works out as intended but I'm here to help inform other enthusiasts.

[@thethepete731]

Agreed. A pretty disappointing walkaround over all. Here's a 3K product that is sub par, and a catalogue of accessories you can purchase to make it suck a little less. Casey, glad you could take the hit for others, sorry to hear it's not what you hoped. Hopefully you can make lemonaide and use it still.

[@marceld6061]

I’ve had a Gobi roof rack on my JK for 5 plus years. I was having the wind noise issues at first with the wind defector. They can be adjusted, it looked on the video that it was laying right up against the windscreen. I have mine set with a gap.

[@krasnaludek298]

I had a Gobi rack on my previous Jeep ... a JK. The rack was very sturdy, but I never got the value out of it. Meaning that I only loaded cargo up top about 3-4 times. Having a 4-door Jeep; I can’t imagine a true need for more cargo space, unless going away from home base for more than 5 days. It sunk-in after a full Summer or 3-4 day trips where I could manage with organized packing in the cargo area. If I had to do it again, I’d do a Yakima setup with cargo box or Garvin at a fraction of the price to accomplish the same cargo volume.

[@leightonoc]

I’ve had a Garvin rack on my 2dr soft top wrangler for two years. None of those issues except the noise. I’ve got a tent on top, max tracks and an awning. Six various lights on the rack as well.

[@thethepete731]

Something you could maybe try (kinda obnoxious to have to modify a 3k product), would be to add some bracing from the side bars up to the rack in a few spots, looks like there's room to tuck one in at a shallow angle above the roof towards the inboard of the basket (if that makes any sense). The shifting around is because there's zero racking strength in that design. There's no lateral support to keep it from wanting to essentially "tip over" like a house of cards. You're right to be concerned about long term fatigue. Even with a hard top, the fact that they rely on some little rubber stoppers butted against the fibreglass top for lateral stability in a roof rack is a bit cheezy.

[@johnlewis2624]

I like the look of the Gobi rack but it seems like you have to put a lot more money towards correcting design features that the rack seems to bring after install which is a shame due to the high purchase price to begin with.

[@Casey250]

Indeed

[@tll2012]

Great Video as always Casey, I have 2 recommendations for future videos. 1. Mods that can help your Jeep loose weight and 2. how to Legally get more power from the Ecodiesel.

[@alessandroconcas]

OK the right answer was legally nothing without swapping engine, but for only offroad use can have more power with no_egr_mod de_fap map_chips scr_mod change_turbo need to add bigger fan and better radiator and transmission oil radiator because temp getting hot, with this upgrade suggest bigger brake rotor and think add power need to be match with equilibrium decision...

I’m running a Garvin rack that can hold 600 lbs on my 2021 rubicon diesel with a ikamper 2.0 but have a hard top to hold all

[@stanleyfurash7929]

3k for the rack but they make spend more for rubber strips and such to stop the buffeting. If you have a soft top by the time you make it functional for a soft top you approaching 5k. If you say your able to work with a soft top I shouldn't need to spend another 2k give or take. Extra cost for mounts I get but not basic stuff to make it function. After seeing your video I wouldn't touch this product. Great video though. Saved everyone at least 3k.

[@brucesinclair9628]

Ahhh Casey I can see the disappointment in your delivery, it sucks when you have certain expectations with something and it doesn't match. The suggestion of the pool noodles is a great one, one of the guys in Edmonton has done that and it does help. Just make sure that they are secured on the bar well or they will fly off at highway speeds. The one other thing to remember is the weight rating, if I'm not wrong the stabilizers are part of that dynamic weight, also the off road weight is different as well due to the flexing and off angle torquing. There has been some talk about that lately, maybe it is time to look at a hardtop ?? But then there might be some better options with the hard top... Great review and honest thoughts Casey just one of the many reasons you have a good following, peace.

[@Casey250]

Thanks. I have since added pipe insulation to the cross bars which helps the buffeting. I think the biggest frustrating is a product with a description to be used with a soft top, product material, and demo videos and then has unexpected performance. They don't mention that the dynamic and static load ranges change with a soft top. I see metal cloak has released a new rack which is very strength oriented.

[@Silvrwind1]

My friend who has the same set up, rack with soft top, uses pool noodles to wrap around his crossbars to prevent the rubbing and really reduces wind noise and flapping on the soft top. ( like 5 dollars a piece at walmart ).

Another thing to add that I didn't see in the video and comments, is Gobi's lead time. I've been reading somewhere near 6 months after ordering before receiving it. I still want one for my Jeep. Like you, I'm guessing, I bought my JKUR new but it was a soft top only. I lucked up and found a hard top someone was selling that came off a 2017, so who knows, maybe you can luck up like I did. As for the wind deflector, if you decide to put it back on, I'd put something protective between it and your Jeep's paint. There's another Overlander KZbinr (can't remember his name) that did a video where the Gobi rack on his WK2 grand Cherokee starting eating away at his paint because of the wind deflector.

[@Casey250]

Gobi supplies protective film for under the wind guard. I didn't mention the lead times as I have no idea how long they are. It seems they may be... Forever. I found this one sitting at a shop by sending a random email.

[@knudsenj100]

@@Casey250 Could that be why you are having fitment issues??? I have a rack on order for my TJ and they requested a lot of details such as pictures of my roof and aftermarket bumper mounting. Maybe that one was specifically ordered for a hardtop with as tight of clearance as possible I don't think you get those hardtop antisway supports without asking...

[@dohsferatu]

I think it’s because of the tent u have…. Did u ever try the wind deflector without the tent? U might need a different type of wind deflector if u r keeping the tent up there permanently.

[@jk_wrangler13]

Try it without the rooftop tent on top. The wight of the tent is probably what's making it move. I know it should be able to hold the wight but the rack might be defective.

[@thethepete731]

Not defective, but I wonder what Gobi's actual weight rating for offroad use is. I know with truck caps, they often have a dynamic load rating and a static one, and they're very often quite different from each other.

[@exoplanetnomad]

Passenger side ladder will limit what you can do with rear swing gate and tire carrier!

[@bahee7108]

I saw another video where a gentlemen wrapped pipe insulation styrofoam around the bars and secured them with zip ties to mollify his buffeting soft top. Can't see it from afar and it seems more comprehensive than the rubber stripping they offer. Good luck!

[@Casey250]

That is what I ended up doing. Its ok, but for $3000, disappointing.

[@Suki2010100]

I have the ranger rack with my hard top JKU. I did spend extra for the tent isolators and was fortunate to get the extra ladder with their specials. The tent isolators are a good investment especially for a hard top, but I have never had my rack sway even before I installed the isolators. I was paranoid about the rattling but honestly I think you will always have some noise. I do routinely inspect the rack, which is their recommendation. Would like to see a Gobi install video, I think that will give a lot of people some reassurance with the install. So far no regrets, and I have put it to the test at BIBE on some windy nights in the backcountry.

[@Arouth249]

You can’t deny that the Gobi rack is the sleekest rack for the wrangler

[@cotepierre68]

That’s a medium duty rack. You need an HD one. What is the moving vs static weight specs? I thought Gobi had a pretty much more HD roof rack? When I’m using my roof rack on either my soft or hard top, it’s loaded and the Jeep is also so, I don’t open it. Mine is the KMS Congo, it’s 4 bolt to remove it.

[@Casey250]

It's 300lb dynamic and 800lb static.

[@rook972]

I have a Gobi an it has some rust spots on the supports an most of the bolts have rusted. I’m too worried about snapping bolts off an having to drill them out to remove them an replace. An the rack constantly squeals when you hit a bump. The wind noise isn’t too bad but I have a hard top.

Ya the diesel doesn't even notice the weight.

I am not impressed with that roof rack. I have a Smitty Built that costs 1/4 of that price, is totally sturdy, and I added a Rhino wind deflector. There is zero wind noise. Keeping in mind that I do have a hardtop, I just don't care for a soft top.

[@greershaw6169]

Seems like the best solution if you want to keep the rack is to switch to a hard top.

Perhaps. It's challenging when a product lists being made for a use and then doesn't seem to fair well and requires buying a several thousand dollar hard top.

For something that costs 3k and is advertised as being designed to work with hard tops and soft tops, you’d think that you wouldn’t have to spend hundreds more just to get that soft top functionality and that it wouldn’t be so flexy when actually used with a soft top. Since you can’t use the upper hard top braces. My cousin has a Smittybuilt rack that does all of this on his JK.

[@Casey250]

Right?

[@alessandroconcas]

Great review! I think the added front spoiler make air wave between roof top tent and softtop, so (like you says) better to remove and add some lightbar and more scene light side by side and rear light (love the lights, but add bicolor red and white or bugs comes to you) and why not and 270 awning? Know it's a lot of money, but you can do step by step like the ladder and for me have both it's simmetrical fantastic to see and don't need to be gobi all the items like quickfist mount listened, I think have stuff on the side of roofrack expose more damage when overlanding in the forest, trees waiting your error! so if it's mine I will add the "raising kit" from hood to front windshield mount...

Roof top tents look great and I’m sure being off the ground is a positive thing.... But price of them and the racks you need to carry them, is it really worth it? I’m a couple years away from buying a Jeep but not till my diesel truck is done....

[@Casey250]

I think it really depends. A good quick setup tent can go a long way. We aren't going out camping when we go out. We are exploring and adventuring and having the capability to setup for the night anywhere in any condition is a huge asset. We also camp year round in all kinds of weather. Terrain is not usually optimal, last week we camped on a boulder filled beach, we roll in when it's dark out, and I'm setup in 1 or 2 minutes in any weather. There is also a ton of wild life from wolves to bears which being 7ft in the air give you a bit of peace of mind. Lastly and what I consider the most important to me, is getting a good night sleep. It's dry, dark walls, lighting inside, and has a nice mattress. When I head out for several days, it can be long days of wheeling, recovering vehicles, and filming a video and keeping energy up to talk to the camera and get shots (which can be exhausting) and getting good sleep and a place to retreat to for some downtime in the evening is vital for me to make videos on a regular basis. There are some great tent solutions out there and situations I'd consider them just as good, but for me, in this region, and the adventures we go on, this is a game changer for me.

I think you put the wind screen in the wrong place

[@Casey250]

It's exactly as the instructions show. It seemed wrong to me too

[@Nightcall64]

False problem, think you have to buy a Hard top 3 piece and the wind noise wild be not a problem.

[@pboverlanderz1926]

Have you thought about purchasing a hardtop?

[@Casey250]

I have. It's another $3 or 4k

[@pboverlanderz1926]

@@Casey250 damn that's alot for a hardtop. I got lucky when I bought my Jeep. I'm running a Frontrunner Slimline II rack.

[@brandontiner8872]

why don't you get a hard top!

[@Casey250]

They are over $4000 from the dealer and I haven't seen a single used one for sale in 6 months.

Ricky ticky tabby... I have that calendar too

[@SkyBlueOffRoad]

Is this and the story till now, just adverts and promos now days.....i miss the trail vid days....hope to see some soon

[@Casey250]

My channel has always been a mix of both. I get out when I can but I also work a full time day job which limits my ability to travel frequently.

[@TheStoryTillNow]

I've got maybe 10 non trail videos out of 120 or so....

[@buffalobmf]

[@kenhelms9045]

Have you thought since you have the Soft Top, abooot 🤣adding a few Nutserts at the bottom of the Ladder to give you that extra stability 🤔👍🍺... PS Joined to Flex Friday 👍

[@Casey250]

I have not. I'm trying to avoid drilling the body of my jeep as I plan to keep it for another year then start another one.

[@wetcoastwheelin]

Great review. I've been on the hunt for a good roof rack

[@Casey250]

Check out metal cloaks new one they just released

[@wetcoastwheelin]

@@Casey250 yes I've been looks at that one. Mark just put it on his jeep

[@KrazyMitchAdventures]

*note to self* Dont buy (another) JEEP.. Get something easy to accessorize.. like a Corvette on 37's

[@Casey250]

When you do, can I drive it

[@KrazyMitchAdventures]

@@Casey250 Sure.. when I win the lottery

[@baileysv6793]

[@1stw690]

GOBI.. for $3000 you shouldn't need any addon!

[@Casey250]

Your not wrong.

[@AllTerrainNation]

Gobi is a garbage company.. great parts but customer service

[@duoglide69]

😕

[@ourbills9999]

I bought that piece of shit rack. What a waste of good money. Not blaming anyone, I’m the fucking idiot that bought it.

[@RebeccaTiffany1]

Why do you say that?

[@jpack3438]
