I have had my Gobi stealth rack for 4 years and am very happy with it. The lead time during the pandemic was not an issue. My rack arrived two weeks before my trip departure date.

Ordered mine on 12/1 They told me 16 weeks. I knew this going in ( cause you told us😉) so it was easy to plan ahead. Gives me time to get my White Knuckle sliders ordered and installed. 2020 is build year for my ‘99 UZJ100. woohoo

My Gobi stealth rack arrived the day I joined overland bound, 10/7/19. Ordered it 6/7/19. Not so bad for a quality product. I spent the following two evenings installing it. I can tell you, a stealth rack on a four door Wrangler is not only extremely handy, it looks great too.

Got my Stealth Gobi Rack a year ago second hand and I have appreciated having it. The low clearance is the only thing I gripe about since it makes attaching things to the rack harder, but I always figure it out, or have my wife help with her small hands and wrist.

I have used the Warrior Products platform since 2013 on my FJ exposed to the Texas sun when is not being traveled on and I cannot say enough good things about the rack...got it in three weeks, has several attachment options and is solid. Is rated for 1100lb of dynamic weight, unfortunately I have had to stop hard with a full loaded rack at high speed and has never gotten loose or failed in any way.

mike, your hodge podge of mounting plates really is not as bad as you think. yes the screws are loose but you dont have to take it to a fab shop to correct the problem. at rivnuts to the rack at the places you have already drilled. the rivnuts use a machine screw and the installation of the rivnut is very simple. look on amazon for a kit. something like 1/4-20 would be perfect. use locktite and lockerwasher/ washer on your hardware so it will resist backing out. i love your content. if your still in the area of livermore, hit me up. im in the santa cruz mtnz.

If I purchase the Gobi Ranger, are there roof top tents that can be placed on it? I know the stealth is probably a better choice, but I like the higher side rails for everyday use.

Ordered my stealth rack just a few weeks ago and like David said it's about a 16 week wait they said. I think now the cross bars might be bolt in but I can't wait to get it in. Are Gobi guys using just standard tie down straps? I have Plano cases I'd like to get tied down.

You can replace the rubber grommets. They are very cheap along with that plastic twist knob. Keep in mind stainless steel bolts should have stainless steel hardware. Or they will rust faster if you don't.

Can you give details on how you wired your lights through the roof? Can you give any insight as to why you chose the Ranger over the Stealth? I can’t decide! I know I am going with the “no rise” option. Both look nice. I’m not going to use a RTT. I am thinking about using some mounts from FrontRunner for gas and water storage. I’m not sure if the higher sides of the Ranger the interfere with that.

Nice review. I just have to disagree that a rack has to be one piece. Your Land Cruiser is made of thousands of parts, and yes, it requires some maintenance to keep them all together over the years. So you’re saying that the Patriot Camper Trailers equipped with extruded aluminum Rhino Racks are going to fall apart? Have you seen how they beat those things up and the places they take them? One thing that I think should be the part of any rack review is the cost of accessories. I own two Rhino Rack Pioneer platforms, and I think the accessories are ridiculously overpriced. Which is why I’ve started fabricating my own. That’s my biggest gripe with the rack. But the ridiculous price tag just comes with the territory. Anything with the words “overland”, “expedition”, or “tactical” in the marketing campaign is usually about 300% overpriced.

Corrie Murguia sure, but I thought it was stated in a pretty assertive manner. Don’t remember the exact phrasing, but something along the lines of “whatever rack you choose, make sure it’s a one piece”. No biggie, I’m just pointing out that I disagree with that statement 😜
