Gobi rack delays

Nice, I got all three as well. Only the gas struts were on backorder for me though.

 

I didn’t really care much for the travel stuff, but the shocks i wanted. My current gobi ladder weighs down my stock shocks. So when try to open the back, I pull up on the ladder

 

Have you unboxed and installed yet?

This thread is worthless without pics haha.

 

Been busy at work during the day and then family and workouts at night. I plan to install it Saturday. If I open the box now, it may clutter the garage and I won’t be a able to access my other rack. The other side of the garage has a parked car

 

Did you install yet ?

 

Really like your limited. My rack just came in too. Shop is installing it tomorrow. Gas shock are back ordered

 

Post pics when it’s done

 

Not yet. Planning to install it tomorrow.

 

Did you install it yet? It's Saturday.

 

First things first, I’m getting a hair cut. It’s been two months

 

It’s started. But I’m going wax the top one last time before gobi is installed

 

I want to do clear vinyl wrap on the roof before my installation, but i know I won't.

 

Yes I wish I did, perhaps later. For now .. wax will do

 

looks like that’s when people’s Rona checks hit the bank accounts.

 

I ordered a Victory full rack on the 17th. It’ll be here Monday 2/1. Great rack (that’s what she said).

 

Damn it!

I'm at the ass end of that clusterfvck then.

Ordered August 31st.

 

Is the Gobi rack really that good or is it just the name people are after? The Victory 4x4 rack looks very similar and has really good reviews. The front runner and Westcott racks have great reviews as well. Why support a company that continually does this? American or not.

 

It’s on!

 

Nice .. rack and ladder .. that was quick. I just got finished removing trd pro rack, cleaning the rails, clay bar roof and 4 coats of wax.

lunch time

 

Yeah... I didn’t bother washing/waxing beforehand.

 

Gobi racks are different than the ones you mention. The Gobi's are more of a basket style rack as opposed to the others which are flat racks. Just depends on how you intend to use it.

 

Took about 4 hours from start to finish. I did it by myself though, other than getting a buddy to help lift the rack up onto the roof.

 

I definitely did not buy it for the name (honestly will likely take the big “Gobi” sticker off of the fairing). I liked the fact that it was a single piece as opposed to bolt together, and the fact that I can walk up on it or set up a chair and a telescope on it.

 

Yeah I’m waiting for friends to help me lift the rack onto the brackets atm

 

i chose gobi because of the tubular design

 

I prefer the wind deflector without the Gobi logo showing. Just flipped it over to the blank side. No need to take off the decal.

 

How long did that haircut take?

I still don't see any pics of a newly installed rack on your roof.

 

Ohh rack is on, one buddy showed up like 10pm to help me lift it up. Attached all the bolts. I just need to add the wind deflector. Buddies came and drank and bbq instead

Plan to work on it today after some honey do’s

 

Nicely done!

Looks fantastic!

Did you add any sealant around the bolt holes?
