Like I said last night, the Gobi rack is very nice and definately looks tailor made for the H3. At the same time, the Thule rack that H3 Hummer has also fits the personallity of the H3 really well. Its got a rough chiseled look to it while the Gobi looks like it was painstakingly carved.
Which looks better? I'm not sure yet.

I don't even notice it up there. When the sunroof is open it is a little louder, but not by much. Also there is no wind at all that comes through the sunroof.

I don't notice any wind on my Thule rack but in my opinion it isn't half as nice as the Gobi. Than again it was only about $250.00. The Thule is a lot taller and I can barely I mean barely fit into my garage (less than an inch).
I think I am 82 inches with the Thule on top - so every time I go somewhere for underground parking I worry.

Maybe the Gobi is taller than I thought it was. Especially with those sweet lights up front.

I do not see crossbows. Can we have the rack and keep the crossbows?

the stealth rack sits at just about 80" on the off road package. You have to take off the crossbows to mount the rack. With the steel mesh for a floor and bars inside the rack, you can mount Yakima or THule stuff in there and climb up there and stand on it if you need to. I shoul dhave the ladder mounted in the next week or two. That will make getting up there a lot easier.

BTW, how much of a bear is it to take it off, and how much does it weigh? I would remove it to thoroughly clean and wax the roof twice a year.

Two people can take it on and off, but once you wire the light in, it becomes more of a time issue. Once a year wax I think would be OK. I spray it every time I wash it an it seems to be OK. This is out third GOBI rack (3rd HUMMER with one on it) and no issues to date. The wax seeems to old up OK.
