Re: GOBI Racks Rock!!
I know that usually gobi is a no drill install but I can see the foot that is farthest forward rests on the plastic and not on the rails. Do you have to drill any of the vehicle to mount the rack or ladder?

No drilling.
In front of the rail, there is a whole with a fctory bolt that hold the plastic roof chanel in place. There's a welded in nut to the frame. GOBI uses a nylon spacer and than the bracket to attch to the rack. WORKS GREAT!!!!

Re: GOBI Racks Rock!!
no drilling but I would recommend more than 2 people to lift the rack... My brother and I lifted it and it was a bit scary... I had to put scaffolding across the hood so that we could get it up on the roof... I would say 4 people would be the optimal number but 2 normal size guys can handle it... and I know it says 500lbs is the max weight but it can handle allot more... The rack is a bit pricey but it's worth IT!!! If any body has any contacts for off-roading lights I'm all ears... I just don't want to drop 600+ dollars on lights...

You could always use the HELLA FF75 lights. THey fit and are cheap vs the $700 for PIAA lights. IMO, the PIAA are a higher quality light, but if you are just wanting them for occasional use, the Hella's are just fine.

I bought some Hella 75's for my gobi rack, driving for the front, floods for the back. They are much more affordable than the PIAA'S and unless you really need the light all the time...
I still need to install mine.

Re: GOBI Racks Rock!!
Yup... I am also looking at lights for it but I think I decided I'll just make a temporary mount for my 15million candle power spot light... Off road lights are really expensive...

Re: GOBI Racks Rock!!
Looks good. I completely agree with putting it on being a bit scary. When we put mine on the h2 i felt that way. Hardest part to me was getting the tire on the roof. Lights will make it look great, Doesnt look like you have room to fit circle lights.

Re: GOBI Racks Rock!!
PA-H3,
Is that a rubber seal at the base of the wind deflector at the very front edge? Is that custom or part of the Gobi install?

Yes it is... It is a GOBI install... when you mount the rack you need to push on the plastic piece so that it contours your roof... and when I say plastic it's not flimsey one bit... it is about a 1/8'' or thicker and takes a bit to flex it...

Re: GOBI Racks Rock!!
nice rack - I don't want one since I have no need for rack, but if I would this would probably be the one to go with. Looks sturdy - perfect match for H3!
