You guys were right - Gobi is the way to go. I tried EVERY other alternative and could not get what I wanted. They are pricey, but I ordered it today. I tried buying from both Trail-Duty and direct from Gobi- after MANY phone calls, I finally orereded it through Trail Duty. Prices were weird. One Gobi site ( http://www.gobiracks.com)lists the rack at about $2500. http://www.gobiusa has it for about $2300!! TrailDuty finally matched the lowest Gobi prices, and it is being sent out tomorrow. Jeez! What an ordeal! But I can't wait to get it.
Thanks for the advice and input. There was a true concensus for the Gobi rack. Now if only you could all agree on what the best winch set up is.....

Awesome Sean, all you need is a winch, and some black rims...you would have my h2 dream truck. You may want to get some lights on that rack eventually. I would suggest going with the basic, 9k warn winch, then you can wire it to go either in the front or back. Its not very "stealth," but very functional.

A definite yes on the lights...but see the post right below yours? LOL I'm strapped! The lights are on my Christmas list.
As for the black rims...yep. They're next.....
You like the multi-mount winch, huh? But I soooooooooooooo like the built-in like on your H1! I am conflicted.

Yeah, me too. BUT - once you look at what else is out there, they really are the only game in town for the H2.

Question...once I get the rack, the CB is next. Best way to run the wire for the antennae out to where it'll be mounted on the rack?
HELP?

True - I was going to have one made by a shop here (back rack for the SUT) but I will probably go with a Gobi at some point.

Sean- You may want to go with a handheld CB from radio shack, nothing special but it would accomplish the job. In the long run I would put in a permanent one, but having both is awesome when your spotting someone. I'm buying a handheld one here tomorrow, if you dont have it before the weekend you can use mine.

I almost bought a hand-held yesterday - but I know I'd forget to bring it like I did the FRS radios last time. I want one mounted in the truck so I CAN'T forget it....

Oh my God. That looks just like the one I had in my CJ twenty years ago! Thanks, but I think I'll have to get a Warn.
