Gobi Stealth Roof Rack

I posted this in my build thread but I figured it would be a good idea to post this here too.

First, big thanks to Gordon for helping me install this thing.

Ok, I got a Gobi Rack. They haven't quit released them yet but I'd seen a photo on facebook with a rack on a Raptor that looked like one of theirs. I messaged them and in fact they were developing one for the F150. 5 months later it showed up haha. I can't complain though. The workmanship is amazing and even came prewired through the tubing of the rack.




The install didn't go as smoothly as it should have. They use jack nuts but we ended up abandoning them for nutserts. Once we did that things went much better until I stripped one of them, doh! I think Gordon wanted to slap me when I did that haha. He's a very methodical, read the instructions kind of guy. I'm a trial and error, don't worry things will work out kind of guy so I can get on his nerves sometimes.

Anyhow, we wrapped it up and I'm pleased with result. It does come with a wind faring for the front but since I already have a 50" I decided to keep it and the faring does work with it there.

Here are some pics from the trip I took shortly after install.

How is the wind noise?

No change over my 50" light bar. My 50 does make some noise but nothing bad. I have no sunroof which I've been told helps with noise.

The rack does come with a wind fairing which I can't use due to the 50. I suspect the noise would be less and barely noticeable. I'm considering pulling the 50 and seeing if I like the look better without the 50.

Here's a pick of a 4runner with the fairing so you get the idea.

I've seen this Raptor around facebook and I love the look of the Gobi Rack. I messaged them but didnt hear anything back.

That is nice!

I'd try giving them a call. Generally, smaller companies tend to be bad over email. They were pretty responsive when I dealt with them.

Thank you kind sir!

Best looking roof rack I've seen.


Drilling holes in the roof, **** that though!

Nice looking rack!

Sweet looking rack! Right along with what I wanted to do but as previous comment, was unwilling to drill through roof.

Went with Rhino rack VA bars and SR Basket. Wind farring keeps noise down amazing well. Once I add front lights, I am sure that will change.

Where did you run power connection to basket?
