Gobi Stealth Roof Rack

[Yukon Joe]

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.

Nice rack. I seriously thought about going this route too. But I don't think it would make it into my garage. I ended up building a rack from an atv ramp that goes over my bakflip. But there's only 4 bolts to remove. Only problem is the bakflip can't open with it on (tailgate still works fine). But I don't have it one there most of the time, only when I need it. And it's light enough for me to put on by myself.

I went ahead and posted them in a new thread. http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f11/atv-ramp-cargo-rack-42232/#post864081 No need to muddy up the OP's thread here with my nonsense.

What size light bar did you use for the rack? And do you know the width of the rack in the front? I'm having a hard time finding the right size bar for mine. I need about a 45-46" before I start poking out the sides. I ordered some of the 6.7" light cannons and mocked them on my rack and hated the look so I'm going to try a bar now instead.

Do you have any close up pics of how it is mounted? I am close to pulling the trigger on one of these

I'm so glad my garage door height limits my height, or I'd get one ASAP.
