**Group Buy: Gobi Racks and accessories**

Does anyone know if the height measurement of a T4R after stealth installed, as listed on the Gobi homepage, is for a Trail or Limited/SR5? The stock height of a Trail is Listed at 74.2, and the Limited/SR5 is 71.5. May seem trivial, but I'm considering a lift that is on sale tomorrow and I only have a few inches of play, but haven't received my rack yet.

The rails are different. Trail stock rails are a little taller than the sr5/limited. You'll be taking those off to install the new rack so the height would be the same.

The rack is 3" front light bar goes to 4.5" for the stealth
 
PEOPLE WITH CUSTOM RIGID MOUNTS

Did your rack come pre-wired? My rack just came in (FINALY) but there is no wiring on the rack at all.
 
Yes, came prewired but I replaced with a heavier gauge we had laying around. If I remember correctly, wires came down both sides inside the tubing to the back.

But was not custom as mine was from the GB.
 
Hope this makes sense but...

Maybe Ride can answer since he is the gobi expert here... But has anyone tried or have you ever seen anyone mod the front fairing on the gobi so that it covers the top tubular Bar/ light bar ? Hope that makes sense... Making the fairing taller, then cutting holes in the fairing where the ridge lights shine through,so they are flush with the fairing so it's one solid piece that looks cleaner?

They would have to make you a longer fairing for it to reach that high. Here is some pictures of Ducmonsta's truck (stolen from his build) of the fairing raised to cover the top tubular bar. He then put his 40"SR under the fairing for a different look.

I found it on Ebay, I was searching through "Toyota emblems" looking for something different for my center caps and came across it.

I bought two :p :naughty:

For other search reference, it looks exactly like the logo they had on the late 90's Land Cruisers (95-99 or so I'm not well versed in the FJ model numbers or anything). Just wanted to pass along in case others are looking for part numbers and want to get it through Toyota.
 
Not at all, I like the first one you linked more than the one I got. Good find!

Now that you mention it I think it was for a Land Cruiser but not sure which year.
 
Got the Stealth mounted today :reddance: This rack is stout! Very well made!

If you're in the market for a top quality rack and you are willing to wait for it then I highly recommend this rack! Very high quality, very well thought out and made in the USA. It's to bad Gobi's customer service sucks so bad or they'd have a monopoly on the rack market.

@RiDE, Thanks again for everything Mark! I'm very happy with the Stealth!





Tomorrow: BudBuilt slider install :thumb3:

looks freakin fantastic man.

love the led bar on the hoopless grille guard. this thing is screaming badass lol.


any front shots?
 
QJake- I'm so happy that it all worked out. The truck looks proper with that rack setup. It has definitely come a long way.

BTW- It seams like Gobi has caught up on the major rush of orders placed before Summer started. The past 3 rack orders I have placed with them have been pretty fast. They still say to give them 6 weeks for production on a stock rack with no modifications. My past few customers have been getting theirs in 4-5 weeks.
 
I posted these in my build thread but some may have not seen it. Here are some pics from a few months back of my Gobi Rack and 4R fully stacked. I don't think i've seen any rack this full on a 5th gen. This is the gear for 6 adults and 1 dog for 5 days of camping. We drove a total of 320 miles with it like this and nothing up there ever moved. The truck and rack handled everything perfectly.

The Gobi rack is easily the best mod i've got on the truck.

^Your rack will be shipping out next week. Took a little bit longer because of the custom work. You'll be really happy with the rack.

btw- Stock Stealth's and Ranger's are usually taking about 4 weeks to ship now. Custom stuff is still about 6-10 weeks.

Got your email! Thanks, and i'm looking forward to it!
 
A few more racks shipped out this week. If you got an email from me then you're one of them.

Racks are shipping out pretty consistently now, 4-6 weeks. No more crazy 9-12 week wait times.
