Gobi rack accessories? Best value?
Just ordered a Gobi stealth from Trail Duty, what if any accessories are worth the price?
I'm thinking a awing with led camping light? Any suggestions would be welcome.
Btw- I searched and found limited info.
Thanks

Bump- no opinions? Next time I'll post about how Baka racks suck and I chose a gobi stealth instead.

get the accessories that will support what you do with your vehicle.... very subjective kinda like the rack itself..... most people that put a rack on their rig do it cause it looks cool

Droppin wisdom.
If I had a rack, I would just get an awning.

1. Lightbar in the front
2. Rangler net
3. low profile case/storage box
4. Brackets for things (awning, hilift, shovel)
5. Led lights all around the rack
6. Sunroof insert (if you have a cutout)
7. Roof Tent
8. Etc.
Not in any order, but those are some options for you.

What this guy said, If you bought the rack for a reason other then looking cool get the accessory that supports that reason. If not, then get the accessory that looks coolest.

Has anyone read or heard about anyone stealing lights? With the cost of some of these lights I was wondering...

They're called security bolts.

I got rack mostly to put stuff up there like kayak, canoes, skybox, bikes, dead deer, coolers, pelican cases, and any thing else I would use in the wilderness. I also got the rack because it looks cool and is very functional. I guess my question come down to what people like about their rack and what people would do differently.

If you're getting the ladder you will eventually need new lift gate struts. These are a cheaper option to Gobi's. SOcalTrail's 2011 Trail Edition Beast Build Thread

agreed.
Ordered a GOBI stealth rack with a light bar, rear 6" lights and side passenger 10" light mounts. Call GOBI to special order your rack and order it to how you expect you'll use it or how you want it in the future. Because once you receive it, it can't be customized (speaking of which, I may call to have those brackets added).

I have been considering the Gobi low storage box, but wish it was a little larger.
I may end up building one. Love to know if it works for people and are you able to carry what you feel you need?
Chains, straps etc.
