Those racks look pretty sweet. I recently pulled the trigger on a frontrunner. I was mainly just curious to see other setups.

If you don't need a full rack and want a good one that is actually readily available... i just installed a Warrior rack.

Or, if you don't need a full rack, Ruggedized Crossbars...

Drabbits haha have not seen that in a minute! Glad I dodged that bullet.
Check out "OUTGEARSOLUTIONS" on instagram. Joe is a stand up dude and does some great quality work.

If you want something inexpensive, lightweight, easy to take on and off and pretty versitle, look at the Rhino Rack steel mesh platform.
Steel Mesh Platform | Rhino-Rack
I have it and really like it.

I just ordered myself a Prinsu designs 7/8 rack! For half the price of a Gobi, you should check it out! They also make a 3/4 rack and full rack.
Best part of the 7/8 is that you get the "full rack" feel without having to deviate from the OEM mounting spots. All aluminum, so no rust/lightweight and the cross members are simple aluminum pieces of extrusion, so you can basically attach anything to them.
I can't speak to the quality because I don't have it yet, but it is a sister company of CBI, so I'm sure it'll be top notch!
EDIT: I ordered my rack last Wednesday (1/31/18), just received shipping confirmation that it'll arrive to my doorstep on Friday (1/9/18). Talk about quick turnover...you don't see that with a Gobi!
Best of luck in your roof rack hunt!

I got a Rolla that mounted up pretty solid on the included pinch mounts and can be made (with aftermarket hardware) to attach to the stock roof mounts. Cheap and easily sourced (no wait) as well.....

Rhino sells u-bolts that attach to the factory crossbars. I've been considering using heavy duty zip ties for easier off and on. The u-bolts aren't hard, just tedious to unscrew two knobs per corner.

What size rack did you get?
I am think of using the Rola Rack Mount Kit.
03-09 4RNR Rola Rack Mount Kit
But I'm not sure if it will work.
