That thing looks awesome. I have been waiting for the GOBI to come out. I emailed them asking when there was going to be one released and they never got back to me. 
It doesnt look like it's on their site though. What was the cost$$ if you dont mind me asking?

I'm not sure I understand how these "catch all" racks work.
Do you just duct tape all your junk onto the top and hope it doesn't blow off on the highway?
Also, does this thing interfere with XM reception/

That looks fantastic! The whole look w/ the blacked out handles and badges is really quite slick.

Looks good. Good to see the racks are starting to show up for the 5th gen. ARB is supposed to release their racks for the 5th Gen in September.
Question:
Can you get mesh in the front instead of the opening for the sunroof? Guess its not a big deal either way, just curious.

What's the point of it going in front of the sunroof? Can you use the front part? Also is the middle higher than the back section?
It looks nice on your rig tho.

It's a great place to put lights.

You use straps, not duck tape, to hold items down. When you correctly secure items, you do not need to "hope" that they do not blow off.
These "catch all racks" are so you can utilize your whole roof to carry items such as: a roof top tent, carry your spare tire up top, carry water and gas, use it as a platform for taking pictures/sleeping, put an axe, shovel and an hi lift up top, 4 extra driving lights in the front and 2 backup lights can be installed, the rack can hold almost 4x as much weight as the factory crossbars.
I have had no problems with XM reception.

Looks terrific, except for one thing. You rig is WAY TOOOO CLEAN! Decked out like that it should have some perma-grub on it. Not tire dressing

You can distribute the weight of a large item across the whole roof. It is also a good place to put lights (the rack has 4 mounting points in the front). If you put thule/yakima crossbars uptop as well, you can fit items across the whole roof. You can also put the mesh floor upfront as well so you have even more floor space to place items.

Great looking rack, IceNomad!
I see you haven't yet come clean on the cost. Based on the pricing of other Gobi racks, I'm guessing your rack put a $1500 dent in your T4R build budget.
Would love to order the Gobi Stealth but the shipping to Canada (about $400!!) kills it for me.

You mentioned, and you can see in the pic, that the front brace does not physically mount to the 4R, just rests in/on the gutter. Is that metal on metal (rack on roof?) If so I would worry about the paint becoming damaged, then possibly rusting in a salty environment. Just curious....
