Roof Rack Delivery & Installation :whoo:
It is a very tight fit but thanks to the custom spacing done by Gobi, its the ideal setup for my needs.
Enjoy the pics.
Tight fitment, I better not gain any weight. wont be able to get the tent off!
All together and awning room on
Closed up the next day. Ready to camp!
- New Gobi Stealth roof rack with the follow features
- Cross bars for roof top tent had to be at the perfect distance for weigh distribution and installation.
- To make installation easier, I opted out on expanded metal below the cross bars. (see later picture)
- Rear Ladder I LOVE THIS THING.
- And the ARB Awning mounts for my tepui Awning (these required some basic filing for the awning to fit.

Id suggest some research over at expedition portal, but as long as youve got a buddy to help out. its all about convenience. No longer do i need to find a flat spot to Camp in the sierras, it easier on getting the GF to come camping with me, away from night creatures, and just pretty badass.
I only recommend them to people who plan to keep them on their rig tho. too much effort involved in taking them on and off.

Recent Memorial Park Camping pics, the setup was great! Especially for eating lunch with pesky wasps around :twitch:
All packed up and ready for the next trip. Hopefully to something less civilized next time.

Installation:Metal Tech Lower Links and Sway Bar Links :whoo:
Man oh man these links are BEEFY. Thanks to LT at metal tech for such a good product!
Also, a big thanks to @%1;Mstudt for the Rear Sway Bar quick disconnect links Here is the link to his product thread.
My only concern will be trying to line up the little pin and reconnect the sway bar when we are on the trail.
Also, once I disconnect the link, I'll still have pieces of hardware moving around....
Maybe I can remove certain parts of the link when I undo the pin and just leave the hard connections? I guess i'll just have to wait and see. :becky:
They installed pretty easily and get the job done- truck feels a lot more "sporty" now. Especially after driving it for 5 months without a rear swaybar
Total install time was about 2 hours. -Not bad.
Enjoy the pics. :roll:
For my next mod....I found ripped CV Boots! :ybrick:

Two problems with disconnected sway bar. First, as you pointed out parts floating around back there. I was thinking if you were to drill a hole in the bolt where the nut goes and then slide a pin in there so it comes off easily, less to flop around.Installation:Metal Tech Lower Links and Sway Bar Links:whoo:

Second, if the sway bar is unhooked then you need to tie it up as when you flex it hits your shiny new control arms. Sounds horrible but it never really did any damage to mine.
If you tie it up to the frame, now you're connected again. So it defeats the purpose. I couldn't find any way to tie it so it doesn't bind when flexing.
Edit: Oh, he has double disconnects. Did you get those? If not, easy to convert. Still have issue with sway bar flopping around though.

Adam, your ride looks fantastic. I followed your gen2 build and loved it.
I know what you mean by the SB links floating, as I don't have them and considered the front. Same concerns I had about reconnecting them. Might decide to bump up to 886 coils and leave the bar off myself.
FYI.... Jon has been doing some snow runs/playing up in Bowman Lake area frequently. He posts up on FB. I have a few repairs to do, so not running them for awhile.
Just ignore [MENTION=101553]t-man[/MENTION] he's just to high strung and doesn't slow down to read things.:behindsofa:
