First off apologies for no pictures tonight, I tried taking them off the memory card and they were corrupted, so complete installation is gone. I'll do my best of doing a mock up reinstall tomorrow with the pictures.

The install took about an hour and a half. The majority of this was ensuring proper measurements, towards the end I was a little more liberal with placement but its all worked out now. The supplied directions are precise, illustrative and easy to read. After I let the adhesives dry I gave it the full weight yank test with an observer and he noted no movement. I'll break down the setup tomorrow but let me just say the design is ingenious, the weight of being on the ladder plays into the mounts by reinforcing them even more so the added pounds aren't working against the mounts. Pictures tomorrow afternoon sorry for the delay.

Damnit Miller the title of this one killed me, I was hoping to see those pics. Glad the install worked out well. Enjoy!

The Coleman's off for good, the Gobi Stealth Rack will be here next week along with the new Bushwackers so it will be more complete and purposeful. I can't stress how well this is constructed, top quality welds and finish I'll be sure to get some better shots in the daylight.

Looks amazing. Will be excited to get my bajarack ladder for comparison sake ($150). That GOBI rack is going to look sick. If it weren't $1300 i'd have considered it.
