GOBI Racks - new product group buy

[pumacat24]

Hey [MENTION=8329]MillerPKA[/MENTION] I just submitted my name online for a stealth no rise rack and ladder combo. I am wondering if the sunroof insert is the same as the new modular "floor"? Will we technically be ordering 2-3 sunroof inserts for our floor? Asking because there's a 5th gen sunroof insert for sale locally which would mean I only need to buy 2 from you all instead of 3. Thanks, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! - Cat

Maybe its just me... but I think I would prefer you guys work on the lead time of your current racks(and orders) then pumping out a new group buy for new product. Again.. maybe it is just me.

Agreed. Hands down the WORST lead times I've ever seen and that was pre-covid. Not only was my lead time ridiculous, by the time my rack was supposed to be ready to ship they contacted me and extended it another 6 weeks.

Cancelled.

Gobi racks are fan boy racks. I bought a Prinsu that day and it arrived 4 days later. Now

Not to mention how about Gobi changing out their bolts from bright and shiny to black to actually match the freakin' rack color.

Wow. After waiting for 8 months for my gobi rack and then this comes out a month after i get mine. I wish i would have known. Although I’m still waiting on my backpack to be delivered.

Hey [MENTION=8329]MillerPKA[/MENTION]... any answer to question above? Also... did I make the list for this rack? I have not gotten a call yet. Thanks and Happy New Year!

I understand your job and all... but your lead times have been god-awful long before covid came around. I get that its convenient to blame C19... but this isnt the group to tell us that its raining. Tooting your own horns isnt a great sound... just tell us you know that you had problem before and are working hard to speed up the times.

I'm very candid about what's needing improvement. I only joined last year so I can't comment firsthand prior, but no one is wrong in their complaints on lead times and customer service. I came on specifically to address and improve upon those.

Sorry for the delay! The sunroof insert is a different dimension than the 2 rear floor inserts but the size of the sunroof insert is the same on this open air vs the standard racks. Also, the front and rear floors are slightly different as the front integrates with the rack mounting bracket.

For your case you can buy the sunroof insert and would just need to grab the floor inserts to complete the set!

[MENTION=8329]MillerPKA[/MENTION], thanks for the info! I'll buy the sunroof insert locally. I haven't gotten a call yet, but did I make the list for the rack? I hope so!

[MENTION=8329]MillerPKA[/MENTION], in terms of wind noise, how does this new rack with removable inserts compare to the old version?

1) old vs new with all inserts on
2) old vs new with all inserts off

Any plans on an aluminum version? I prefer basket style racks and would welcome the lighter weight up top.
