The Freight Company will contact you prior to the delivery to make arrangements with you

If you need information please e-mail [email protected] make sure to included your ORDER number and your First and Last Name.



- Thank you all for participating!!

- Please update the group if you receive your shipment notice, as well as post some pictures when you receive your rack.

- Post some tips for installations and DEFINITELY the post-install pic of your whole rig!

- Some local installation parties probably warranted (we will do one here in San Diego).

---------------------------

I am excited! I've secured a great deal for us.

Prices of GOBI racks had just gone up, but since we had been trying to arrange this for a while, I am able to still secure a deal based on expired pricing. Its $-- more than Trail Duty's past deal (current prices had went up, not going to see a $---- anymore), BUT we are actually getting at least $--- worth more (additional free accessory) out of this GB.

Its definitely worth the effort and wait!!

Let's assumed it is 100% payment up front (creditcard to a reputable distributor; and your CC company will protect you too).
* I believed that sales tax will not be collected unless you are in TX *

Ok guys, let me try to explain these "details" in an illustration.

1) You should determine whether you want the "sun roof opening" or not, if you select to have the "sun roof opening", the RED area will be open. You may want to order the "sun roof insert" (as an free accessory) in order to cover it when you want more rack space. If you select "no sun roof opening", the RED area will be covered with full mesh, you will have no need/use for the "sun roof insert" (so don't order it). This additional mesh is free with this group buy when you order with "no sun roof opening". If you don't have a sun roof on your car, you probably would not want to get the "sun roof opening".

2) If you pick "removable" cross bar, the 2 openings that the BLUE arrow is pointing to will be covered by mesh. If you select "permanent" cross bar (which I believed are stronger), those area will be "opened" like how you see in the picture here.

3) If you pick "40in light bar ready", the 2 vertical bars circled in GREEN will be omitted, so a 40in Rigid E or SR will fit nicely there (some other brands should too)

(this particular rack is NOT for gen5 4runners, so don't be alerted to see the mesh at the shark-fin location; that mesh will not be there for the gen5 4runners')

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

That's actually a good price especially coming with a free accessory. I was about to order mine this week separately but may wait on this. How many do we need to pay to get this deal?

If you are interested, get your name on the list. According to my other thread, we should have enough interest to treat this as a GO.

Please add me to the list. [Pkg 1, 2011 with sunroof, Stealth, Sunroof insert, removable cross bars, 40" curved light bar ready]

What kind of pricing can you do if A) I already have a ladder and B) I live in Denver and can pick it up myself so don't need shipping.

I called Trail Duty in November and they said they could do it for $1175 installed...im guessing it will be $1275 now

We will be doing the above packages first, I will try to find out how much will it be in your particular situation when I have a chance.

But if you thinking about it, if you get pkg1 (and consider $1449 - $1275 = $174), I am pretty sure that we will find someone who will pay $174 or $200 shipped for your new pkg1 ladder around here. Then you will get the rack plus your additional accessory.

Yo I've been looking at getting a ladder so if you don't want yours from the package ill gladly grab it off of you! [MENTION=109144]RCFJ[/MENTION] or anyone interested in getting rid of their ladder shoot me a PM if you're interested. Good luck with the group buy guys!

Just a heads up, i got a 4th gen with the bigger spoiler

 

[Moto69Joe]

I'll let you know

 

[Griff 05]

How will payment be handled? I.e. half upfront and half on ship date? And when do you need money by? I'll be our of the country from 2/27-3/20...

 

[Bonyfattony]

Just curious, will we be charged tax as well? And, is there a discount for additional accessories?

Put me down anyways.

Sorry, I do not yet have that info. I will NOT be handling payments, the ordering is likely to be handled directly with Gobi or a designated distributor; it will be a commercial entity so it will be safe.

 

[Bonyfattony]

Riser spoiler is the rear spoiler with a hump.

If we have any request for modification to the roof rack, should we list it here too? Such as no cross bars or room for 40" led bar? Or do we do that when ordering?

[hearno]

does this include the wind deflector or would that be my one accessory?

Wind Deflector should be included.

Question for owners of this roof rack: How many inches did it increase in height vs. the standard stock roof rails?

I need to know this since the parking structure at work has a fairly low clearance and I already have a 3" toytech lift and beefy tires

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

The "Stealth" version adds 7" to your roof (not the OEM rails). It is was designed to clear standard 7ft residential garages.

One of the members measured around 80" (gobi + 3" lift): http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-g...lift-tires-gobi-stealth-rack.html#post1232515

 

[hendooman]

The ranger is right at about 9" off the roof at its tallest point in front.

I called Gobi and got some answers for you cavemen:

1. Cross bars - you can order permanent or removable. No extra cost.
2. If the bars are removable the mesh floor will be fully covered. No extra cost.
3. Fairing is included - No extra cost
4. Payment is handled by the designated distributor (Sandra said Trail Duty) so it is up to them if they want half up front/half when it shipped, 100% up front etc.... Call them and ask.
5. Roof Rack - Ladder - Fairing - Free Shipping are all in the price of $1449.
6. The extra freebee is your choice of Choice of (1) Mount/Accessory (Sun roof insert or Ax/Shovel attachment or High lift jack attachment or Rear Gas Springs or ARB Awning brackets or GOBI Tool box
7. There are already (2) tabs built into the rear of the rack
