GOBI Roof Rack *Group Buy* Spring 2015

Have you received your rack yet? (the poll do not allow you to change later)

I've learned not to get my hopes up these past few weeks with Gobi news, but it would sures hell make my week to receive that 'one-day-out' call from the freight company in the coming days (paid on the 4th).
 
Not to rub it in but got the rack and got it installed in under 3 hours. Could have been quicker but I was messing around. This rack is F'ing sweet. Be careful tightening the brackets down to the roof and putting weight onto the top edges above the rear window. I managed to dent this area by putting force down on it with my forearm while tightening the bolts. I also installed my ladder and tried it out and it works very well. Only thing left is to install the gas struts. Sorry no pictures. It was dark when I finished.

Too many "cry wolves".... don't believe ya....

I received my Rigid light bar and rear lights, that's about it. The light bar packaging was the worst I've ever seen, it had been opened and taped back, all the packing was gone, and in general the box looked like it came from Somalia.

Very nice and thanks for the tips! Post pics when you've got 'em! I'm still a ways out if number 7 is just getting theirs!
 
I don't think it goes by who was what number on jicko's list. More like who paid at what time and what type of customization they did to their racks. I paid on the 2nd as well but I also got the removable cross bars, sun roof insert and light bar ready which deletes the 2 smaller bars up front. Someone who orders fixed cross bars and full length mesh would probably jump ahead of me. I figure I waited 11 years to get this rack, whats another week...
 
Agreed, I'm really excited to get my rack but realize there's nothing I can do to expedite it. It's a package deal with group buys: You accept a slight delay with the savings. If I wasn't willing to stay patient I'm pretty sure I could call Gobi, throw lots of money their way and get a rack in a couple weeks.

Oh yeah I was approximating more than anything. I paid on the 12th so I know I'm still a bit away. All good! Look like we ordered the same configuration too.

Yep, true enough. I'm just going to be happy for everyone else who is getting theirs and maybe that will spread some good Karma my way, lol.

You sure it's a real rigid and not a knock off being passed off as real?

You sure that's not a hidden "if that's what you want to do" type of line trap?
 
Let's hope this holds true.

When was your order/pay date and was that email a response to one you sent or an unsolicited update?

Sandra told me two weeks ago that mine was shipping last week, but to date I've heard nothing else.
