Refer to post #1. That's where updates are usually for group buys [emoji106]
You're about 4.5 months to late.
got mine installed today. Thanks [MENTION=119516]jicko[/MENTION] for the GB. Love the rack. I can see a few spots where i thought the welds would be a bit smoother but Im also not a welder so maybe i have unrealistic expectations. None the less I will say I love the rack. Had a few issues with gobi though. My wife called them several times to give updated contact information which they took down, however they never relayed the message. The shipping company had to send a letter in the mail telling me it had arrived. I was out of the country and couldnt be reached, but if gobi had forwarded my wifes info like they said they would, wed have had no issues. I also called them to clarify some information in their instructions and the lady on the phone IMO has no business answering a phone if she cant answer simple questions or forward me to someone who could.

Got the call on Monday, delivered Tuesday and installed it same day. 18 weeks of waiting and finally here. Now I need to find time to put the lights on. It looks naked without them.

I called Gobi yesterday and they said my order will be one of the last ones to ship (this week or next). lol

How many weeks did you have to wait till you got your Gobi rack? Thanks.

well 19 weeks and 1 day total wait time. I can't wait to put it on and I wish I had the cash for a Rigid E2 40" light bar... but being an adult and being in the middle of escrow really sux.
That sounds familiar. I called over a month ago and was told mine would ship that week or next. :/

Finally got the LED light bar installed today:
Lol I couldn't help myself either... I bought a light bar as well. A Rigid Industries Radiance for $450shipped on amazon. I'll try to mount and wire up after I install my rack this tuesday.
I called Gobi again yesterday and was told mine would ship next week, but she couldn't tell me if it would ship early or late next week. I'd like to believe her, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
How did you run the wiring to the battery and into the cab?

I drilled a hole in the roof; used a grommet then silicon. I'm not apposed to putting a hole in the roof if done right.

Which color did you go with? I just finished mounting my radiance and got it mostly wired up (just need to connect the switch for the backlight). Hopefully I can finish it off tomorrow if the kid sleeps early.

Went with the white... I was thinking of wiring up the back light on the Radiance to my head lights. So they're only on when my head lights light up.
I almost finished with my installation. The last part is the gobi ladder. I have an issue mounting the plate onto the top of the tailgate. I know its suppose to be 3-3/8" from the side of the car but i dont think my plate can lay flat without the bend near the end to smash right into the spoiler. Did anyone else have this issue? or am i doing something wrong.Also, what are those 2 extra holes for?

dead tired.. Just got off a 12hr graveyard shift...
got home and slept for 2 hrs and unwrapped this:
I prepared the legs first. made it really loose. And with the help of my 4'11" Wife... I lifted the whole rack; while she guided it onto the roof. We draped a old comforter on top of the roof.
Started to bolt it down and tighten everything ...
bolted the wind deflector
Mounted my Rigid Radiance 40" Light Bar ... still need a wiring harness and switches. bought some switches and they didnt fit. Just need to figure out where to route it ...
