Aren’t most of those fancy roof top tents made in China anyway?? Dick move from Gobi to sue the little guy, I’ll never buy anything from them just based on the experiences some on here have had.

I agree - I don't think here would be an issue with the build/materials for what it is used for. My issue is the price point isn't very competitive compared to something you can buy made in the states (maybe even the same state you're in) for less... plus if you can get a group of 10 or more you can order them off alibaba for about $350.. I reached out at one point and they were willing to do minimum orders of 5 racks + shipping - ended up being approximately $550 to Colorado.

$550 shipped is a tempting price

If you look at the pictures there are two different racks. One is a Gobi like rack and one is an ARB like rack. You'd have to figure out which one it actually is

Exactly why I haven't tried very hard to get a group together on those!

Looks like there is another seller without the knock off ARB rack pictured

And they sell them by the individual unit! I'd be curious to see what they want for shipping. Looks like you'd want to order this for mounting it up. TOYOTA 4RUNNER TRANSFER KIT - GOBI Racks

That one is listed as being made from aluminum and is described as being used for decoration and to carry luggage. If you're putting it on to look cool and maybe haul around some basic gear it might be OK. I wouldn't put a RTT or large load up there. They show a guy standing on it, but he could be 135lb for all we know.

I wouldn’t trust any description on any of these links in this thread. If I were to order from any one of them, I would know that I would be risking my credit card info floating around in the black market and possibly having to do a charge back on my credit card. Don’t get me wrong, the price is very attractive but I would like to see if anyone else would be willing to order and review it first.

Some may care about US steel, but if the price is low enough, most won't.

They also offer customized logo and the color balck.
I wonder if they will make a Gobi logo. I would try it for $350
