Hi guys

kind of a two part question.. I tried searching however maybe I'm just bad at it.

Looking at getting a rack and maybe doing a RTT, but I'd really like to have a ladder.

I've seen Gobi makes a ladder... does anyone else make one?

also can you use the gobi ladder with anyother rack? like maybe a baja rack? or front runner?

Yes you can use the go I with just about any rack, also there's 2 ladders. One that is shaped to over the rear hatch spoiler and one without a spoiler that is straight up and down.
Baka rack makes a ladder, you could also use a FJ ladder as well.
 
I have the baja ladder with a WMW rack.... Nice solid install.....

What do you mean about the FJ ladder? Did some FJ cruisers come factory with ladders?

:bump:

So it may be that things changed since this is old (I'm hoping it didn't though)
I have the limited trim, with no rear spoiler. Gobi does offer two different ladders for the 4th gen but they both say with a spoiler

With Spoiler - No Riser
With Spoiler - With Riser

So is it just bad marketing and the "With Spoiler - No Riser" is really for no spoiler? or is it bc I recall something about their being different spoilers from the factory?

Given GOBI's price and lead times, and rumoured bad customer service, I'd rather buy a ladder from somewhere else, but I don't know of any other viable options for us 4th gens that are still being sold.... I'm open to ideas

No, there should be a 3rd option with no spoiler. There are two versions of a spoiler for 4th gens. One with a hump on top and one without the hump.
 
Thanks for the input [MENTION=91508]wkeryder4[/MENTION] ! It seems that there's only two options, the ones I linked to in the PP, on Gobi's site. So maybe they discontinued it?

I'll try contacting them, lets see how long it takes to hear back though
 
I put a Gobi ladder on order around Thanksgiving with their Black Friday coupon (for use with my Prinsu rack). They called me to confirm details and officially submit the order 11/27. I was given a lead time of 8-12 weeks and received shipment notification this past Friday 1/18 after just a bit shy of 8 weeks. If you want one, I'd order it ASAP since it'll probably be 2 months before you get it. They don't charge until they ship either
 
recent experiences with gobi

Hi, I am considering a gobi ladder for my 4th gen. I have the spoiler but no hump. Does anyone here have recent experience in dealing with them and their timelines?
 
Victory 4x4 also makes a ladder for the 4th gen T4R. Looks like it mounts entirely on the hatch so it should be installable, with any rack (Prinsu should work fine since their rack looks like abersion of that design).
