Don't have the magnolia, but I use the ARB Simpson III up there. It is very stable on the Gobi and easy to set up. I went this route because it can be used with an annex, and I have 2 cots down there. This way, our family of 4 plus dog can sleep comfortably. I have lights on the stealth bar and work lights on the rear bar with dual ladders and no interference. Just added the Gobi sunroof insert and mounted Rotopaks there, but there is room for more in this area. If you are concerned about storage, a trailer is a great addition. I carry all kinds of crap in mine, leaving the back of the Jeep open for the dog while driving.

Thanks for the pics.....set-up looks great
Saw your posts from early September on the other thread and was wondering how long delivery took once you placed the order.

I ordered November 1st of 2011. They were just about ready to deliver it by Christmas, but I was going out of town so I had it held until the 1st week of January. So ostensibly it took about 8 weeks, and that was with them ordering it all the way from Italy to their place in Arizona and then shipping it to me.

That looks great!
I have a hard top as well, but it's currently hanging from a hoist 2500 miles away from where I'm living now. Not sure how I'll ever get it back on. I'm wondering if I'll be able to raise the Gobi to take the soft top up and down like I used to be able to do prior to the tent being up there. It's going to be a whole new ball game now.

Thank you for the complement! I can sleep 3 but with two there is sufficient room to move around more. They come in three sizes, small, medium and large. What I have is the small. To be truthfully, there are time I completely forget that it's even up there. I've never had a problem on technical trails with it up there.
