They said I could have the rack for free, (I just couldn't refuse that offer
) so I ended up just paying them $80 to install it on my Jeep. I think it was well worth the $80 considering these racks are quite expensive new.
My dad want's to go hunting with the Jeep now...he say's I could probably put a whole Bull Moose up there.

The rack and basket are all one piece. It's not you typical rack that has cross bars and a basket attached to it. These racks are in my opinion the "best" you can buy! Save you money...$1500! BUT WELL WORTH IT!

That bad boy looks mean. I do like the thick 2" tubes and I kinda miss that about my MBRP. The Gobi is just more practical for me. But I really like the look of your Jeep.

Lots of good pics on here keeping them coming and if possible please put the approx cost of rack ,
Just wondering if anyone has ever tried to put a Jon boat on top of one of these racks, I am sold on the rack I have a small 12' jon that i take fishing but just wondering if I get a rack if it could be mounted or maybe easier with a canoe or 2
Couple pics of a jon boat and my jeep. Think the rack might work joat boat only weighs approx 200lbs
