The way they bolt to the hard top makes it look like they came from the factory.
But I made my decision and I'm pulling the trigger and ordering the Gobi rack... just waiting for my check to clear.

Lone Wolf, I am thinking of doing the same, do you think that with a stock suspension that there is much of an issue with roll or sway? 150 pounds up on top with 2 fiberglass kayaks (about 45 pounds each) thats an additional 240 pounds. Im wondering if I need to get some stiffer shocks. I have a stock JK Wrangler 4 dr. Any one else with some input? Dont mean to take over your thread...

Alright got some good/bad news. Bad news is that I cancelled my order. Good news is that I'm putting that money towards other things such as a 2.5" Teraflex coil lift kit, a Poison Spyder evap canister skid plate, and other essentials for offroading!

No issues at all! I did my research and IMHO the Gobi roofrack without a doubt is the best roof rack out there. The only reason I canceled was b/c I was going to put the money toward other parts such as a lift kit, armor and some other dress up items. I ride the beginner/ intermediate trails in Raush Creek, PA and don't really need a roof rack yet. I was putting my money into something I didn't need just yet b/c I don't go camping (yet) or have a kayak (yet) haha. So that's my reason for canceling. For the price you get a roof rack, a free ladder and a free windscreen How can you beat that?!?

Are there any roof racks out there that will allow me to use my sun rider while still keeping the rack on my jeep? For the money I know that Gobi is the most expensive one out there, but from what I've seen, it was the best.
I have a 2010 2dr Rubicon with a soft top btw.
