Default Bumper & roof rack compatibility

Looking at Gobi roof rack for my JKU:
1) Is the mounting compatible with PS rear bumper?
2) Whats the difference between the stealth and Ranger models ?
THX for your insight.

Ranger model has the light bar "hoop" about 6" high. The stealth is more streamlined and sticks up half as high. The ranger will offer some protection of you go with a larger round light in the rack whereas the stealth is best with small rectangular lights. Ranger: Click image for larger version

I personally went with stealth. Fits parking garages better. Though I still can't park in my office garage....but that's okay, they allow me to park right in front in the 1hr visitor parking.

For the most part, only a couple full width bumpers won't work/ need modified to work..

Yup, long wait. Their attention to detail is impressive. What you think are spot welds holding the flooring is actually on purpose. It helps give/provide a more thorough powder coating. If the mesh steel flooring were welded directly, makes it more difficult to powder coat with adequate coverage which can lead to rust. When we've gone to CO we normally pull a trailer...this year no trailer was needed....- and yes, I am related to the Griswalds. Click image for larger version
