Default Gobi or WildBoar Roof rack?

Does anyone on here have a Wild Boar Roof Rack? I found a guy clearing out inventory And is selling the full open up style for $600 brand new. Draw back is drilling holes in the rear fenders.
Pro's = LOW PRICE full size roof rack.

I've seen the Gobi rack and love it but $1200-1500 is ridiculous!

I'm looking to hear from anyone that has a Wild Boar rack that has anything pos or neg to say about it.
Ok, any opinions are welcomed.
Just need feed back.

I really like mine and get lots of compliments on it. $600 is an awesome price for a Wild Boar rack and I think you would be crazy not to go for it.

Have u noticed any load limitations?
How about noise? Is it noisy as hell on the road?

I'm probably gonna end up getting it, I just need a little motivation. LoL

It can hold quite a lot of stuff up there. There are lots of tie down points on all sides that I don't see with the Gobi. No road noise that I've noticed. I've had it for about two years.

Answer the other question, its a custom shop here in Houston, Tx. He only has two left. One stationary(fixed) and one that lifts open. If ur interested I might could ask him for shipping to ur ZIP. However, his ad states local pickup only so maybe not.

Default Gobi

I just ordered a gobo stealth rack today. It is pricey but no drilling required. I ordered from Trail Duty. I don't think they are a supporting vendor but supplied ladder, wind deflector. Shipping and one other accessory of choice for free. I'll keep you posted on progress

Just ordered a Gobi stealth from northridge. That's a crazy good price for the wild boar though!

All mine. One really big card board box full of excitement just sitting in the garage.
One email to wild boar and some patience and I'm good to go.
I'll post pics once its finally installed.
