Not to hijack, but where did you get your lightbar set-up? Very nice - any details?

I'm curious, are these roof racks 'pseudo permanent' installs, or can you take them on and off at need?

I would love to get one, but probably wouldn't want it as a permanent daily addition to the jeep, nor would I want gaping drill holes in the side of the jeep either.

There are a few companies that do make purely bolt on racks for those people who dont want to drill into their jeep. If you do a search youll find em, me though, I love the MBRP one which is what i'll eventually get unless i find something better for me. I like the idea that when the hard top comes off, the rack comes off too. Chances are, if i dont have the top i dont want to carry crap.

Gobi Rack... No drilling - direct bolt on... Will provide many years of use!

How lengthy is the Gobi install/uninstall? 10 minute thing or couple hours?

The only person I have to help take the top off is the wife, and god knows its hard enough without a gigantic roof rack weighing down on the process.

You have all the points that I am looking in the new roof rack for my Unlimited. Make sure that it is only goes up 'till front freedom panels. Being able to remove freedom panel easily without unbolting any other nuts or bolst.
I've spend a loooot of time researching this topic. The rack you provided link to is great size rack, however, you will need to unbolt the rear of the rack before you'll be able to take off your freedom top. I even send email to Garvin asking them if it is possible to use tracks for the rear portion of this rack they said no, its not possible.
The track rack from the Garvin is another option, and I almost bought it, however, after reviewing many photos and its specks I decided that this rack is too small to feet enough camping staff. And quite honestly it looks as it came from some other much smaller car and slapped on a jeep (IMO).
Your other choice is MBRP, though, I am not that big of fan of this rack either.
The only one that I found that would answer to all of the requirements is Front Runner roof rack, but so far I was not able to find much of the reviews on that rack.

I really like the GOBI rack. However, I'm in Canada, and they don't seem to ship or sell to Canada. I could be wrong, does anyone know? I've researched lots and I haven't found anything that says different.

Any suggestions?

heres mine with wild boar rack. really love it, install wasnt too difficult but if you are looking for a permanent rack, and price wasnt too bad either, check out the wild boar rack.
