Yep, I just installed it last week. Took 45 minutes, by myself. Very stout. Looks good...What do you need to know?

I have been looking at the various racks and want one that mounts to the frame in the rear. Do you have any images that shows the mounting?

The Gobi rack mounts to the frame in the rear.

It mounts to the frame in the rear or it can be mounted to the body. The kit comes with both options. I don't have a pic right now but I will say it mounted up real easy. It uses factory holes, you have to have an aftermarket bumper that doesn't wrap around the sides.

Does the Gobi work with aftermarket rear bumpers? From the pics it looks like it sits on the bumper.

The Gobi rack mounts to the frame in the rear. It bends in around the rear bumper and will fit with many after-market rear bumpers.

Thanks for the reply. Do you have any detailed pics of how it wraps around the bumper. I really like the rack but want to make sure it will work and not look goofy with my PJ bumper.
