Hey Folks,
Just thought I would give a quick first impression of my gobi Recon rack.
Good-
Great quality rack, well put together with quality hardware and great fit
Lots of instructions
Well packaged
Not obtrusive and no wind noise
Solid enough to stand on
Easy to mount with all the supplied hardware. Only factory bolt that was used was one bumper nut.
Bad-
-Screwed up my shipping info and instead of getting in touch waited an addition 2 weeks to ship until I contacted them and the retail distributor..TRAILDUTY
-Pinches rear body panel on install may cause rust in the future
- Gobi customer service is abysmal as I also ordered quick connects as well but did not receive. they will not respond. TRAILDUTY is doing the same thing
-Instructions leave some stuff out, and leave you scratching your head at times.
- one part involves leaving the top part of the rack vertically on a 41" table while attaching the hardware to the rear. Not possible alone so I simply just put the rack on the roof and attached it from there...much simpler.
- Will be fun to lose the hardtop in the spring with the rack in the way.
