Do you know if they updated that to work with the bigger windows in the newer hardtops (2011+ I think).
Last I checked, they had not.

There is a late model 2011+ plus MBRP/Off Camber version available now. http://www.quadratec.com/products/12331_0006_07.htm For some reason or another Quadratec has the 2011+ version listed under MBRP and the 07-10 under Off Camber. The light bar and extension are listed under Off Camber for the 2007-2014...
I owned a GOBI on my last truck and I honestly don't know if I would do it again as mine was rusting from the inside out and the coating was crap. For that kind of money, I expected better. If you are considering the Rugged Ridge snorkel as a future mod, keep in mind that only the GOBI, Body Armor, and Rugged Ridge racks will fit if you run the high mount. I initially liked the Body Armor rack until I saw it in person, it has quite a bit of separation from the body in every dimension.
Personally, I am looking at the Rugged Ridge Sherpa Rack which is just a slightly massaged version of the Kongo Kage. I intend to have a custom basket fabbed up that suits my needs rather than dealing with some of the limited, one-size-fits-most options available.

How tall is your jeep from ground to the very top of the rack that being the front part for the lights?
I have 35s and a 2.5" lift. And I'm at like 74" from ground to roof. I have bumpers and winch so I'm drooping a bit from weight. I think I have 84" total to work with. Obviously I'd only put the RTT on when I'd be going out to camp and I can keep the jeep outside.

81" exactly and I take the RTT and Awning off during winter months so it fits in my 84" tall garage door

I have the Gobi with an ARB Simpson 3c, and an ARB awning. The rack is rock solid, and I like that it incorporates a ladder, and additional storage in front of the tent area. I really like the aesthetics of the AEV rack, and its great for a tent also, but I like that I didn't have to drill holes in a hardtop, and I wish it made use of the whole roof area for more storage.

I really like the look of the Gobi. If I actually wanted to load up a rack, then that would probably be my first choice. However as I don't really ever plan on loading it up, the MRBP would probably be better suited for me. The only disadvantage is you lose it when you go to the soft top - which I typically run all summer long.
My ideal setup is the MBRP on the rear, and a KMA light bar with tabs to attach load bars from the MBRP rack to the light bar - when needed (RTT, basket, etc).

I used the Gobi attachments meant specifically for the ARB awning. Fits perfectly, and its really solid.
