Rack System For Magiollina Extreme and Gobi Stealth

[RichJacot]

I've posted this over on the fjcruiserforums.com but haven't gotten a definitive answer. Does anyone know if all of these will "go/work together"?

Have:
Gobi Stealth

Picking up:
Thule 450
Maggiolina Extreme
(basically this RTT and Thule were mounted on an FJ Cruiser factory roof rack)

Because of shipping costs I'll be drive about 19hrs to pick this up and I'd like to confirm that it will properly mount to my Gobi Stealth before I get there.

Any information or tips are welcome.

TIA

I just installed a GOBI Stealth on my Jeep last weekend. Great Rack!! I would think that you could install the RTT on the GOBI without the Thule 450 using the crossbars that are part of the rack. Unless you want the extra height that the Thule rack on top of the GOBI would give you. Good luck!! post picks when you get it mounted. I am looking for a RTT now. That looks like a nice RTT solution.

I will post some pics once I have it. However... I don't plan on picking it up until June. It's just too far to make a special trip, shipping is too much also, and we already have a trip planned for within 2hrs of it's locations in June, so June it is.

The friend that has it will store it for me until I can get there, which is Great!

I just want to make sure I can get it back once I get there.

Thanks!

We have a couple of customers who have mounted their Maggiolinas on Gobi Stealth racks using the Gobi top cross bars. Frenchie LaChance did this on his 4D Wrangler (Magg Extreme) and is very happy with the set-up.

I did a google search for "Gobi top cross bars" and didn't find anything really useful. I poked a bit on Gobi's site and didn't fan any cross bars either.

Do you by chance have a link for said cross bars?

This is the Gobi Stealth rack. Notice the two bars across the top about 1/3 distance in from each end. These make good mounting points.
