The Roof Rack List (JL / JLU Wrangler)

[72commando]

Ordered my Gobi Stealth Rack today - 16-18 weeks until delivery. That's a long time but I really like the low profile look and easy bolt on/ no drilling installation.

Ouch that's a long lead. I guess the chances of me finding a RTT compatible rack before June are getting really slim.

No Pioneer Platform with Rhino-Rack Backbone System?

That's what I'm waiting for to put on my 2 door. 220lb static load and low profile.

How much height does it add?

Oh wait that looks like hardtop only.

How could I put a surfboard on the Gobi?

Hard top only as it drills into it to gain strength from the tub. Dunno how much height it will add yet, but it's lower than the stock rack. :D

There's a stock rack for the JK? I didn't see one for the JL.

Comes with cross bars

Will it be tough (impossible?) to get the side and rear windows off of a soft top with the Gobi installed?

Not sure. They were very helpful when I asked questions via Facebook Messenger. You should give that a try.

Anyone have a Gobi Stealth rack on order that would be willing to sell it (looking for two by mid May) ? .. Our overland company ordered two 2018 Unlimited JK's and Jeep automatically upgraded them to the JL. We just found out a month after submitting the order and now we are at risk of losing our 2018 tour season. We submitted a Gobi order yesterday and have 12-16 week wait.

Suprised how slow to market RTT compatible roof racks have been so far.

Gobi is ready now. I'm holding out for something like TeraFlex Nebo if I can persuade @CR90 to let me drill through the hard top. The other day TeraFlex said "hopefully soon" to me in a facebook message.

GOBI is quoting a 16 week lead-time, That's not ready.

What's your guys preference for transporting skis/boards? My cousin was trash talking a roof rack citing salt, chance to fly off etc etc. Claims a vertical system off the hitch/tire is the way to go.
