Well, I must say this was the hardest MOD to decide on and in the end, I’m VERY happy with my final choice. I shopped around for along time for the “right” rack which would fit my large IPF lights on the Raptor. I first thought about going with an ARB short rack then adding a custom stand alone BAJA style light bar. I waited along time for the light bar to be built and when I finally got it, the welder screwed up the dim on the bar and my lights would not fit…I had already bought an ARB Short rack. I decided to sell the NIB ARB rack to a board member. I gave up on the custom BAJA light bar and decided to go a different route.
During the long wait time I did a lot of thinking about what I wanted to accomplish. My goals were, I really needed a “FULL” size roof rack. The Raptor is being built as an Expedition vehicle. I need all the storage space I can get. I shopped around for a full size rack and really liked the GOBI Ranger but it only excepts 6” Off-Road lights….So, I kept looking around, I thought about buying a full size ARB then fab in an ORU Light bar to it. I spent some time doing more research and when talking with some of our venders, I heard that GOBI would build me what I was looking for. I wanted full protection for my IPF lights, so I needed a rack that would incase my large IPF’s. They are 8.5” in dia. I contacted GOBI and they said they could do it for me. I received my rack today. I have to say I’m very impressed with the quality of the roof rack, GOBI makes one fine piece of equipment. I just ordered the GOBI ladder; Shovel & Axe mount along with the Hi-Lift mount for the rack. Well, now I can’t wait to get the mounts so I can stop carrying everything in the back of the Raptor.
Not only is the GOBI going to be a great functional Rack, but it looks good too. The quality is awesome and Steve at GOBI is great to deal with.
