Gobi racks are strong, light weight, well made, and they look bad-ass! I bought the "Stealth" Rack with four PIAA driving lights.
I purchased the Gobi Stealth rack from the dealership when I bought the jeep so I could roll the cost into my loan. The PIAA lights I ordered with it were backordered, so I brought the jeep home with just the rack installed. The rack is hinged in the back so you can flip the whole thing over and take the top off. The back of the jeep has a built in ladder. No dilling required, the entier thing bolts into stock bolt locations.
UPDATE: After taking the top off the jeep I noticed a VERY annoying sound every time I made the slightest turn. Offroad it was even worse. There was something (sounded like metal shavings?) inside many of the horizontal tubes that make up the rack. As you turn, they would roll/slide down the tube making a loud sound. Also, on my first trip to Moab one of the welds that holds the screw down foot that puts pressure against the back quarter panel of the jeep for lateral stability broke. I took the jeep to Gobi here in Denver they were happy to help. They put expandable foam in all the tubes to encase the little pieces in there. This mostly worked, but I've still heard a few of them on sharp turns. They also replaced the back vertical supports with a new one with correct welds, and put wear plates under the screw feet to protect the body of the jeep. They stood behind their product. Since then the rack has been great and I am happy to recommend them to any JK owner.
