I am having it sent directly to my Mechanic shop where they have a team of Mechanics and such.
I found them (88 Rotors) on YouTube and they are a 20 minutes away from me.
88 Rotors, all they do is Suspensions , Suspensions & more Suspensions.
Occasionally they also do Bumper Installs, Body Chops, Body Mods, Rack installs and everything else you may need.
It's just a waiting game now.

I have spend hours on their channels learning the technical terms of Suspensions Systems for 4Runners, Tacoma & Tundras . . .
They are pushing out 6 to 8 vehicles a day.
This is my one guilty pleasure (their build channel) ;-)
I think you'll be very happy with the Gobi rack, as I am with mine. I went with the stealth model and had some trouble bolting my RTT on due to the thin space between the rack and the car roof.

I don't think there's much difference in wind noise...lots with both.

Finally a shipping update from Gobi will be emailed after the labor day after 19 weeks of waiting. The frustrating part of the process is not being able to get an update from Gobi 15th week into the build. Left many messages with no returned calls. Was Super annoying but I'm hoping to get it next week (the 20th week). Just wish their customer service was better with me.
FINALLY!

After a little over 24 weeks, the Gobi Ranger was delivered to my door steps. The packaging was solid and pretty heavy. I was able to install it myself and the most challenging part of the install was how to hoist the 70lbs rack onto the roof of my rig without either dropping it or scratching the heck of my side of the rig.
I laid a moving blanket on the roof and let it cover the driver side of vechicle. I then leaned the rack bottom up and slide up towards the roof and gently wiggle the rack into position. The rest of the install was a piece of cake. Took me all in all around 2.5 hours with breaks in between. Super long wait to receive but it looks good.

I have bad news, I was laid off Yesterday so it's going to be a while before I can get my self back up and get back to work.

Thanks for all of your shares and please keep them coming.

Hanging in there,
