Well good news! I finally got the Gobi installed!!!!! Very happy with the product, packaging, and instructions. Installation was a breeze for the most part. The most difficult thing was putting on the wind deflector/ LED bar. It took me a bit to get everything lined up and snug. I actually did quite a bit this past week on it...
-Installed the rack.
-Installed the ladder. I got the baja rack ladder, not gobi... i think the baja looks nicer. Installation was pretty east on the ladder too, despite reviews saying otherwise.
-Installed the light bar.
-Installed the rear hatch heavier duty shocks. (way more simple than i expected)
-Repainted the sliders where they had been chipped from gravel.
-Cut grip tape to fit the places hit by gravel. Stuck it on those spots to see if it helps protect the paint.
-Put grip tape on the rungs of the ladder and roof rack where i will step.
-Got a smitybilt hitch step, so i wont have to stand on the bumper so much. Also easy if i need to pull something.
Still to do...
-Put protective film behind the ladder, and on the spoiler where people will scratch it up.
-Mount maxtrax holder bolts
-Mount tire carrier on rack (attempted this with the rack on, but i cant get my arm under the rack to tighten the bolts. Ill have to come up with something creative)
