GOBI Stealth Roof Rack For Toyota FJ Cruiser w/ Lightbar Setup - 2007-2014
GOBI has been making some of the sturdiest roof racks on the market for some time now and this one, designed to fit the Toyota FJ Cruiser is no different. Durable enough to withstand the rigors of everyday use and thrive under any conditions and in any environment, this GOBI Stealth roof rack will elevate your next outdoor adventure and will be a perfect fit for your overlanding rig!
GOBI Stealth Roof Rack
As we already said, GOBI has been making some of the toughest roof racks you can find on the market. But what makes them so resilient and durable? GOBI racks are 100% fully welded roof racks that have a black powder-coated and anti-rust finish which increases their durability and prevents erosion in harsh environments. Thanks to the lack of screws in the roof rack's construction, you won't hear any rattling on the road while your roof rack is fully loaded with gear,
Besides being a durable and long-lasting rack, the GOBI Stealth roof rack is also very rigid, and it has a static load capacity of 800lbs and a 300lbs of dynamic weight capacity which is more than enough to support the weight of all your gear as well as your roof top tent. Your GOBI roof rack also comes with an optional bolt-on ladder that can either be mounted on the rear of your vehicle or to its sides, making getting up and down your roof rack a breeze when trying to attach your accessories and other gear.
Unlike most platform roof racks that have crossbars, the GOBI roof rack has a traversable mesh platform that is designed with style and durability and you can easily attach any gear you want. Another thing that makes the GOBI Stealth roof rack different from the rest is that it has steel tubing that goes around the brim of the platform, securing your cargo, and preventing it from slipping from the rack while in transit. To top it off, it also does not require any drilling in order to install it, making the installation process a piece of cake!
This is a very modular system that comes with 2 removable crossbars that can hold your roof top tent as well as an integrated wind deflector that increases the overall aerodynamics of the racks, minimizing wind resistance and noise even when driving at high speed!

GOBI Roof Rack Safety Guidelines
While GOBI roof racks are built tough and can easily support double the weight of the suggested load limits, it's important to remember there's an optimal weight limit to maintain the stability and safety of your vehicle both on-road and off-road.
WHY WEIGHT MATTERS:
- Vehicle Stability During Highway Swerving: Overloading can shift the vehicle’s center of gravity. In situations where a sudden swerve is necessary, an overloaded vehicle may become difficult to control, posing a higher risk of accidents.
- Handling in High Winds: A vehicle carrying excess weight, especially if not distributed evenly, is more vulnerable to strong winds. The added weight can make it challenging to steer correctly in gusty conditions.
- Maneuvering Curves on Highways: An overloaded vehicle may struggle to maintain its lane during curves. The extra weight can cause the vehicle to drift or respond sluggishly to steering.
OTHER CRITICAL FACTORS INFLUENCED BY THE WEIGHT INCLUDE:
- Breaking Efficiency: The heavier the vehicle, the longer it might take to come to a complete stop, increasing the risk of accidents.
- Suspension & Tire Wear: Excess weight can cause premature wear on your vehicle’s suspension and tires. This not only results in additional maintenance costs but can also compromise safety.
TIPS FOR SAFE LOADING:
- Distribute Weight Evenly: ensure that the weight on your rack is balanced on all sides to avoid tilting or pulling in one direction.
- Secure All Items: Always check that everything is tightly secured. Loose items can shift during driving, affecting stability or potentially becoming a hazard.
- Regularly Inspect Equipment: Before every adventure, inspect your rack and cargo for any signs of wear, damage, or potential issues. Promptly address any concerns.
- Adhere to Manufacturer’s Recommendations: Always refer to your vehicle’s owner manual for specific weight restrictions and recommendations. This ensures you’re not exceeding any limits set by the vehicle manufacturer.
- Adjust Driving Style: When carrying cargo, especially close to the weight limit, adapt your driving style. Drive slower, take turns with care, and increase your following distance.
