    It is the Gobi. The thing is gorgeous! I am really hoping they make one for the XK. You guys need it.

    No kidding, awesome. Does it mount to the roof or on the tracks. I would get one in a heartbeat, only low profile basket I have seen and liked

    It uses the stock rack mounting locations. It was really the only rack I considered installing on the Jeep. The problem was I could not justify spending $1300 on a rack that I really only wanted for mounting lights and the occasional load. That was until a fellow member on JF decided to sell it for $700 which included the rack and the $300 he had put into the lights. I couldn't pass it up!

    Here are a few pix for better viewing pleasure:

    Sorry about that Matt. I was debating whether to post the pix in that thread or not. Thanks for moving them!

    It really is a great looking (albeit expensive) rack. I, too, hope they produce it for the XK... complete with a wee ladder on the back!

    Ya! They make a ladder for this one too and I had the option of purchasing one a few days ago, but I don't like how the WK looks with a ladder on the back. That and I would never use it. That is what the 4xGuard side rails are for!!! That and standing on the tires.

    Even the custom ones cover the sun roof. I really like this, I hope they do one for the XK
