Hey guys I'm wanting to look for a roof rack but the only company I really found is gobi and there definitely a pretty penny.
just wondering if anyone can point me in a direction of a decent price rack
thanks

Knignt Metal Works is a forum sponser and they make really nice full size racks.

Like BW said, you don't even have to leave the forum to find one of the nicest, custom-made racks around (Knight Metal Works) - http://www.hummer4x4offroad.com/forum/showthread.php?2835-KMW-Custom-Roof-Racks

You could also go with a Defender rack - they are well made & not too expensive (around $400). There is a new one for sale here in Tucson: http://tucson.craigslist.org/pts/3598012404.html

Here's a great thread started by Nacho that has info about H3 roof racks. FYI, the BA rack is no longer made.

Definitely look into KMW. Best built racks and you can get them exactly how you want them. I have the expedition rack and love it! I have the jack mounts, ammo boxes, and more tie down spots than i can count.

I would suggest a FOBI in general. A locally made version of the GOBI. KMW is a FOBI, with a group of great upgrade twists. The one issue you may run into is the same to some degree as a real GOBI... Shipping. Hence the reason I suggest a locally built FOBI. If not for the shipping cost to the east cost, I'd have a KMW version. They are very nice and very well built. I had one built locally for under $500 delivered. Not as nice, but same idea.

I was at Rack n Road last weekend getting some work done on my wife's F150. The dude in the store nearly flipped when he saw my KMW rack. I'd have to say I get more compliments on it than anything else on my rig.

I like the name "FOBI"! however, not to be nit-picky, but I don't consider mine to be FOBIs at all. Other than the fact that they are a full size rack, they are very different than the Gobi racks. Very different construction.
