Gobi Ranger rack v. Gobi Stealth rack

[USMC_315]

Hey guys its been a while since I've really posted on here, was gone for a few months while I was in basic training for the Marine Corps. I'm still away from my 3 for about another 5 months while I'm at school down in Texas. While I'm here I'm completing the shopping for the additions that will be installed to my 3 next summer or shortly after I'm reunited.

So far I'm planning for a Rancho lift with 37" trail grapplers. Putting in Bilstein 5100s and then a PCM tune to compensate the speed and produce better shift points for the larger tire.

I'm now looking into the roof rack I want and have narrowed it down to the Gobi ranger and stealth racks. Not sure which one I should go for and wanted to hear some feed back from people who have had an experience with either. A pros/cons list would be helpful to me for my decision between the two, thanks!

We have the Ranger and really like it. We can't use the wind shield because we have the factory off-road lights and if the sunroof screen isn't closed we get a fair amount of wind noise. Not sure how much difference the wind fairing would make or how much quieter the Stealth might be.

I have the Stealth and would choose it again. Honestly, I'd have no rack at all other than I use it quite a bit for vacations, long trips, etc. Unless you're truly doing expedition travel, a rack is just one more thing to catch tree limbs. That's why I would go with the Stealth and its lower profile.

I have the Ranger rack, i picked it over the stealth because i like the traditional look of round aux lights and not bars, that and the higher sidewalls to hold stuff. Yes its a pain in the ass to find parking sometimes because with a Ranger rack and 35's, definitely can't fit in anything under 7 feet.

Stealth. The only down side is the price.

Can't make it through the day? Back up, and get a run at it!

I have the ranger style but would much rather prefer the stealth. I love my current rack but would also love to fit in parking garages, and if lifted I'm not positive you can fit through a drive through. I also just think the stealth looks more modern. Either way I could never go back to not having a rack, not after seeing my truck with one, changes the look entirely.
