What are your objectives with the truck? Rock crawling and harder trails, or forest roads and camping? Or is it more for looks?

Gobi is great but it adds 100lbs to the top of your truck, so not ideal for harder wheeling but almost a necessity for camping. Rancho would be good for harder wheeling but is less important for forest roads and camping. Both make the truck look nicer.

All are good mods. As Alex stated your use of the truck will indicate which of your options will be most beneficial to you. When wheeling in the trees I have found roof racks can be a negative. When going hunting or camping they are a huge asset. I have only winched myself out of one situation. 99% of the times I use a winch it is to help someone else. Lift...I don't have one but I know Chris is very happy with his.

I did the winch w/ my Thorparts front bumper first. I haven't used it yet but, I have it if need be. I would like a lift also. Its on my list too...

How much was the bonus? (Rhetorical question, I really dont need to know). The winch is the cheapest, then the Gobi but the Rancho lift is gonna be 4-6k. After all, you need new wheels and then tires to go under it. May as well do it right! I just don't see them being together in the same choice.

I am extremely happy with my Gobi Stealth rack! Excellent quality, fit, and finish. Ordered it thru Trail Duty and got the ladder, basket, and shipping for free. I was going on a trip to FL, and they got it to me before I left.
