    I would have went with a gobi if i had more money, then bastards r pricey. I went with a baja flat rack. No complaints other than the wind noise from the front plate.

    Prinsu aint a bad one either. Stylish and durable IMO.

    I see your Gobi doesn't have the wind deflector in the front. Did you you prefer the look without? I'm also going to get the Gobi. Best looking and very heavy duty IMHO.

    Ultimately I believe it depends on what you plan to use it for.
    I have the oem rack and have been very satisfied with it.
    The crossbars can be locked either parallel or perpendicular to the cab, and Inno makes a nice-looking fairing for it (which I'm considering).
    If you were to go with the oem, there is a gap that some suffer after install which can be avoided by simply bending the forward metal piece at a downward angle prior to insertion.

    Exactly do you have a link? Quite noisy if you keep the bars straight across
