I have these now, but I'm researching latching systems before I commit to anything.

Willie:

Very clean cabinets there. On hardware and construction questions, you might want to check with Charles with Warfield Offroad. Recently, I needed some very heavy duty hardware for my slide out tray and he was the only source I could find. The units I purchased were top quality.

You should have all that ready just in time for Borrego Fest :D

Thanks for all the kind words guys, it's really appreciated. I'm still working on them, but yes Dave they will be ready for Borregofest! Can't wait, but I still know know my work schedule. :x

Chazz.. the Engel is going top right of the box. ;) leaving the left side with access to the med kit and fire extinguisher, that will be mounted this weekend. I just don't know if we will do the fridge or a RTT first. (I need a second job) ANYONE NEED A DIVER TO DO CRAP WORK ON THEIR BOAT?! :lol:

Roof rack is next though. I'm really leaning towards the Bajarack. Any opinions? The only one I have spent a lot of time around is the ARB, but Baja is local and that's how I roll!!

I've got a Baja and absolutely love it. I drove out to the office in Vista and John gave me a hand in getting it up on the roof. I also picked up their axe/shovel and hi-lift mounts along with a jerry can holder. Quality products.

My only gripe is against the lame plastic bolt receivers in the roof. I lost two in the headliner somewhere getting the old rack off. I've been putting off dropping the headliner until I save up some money for some Dynamat.

If you want to take a look-see, just let me know. I'll be out at Borrego Fest or more than happy to meet up with you somewhere local.

Will you be at the ExPo meet Saturday? I would love to see the rack up close.

The GOBI is nice, I really like the how low of a profile the Stealth has. The deal breakers are the price, and the fact it folows the contour of the roof. If the steal was flat, I would be all over it despice the price tag though. Gobi was my first choice for the Rubicon, but the Wildboar was just too good of a deal to pass on.
