I'm currently working through this though process as well. I enjoy my soft top but ultimately want a hard top. I'm drawn to the RTR rack because it will work with either. Problem as you can imagine, is price. That thing is WILDLY expensive. The GOBI is cool but also pricy. I'm torn. Its a weird...
installed a set of these Friday after research and a completely unrelated video series on youtube documenting experiences over 30k miles. Thanks for the info and recommendation. I love Toyo tires and I'd bet these are no exception.

the question is, how fast are you going. 75-80? My bronco HATES going that fast 15-17. 55-65 i can get 20 on the computer
