: The Hannibal rack doesn't seem so expensive now.
Sloan 01-25-2004, 11:21 AM I saw this ad for a H2 roof rack and liked the design so I thought i'd check out heri web site see if there was any chance they offered them for other vehicles. The rack goes for a cool $2600.:eek: www.gobiracks.com Anyone know somebody that could fab me one of these?;)
Kelly O'Connor 01-25-2004, 12:23 PM Sloan, you might call Simon at Faultline Fabrication (909-599-9559) and see if he can help you. He builds everything else you can think of and does awesome work to. He is in San Dimas, Kelly.
Rat70FJ 01-25-2004, 12:47 PM Looks like that rack is for H1 wannbes. It's got a 50 cal. pintle mount on it!!;) ;)
Goebeler 01-26-2004, 12:38 PM My vote would be Simon at Faultline as well. Every time I deal with him it gets easier and easier! Nice guy and very fair.
My 2 cents for what it's worth.......
I would think that with the H2 not having very good visibility or a turret would be better off with some sort of wire guided missile linked to the driver's helmet.
Definitely have somebody fab it up, aluminum might be a nice alternative. That rack didn't look as though it had much structure to it . I would be concerned that a heavily loaded roof rack would tear up the gutters if the weight is not properly distributed.
BTW, Sloan, got the 8274 mounted in the ARB and on the rig, thanks again and sorry I missed ya down under. Kief.
orangefj45 01-26-2004, 08:25 PM definetly give simon a shout. and i doubt he'll charge you $2.6k!;)

Where are the pics of the bumper conversion?:D I was bummed I didn't get to see you and meet your family. I was working Alias and they kept asking for one more day, one more day... I hope all is well, and I may be traveling through your neck of the woods during April.
Kaderabek 01-27-2004, 05:35 AM Not much usable space on that thing. Interesting design, I like the tire carrier, but it looks like mostly for bling and not much for utility.

Sundance 01-27-2004, 06:16 AM One thing about that tyre rack is,it locks you in to having a spare no bigger than the space ( if you put it in the space)
Kaderabek 01-27-2004, 06:49 AM Good point. The other (other) thing is that you'd have to plan all your tool boxes and coolers and the like around the odd space left between the tire and the overly enormous opening for the sunroof. Pain in the ass. I suspect that space is best suited for lawn chairs and a decent view of the steeplechase.

We all know that te H2 is ALL about image, nothing else. the H2 only shares 1 letter from the name of the original hummer and some styling queues. That's about it.
I don't have a problem with the Gobi rack being $2600.
Hell, if you just paid $60,000 for an H2, $2600 is nothing.
Seems well made. But considering their product line (or lack thereof) they need to pay for that fancy website somehow.
dieselcruiserhead 01-27-2004, 09:33 AM I bet you they've sold hundreds of those... :confused: Kind of cheezy but you should check out fuh2.com there is actually some funny shit there...
Sundance 01-27-2004, 10:10 AM Isn't it time you got a tube bender and a MIG Ken? :D
Sloan 01-27-2004, 10:18 AM If this house purchase happnes in the next couple of weeks it will be.;)
