    Thanks. I over exposed the shot (with the cell phone) to get the tire detail. It is silver. Silver was not my favorite choice, but it has grown on me. I actually like the black tops better.

    I hear that, both my Jeep and truck happen to be silver just because that's what color came with the best deal. But the silver hides the tree hug scratches, road salt blends in and Pennsylvania and West Virginia road dust matches the paint well. That Gobi rack looks good on there!

    Thanks, Mark - I very happy to have it on. Planning to install bumper & winch this weekend. I plan on doing some outings with it in WV this spring/summer before heading out west in the fall.

    If you need some suggestions for a run down in West Virginny drop me a PM and I can offer up some options.

    The rig is looking good & coming along!

    I ended up with silver too because that was the best deal. it's grown on me.

    If you get a chance can you post pics of the ARB awning mount on the Gobi?

    Did the awning come with the necessary hardware?

    Thank you!
    Matt
