Tacos in St. Louis area

How did you mount your toprac? I just placed my order for the Prinsu group buy since Zach let the first 10 on the list order early.

 

Thats awesome that you got to order yours early. It uses the factory roof rack mounts, when you lift up the weather seal you'll see some painted tape or sort. But under the tape is the holes, super easy install for the cabrac. Now the toprac you'll have to order tracks for the rack, it took some time making sure the tracks were evenly spaced and not crooked. Did he give you a heads up on ship date for your racks?

 

Let's meet at my shop first and then when done we can roll over to the Wolf Fab shop as Austin is booked for the AM.

We got my cross brace welded up and it's sweet. Have to drop it at the powder coater next week as I want to have it on hand when we do yours for some rough measurements. I'll post some pictures later when I get home.

 

He said cabrac will ship soon since he has one in stock, and a second shipment will have my topper rack in a couple weeks.

I understand the cabrac install, but was wondering more about waterproofing any holes I have to put in my ARE topper. Did you use anything besides what comes with the Yakima tracks to stop leaks?

 

Relentless fab

 

Well I'm not one for instructions so I skipped the part where it says drill every other hole for the tracks, so I had to use more than what I got in the package. I just used some clear silicone, fill the holes up and shouldn't have any problems. Id probably wait until you get your rack to install the tracks since it gives you the ability to double check that everything is in the right place. Next weekend I should be home if you wanted to borrow my rack to line up your tracks real quick.

 

Sweet I'm #38. Ya know how much it is to ship a whole set up here? Also anyone think it would be beneficial to package a couple together to save a few bucks. Of course it was a great time to loose my job but I'm still getting this damn mod done! On top of that i gotta paint a shell too if anyone has any cheep tips on that.

 

My receipt shows $75 for shipping. Depending on how Zach packages them, it may not necessarily be cheaper to package multiple orders as it would add weight and possibly larger dimension containers.

I could be wrong though...

 

Checked there, they don't have anything

 

What factory holes? There are factory holes underneath the weatherstripping?

 

Yes there are for double cabs. It's where the factory roof rack attached

 

Thanks for the info! I will have to call them up to ask if the "05+" mounts actually fit to the 2016 or if they don't know

 

more than likely, if you lift up your weather stripping you can see for yourself

 

Oh dam. That's not bad at all. I was figuring a couple of hundred.

 

Thought they did. Maybe MCM fab

 

Yup, he has lightbar mounts

 

Crashing early tonight as I feel terrible but wanted to see if anyone will be free tomorrow to come out to the shop to help install the new suspension for @Sacrifice on his truck. Kinda worried that with just him and half of me we won't get him back on the road in time.

 

If anyone could come out thatd be great. Got a ton of stuff to do. Might be able to squeeze out a few extra hours tomorrow evening before going to work as well if it comes to it.

Plan tomorrow is:
suspension (main priority)
Getting to wolf fab to get strut xover brace made
Winch install
Skid install

 

Wish I could be there to help, I think you'll be fine suspension wise. I wouldn't worry about the winch and skids since those can easily be done in the hotel parking lot vs the xover brace that needs to be bent and welded.

Shoot me a text if you run into any issues, Front suspension should be a breeze no more than 1-1.5h each side at most

 

Yea the last two im not terribly worried about, itd just be nice to get done.

Rear is going to take some time with those stupid rivets. Did you grind the head off then drill or just drill all the way through?
