    What mounting rails are you all using to mount your racks on the toppers? Thule? Yakima? Rhino?

    Hello all, I'm new to Tacos and forums.
    How might one know if / when a new group buy will be accruing? Assuming maybe next year, late this year?
    What is the typical saving with the group buys?
    I would like to get in on a this rack.
    Getting a Snugtop with yakima rails in the next week or so.

    Finally got my Prinsu Rack installed on FJ. Was out of town for 7 weeks on strike duty while my rack collected dust in the basement.

    Has anyone created a cap of sorts to cover the rails on their prinsu roof rack cross bars?

    I'm just thinking about keeping ice and snow out of the channels this winter.

    More good news about the Prinsu rack for the 16 Taco...
    I found that with the rack installed (with 1/2 crossbar in the rear), it subsequently and surprisingly STOPPED COMPLETELY the flapping problem I was having with the Softopper cab-side panel!!!
    Thanks @zscott great product!

    Thanks for the link Zach and KaptainH. I found that after installing the FJ RoofRac that I was getting a bad vibration of the rack between about 30-40 mph. You could touch the rack as you were driving this speed and you could feel it vibrating like a giant tuning fork. Ordered the snap-in T slot covers and just got those installed the last couple days. Fixed the issue entirely. I suspect it was probably only a couple of the crossbars creating the vibration, but I used the T slot covers on all openings.

    Interestingly, the rack is quieter at highway speed (65-75 mph) that my previous setup with Yakima Bars.

    Hello Zach,
    I bought a pair of racks, cab and top, on July 5th and have tried a couple of email attempts as to when I might expect delivery.
    But have not heard back.

    Hello, I was #48 of the group buy ~ 48. @Boomerswany - Cabrac, BL Bars, PC, 30" CO

    Life's gotten complicated ~ I'd consider selling, if I can get it sold fast. Leaving out of the country Aug 25th...
