PrInSu Design Studio Roof Racks BS Thread

Haha, not necessarily. I am sure we can make it work in the spring if you want to wait.

 

Mine will be here before that trip

 

I was on your website and I dont see anything about this lightbar mount?

ALSO, theres a bunch of guys who just ordered ARB awnings... just sayin, we ready for those mounts too, whenever you are!

 

No need for a mount-arb awning attaches directly to the prinsudesigns rack

 

with the hardware the awning comes with?

 

Yup!

Mine is mounted high bc I wanted to fully clear the doors. Doesn't need to be though. Will be relocating it down next run. The only thing I added are washers that didn't come with it. Super easy!

 

Dope. will come sometime this week, just in time for Labor day weekend in the mountains.

 

What I will tell you is MAKE SURE YOU USE THE STAKES AND GUY LINES EVERY SINGLE TIME it's deployed. That thing will take off in the smallest gust of wind. Don't ask me how I know.

 

does it come with the guy lines and stakes? lol

 

Yes

 

My Tepui lasted fine in a thunderstorm this past weekend. No lines nothing

 

So prepping my 2016 for install, I taped the roof, marked the hole locations, reinstalled the weatherstripping to mark hole locations and i noticed the mounting points on the truck itself are not centered the narrow way. Should i punch the holes centre on the weather stripping?

 

Since the bolts are 6mm and the inside diameter of the spacers is more like 9mm you will have a little wiggle room. Even if the holes aren't exactly centered the spacers can be pretty close.

 

Looked to me like that was the case. Maybe off centre towards the inside of the cab by 2 or 3mm?
Also, i'm punching the holes, not drilling so I shouldn't have to cut the underside of the weather stripping with the metal spine off as per your instructions?

Thanks!

 

Yeah with the punch you dont have to cut the spine prior. It can make it easier but not necessary. Just know the spine will take some force to punch through.

 

Email sent through the website! Got a product related question/suggestion that I would be curious to hear back on.

 

Whats been everyones preferred powder coat finish!? My rack is coming raw aluminum and I see some textured black, any gloss black?
I was gonna do a "spartan bronze" to match my grille but maybe too much "bronze" I assume a textured black holds up best to wear and tear?

 

Smooth black will shed dirt, grime, dust, and roadway salt better and is usually a thicker finish because the smooth powder can go on heavier without looking like crap. I use textured as my standard though because it hides scratches and scuffs better. You have to clean it more often but even after tons of abuse you can usually make it look new again with some good polish. The smooth powder will show scratches much easier.

 

I got mine in Textured black with black anodized bars!! Also got the 40 inch light bar cut out! I'm slowly getting around to putting on!

 

Textured black it is. Looks good, just wanted to do something different. Kinda wish I had ordered it that way now
The lady of the house always wants black, black, black... lol

Thanks guys.
