no problem man, that's what im gonna do i till i find a better solution...

but i'm definitely calling to let them know.

i want them to pay for whatever i spend to do it right.
not cuz i can't afford it but because it's just right

 

Haha all I did was use the stock mounts that came with the light bar and mounted them to the Prinsu rack with upside down 1/4-20 carriage bolts

Sorry to let you down boys. I made my own cutout in the Prinsu wind deflector so my light bar sits a little bit on it and basically keeps anything from moving. The light bar hasn't moved a millimeter since I installed it

 

I've never had an issue adjusting mine. Mine hung from a bar though. Maybe that's why?

Edit: just figured it out. You got the mount backwards. The adjustable part goes on the center bolt. The top bolt is the fixed one.

 

Why the hell didn't I notice this? When I was sizing it up I never considered flipping it upside down to try that out. Need to see how this will mount when I get home if I flip it.

 

lol i gotta go check it out, i swear i flipped flopped and turned it every way..

edit: ok so i see, like the light mounts under something.

you just gotta push the bracket a little hard against the rubber around the wire to make it adjust.

i may make something custom so it can mount to something behind it and be closer to the wind deflector

 

We are in the same boat

EDIT: But they way you suggested worked out great still, solid as a rock for the time being

There he is

 

Hello there!!! Nice place you got here and sweet truck man!

 

Thank you sir! Have a lot to update, just gotta do the write ups! Will post the updates today

Toprack Install:
Finally got all the pieces to the puzzle for my Toprack after the shipping dilemma that I ran into last week. Had some difficulty getting it lined up with my Cabrack due to my shell’s rack tracks not being entirely lined up with the cabs rack mounts. Took a little tweaking but was able to finally get it all straightened out, beyond that the install was cake. Glad to finally have my full rack system, now I need to get a plano case, rotopax with mounts, and my RTT.

Looks great man! I've heard not to run rotos on the roof since they leak on their side

 

Ah man I was worried about that, figured that it would leak but I suppose its bound to happen. Might go this route then: https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.c...ers/front-runner-single-jerry-can-holder.html

 

Are you going water or gas?

 

I'm wanting to have both, that's what I liked about roto system is how modular it is and can accommodate for both gas and water easily. I wish I had a swingout or some option for exterior rear storage, cause it seems that im going to have to have it on the rack. I see that being a downside as most systems have the canisters laying down on its back or side. Any ideas?

 

Idea #1, Get a swingout. It is the best.

Idea #2, look into frontrunner rotopax mounts that put them on their side. It might be hard to rig up to work on a prinsu rack, but probably possible





Idea #3, Jerry can it like you linked.

 

#1 I would love a prelfreybilt swing out, but if im being realistic it probably wont happen for a year...
#2 This is probably my favorite realistic option but it would be difficult, cause the mount utilizes FrontRunners side faring rail system, as im sure your familiar with it has the rails on the side in which accessories can mount. Don't see how I can rig that up with the prinsu faring as there is nothing for it to bolt into. I could mount it on the last crossbar hanging off the back of my top rack but then I think it would impose on the opening and closing of the campershells window.
#3 Its still laying on its side with this system, wondering if leaking would still be an issue

 

1. Totally get that. Someday!

2. I think you can use one of the t slots on a crossbar to work with this. Instead of the t channel along the side of the frontrunner. You just need the right hardware.

3. As long as the cap is at the top, not a terrible fix.
