    I sure as shit hope this doesn’t happen to me as mine are supposed to be here tomorrow. They have been fairly responsive on emails as to the timing but now I’m nervous as to if I’m going to be receiving all my parts I’ll keep y’all posted on my order as it comes along with the install.

    I ordered the cabrack along with one 1x1 bar, wind fairing, edge trim and a pair of tie down rings. It was supposed to be shipped on 9/27 but only got delayed by 2 days, so not bad.

    This sounds terrible... sorry to hear it. What's the weight of your order, do you have a UPS tracking number for it? Should be about 47lbs if I remember right.

    Ugh- sorry, I was one of those with coated sides and plain bars that got theirs fast. I hope this moves along faster for you. :(

    I ordered on 9/22 so I'll let you guys know how long it took them and if it'll be complete. Email said shipping 11/6, so we'll see.

    Sounds like it's been hit and miss for you guys for sure, sorry to hear it. I had a good experience with it. Before I ordered mine, I thought about designing and sending out my own drawing file to a laser cutter like the original Prinsu designer did (there's lots of metal laser cutter shops online that can do it - I even got a quote for cutting and materials for a couple sides and front about the same dimensions as those on a Prinsu cabrack for about $250, too), but figured out that with powder coating and all plus time, the time won out on that one. The racks are really simple in the way they are designed, and very well done too. There are probably others like it out there, I bet it won't be long before another kick starter type here comes up with their own version for sale.

    If they are on it, you will get a tracking number as soon as they ship it, that's how they handled mine.

    For what it's worth - my deflector looked like that on the whole surface left to right and top to bottom, after a single Canadian winter exposed to salt-brine misting on the highway. The metal was corroding underneath the coating.

    It's about 1-3/4" (1 and 3/4") above the dead center (between the roof ribs) of a 2017 double cab. "Parkade" sounds like you are from the land of maple leaves, so that's about 4.5cm for you folks! :)

    Haha outed myself far too easily there. Awesome, thanks for the specs and the kind translation. Just ordered today! Now according to the comments I have anywhere from 1 to 10 weeks to wait hahaha.

    I ordered a cabrac (all powder coated black) on 8/10, and it's on the UPS truck for delivery today. UPS says it's 43 pounds. I may not get a chance to check if all the parts are there until tomorrow.

    43lbs is probably good.

    I'm thinking of a couple of small led lights off the 1x1 crossbar to use to light up the bed and rear (for night time trailer work). Anybody have any suggestions? I was thinking some type of cubes or a small 1x2 light setup , but was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for smaller lights?

    I have these bookmarked, but they seem a bit overkill at $175
    https://www.bajadesigns.com/products/S2-Pro-LED-Light-Black.asp

    I'm hoping to attach them to the underside of the 1x1 crossbar (which I have to fit around the shark fin), that way it won't interfere with sliding a kayak or canoe on the rack.

    Rigid scene lights seem like they were designed for the prinsu! @sidetracked was able to hook me up for a great discount as well.
