PrInSu Design Studio Roof Racks BS Thread

TopRac ordered! 3-4 weeks

 

Update:

Order shipped yesterday and is in Salt Lake as of this morning. Should be here on Tuesday

My original confirmation was incorrect but they got me the correct one within an hour or so. Let's hope it actually got packed correct.

 

Those 3-4 weeks flew by.

 

They had the side bars as being powder coated, I don't want powder coated haha. Everything else they had in stock!

 

Ah that makes sense...I decided to be a chump and went for the powder coat!

 

Does anyone have good quality pictures of the load panels that prinsu sells? I can't find any good close-up shots to see how exactly they work. Also, if anyone has DIMENSIONS, or wouldn't mind measuring theirs, that would be awesome. Thanks.

 

Cbi has seriously stepped up there game. Ordered two weeks ago arriving next week according to tracking number. 3 weeks?

 

Will a 2nd gen rack work on a 3rd gen? So say yes and some say no. Thank you for the help.

 

If you go to the prinsu site, it shows 1 rack for 05-current Tacomas. So Yes.

 

Alright guys, my prinsu rack is coming on Monday. Now for my question, I will need a 3/4 inch hole puncher and some painter's tape. Do I need any additional hardware that isn't included in the kit?
I read that some people are buying threadlocker and some are buying stainless steel hardware due to rust. I live in California. Do I need to purchase those or am I good at the hole puncher and painter's tape?

 

You'll also want some silicone. I put a glob in the hole before putting the bolt in to get a good seal.

 

A blanket to lay on roof for initially setting it on the roof and rvt marine silicone found in painters section of hardware store by thread lock. I did not reuse the weatherstripping and left it out and couldnt be happier with the install. Did mine today.

 

Where did you get that weather strip on your wind deflector?

 

Ordered it with rack from cbi. Definitely get it from them and not a hardare store it fits perfect and stops the whistling.

 

See post #9486

 

If you are reinstalling the weatherstripping you will need a Dremel or a right angle grinder to cut through the metal strips that run through the rubber.

 

Or just a 3/4" leather punch

 

Thank you guys. Now is there a tutorial video? Im a bit clumsy. It would be reassuring if there was a step by step somewhere.

 

@Rob Daman has an excellent one on you tube under “prinsu install”

 

Thanks for the compliment. Glad it helped you out.
