    Was this Waterport with the bar mount(flat). Trying to decide if I should get no mounts and make my own or just work with what they sell to install on my prinsu. How do you like it ?

    Need some input here. I'm new to prinsu racks and I'm not sure what they mean by the 1x1 or 1x2 to clear the shark fin antenna. Which one do most people get?

    Dynatrac ProRock 60 Rear Axle, that is important enough.
    It was pretty flat I guess? I used two large quickfists to mount it that I already had, worked really well and held really well up there.

    Do you get a lot of wind noise with your window deflector +LED lights?

    Figured I’d let y’all know I ordered a cab rac on Feb 22nd and the invoice said it would ship by 3/8 but it showed up yesterday! The order was perfect no missing parts or anything, in fact there’s at least 2 extra sets of each type of hardware which I thought was a great touch.

    So hopefully everyone can feel better about the transition to CBI for now.

    Forgot about this thread; here is my current set-up:

    Got my Tacoma back from the shop!
    Installed:
    -Prinsu Roof Rack
    -Custom brackets for LED pods
    -Plano Case
    -Front Runner Double Mount Jerry Can




    I told them to ensure these pod lights swivel so I can use it either for driving or camp:



    Prinsu forgot to pack my wind deflector that goes in front of the rack, but customer service was great and they shipped it off right away. Will be getting it on Monday.
    Front Runner mount was missing a hardware that latches the jerry cans; customer service was also great and they expedited the part. Will be arriving Thursday.

    Will be getting suspension and tires done Monday.

    Been meaning to post this up but go super busy. Ordered my TopRac a few weeks ago and installed it also a few weeks ago. Pretty happy with it but ran into a snag but I solved it. Through up my awning on it so we'll see how the wind noise on it is



    Got the full setup now! :thumbsup:

    Was thinking of putting lights up there like yours also. How did you feed the wires down to the engine area from up top?

    The shop ran it along the weather stripping of the front window. I’ll take a picture of it when I get a chance
