    Had to widen the holes to aim my light bar. Went from -5* to -0.5*. Huge difference. That’s what I get for being cheap.

    @Mista_G @AFPhi404 Sorry it's a couple of months late but I was going out camping every other week then I got lazy so I never got around to taking all the crap off my rack. Finally got around to it this past weekend.

    If you're wondering, having all that crap crosswise up there did cost me about 1 to 1.5 mpg on average.

    I ran 4 wires (40” bar and 2x rigid scenes) through this channel along the windshield but it’s now pretty tight. I’m thinking of rerouting the rigid scene stuff along the back, down between the cab and bed, then up into the switch pro.. still don’t want to drill through the roof of a ~2 year old truck!

    I have a question. Im looking at both the Prinsu and the slimline II for my 3rd gen tacoma. How fast are the lead times on getting those? I'm currently in the Middle East and wont be back in Texas until Monday. If I order either of them will they ship immedietly or later on? I don't want them to arrive too early, but I also want them to be there the day I get back. I'm leaning more towards the Prinsu.

    Also, between the two, which one sits lower? As in closer to the roof of the truck.

    Thank you

    It definitely wouldn’t get to you by Monday if you ordered today, so no need to fear that. Took mine a week to ship and then a week in transit since I’m on the east coast

    I wonder if the "CARGO BASKET KIT" can have the finish in Orange like the website. I'm interested on that.

    But do you remember when the turn around time was 8-12 weeks and the rack only showed up at week 16 after on week 10 you were told it was shipping that week and 20 emails later


    Just impressed with the times now. That's all

    I've heard things are much better. The original owner was a real nice guy too. None of this speaks ill of the product or him. I think things just got too big and he was only a one man operation at the mercy of vendors.

    I love my rack. Use it weekly.
