PrInSu Design Studio Roof Racks BS Thread

Hey guys, I have a few quick questions in light of the upcoming flash sale:
1) Does anyone know how much the cab rack weighs for the doublecab option?
2) Skimming through a few threads I see two different cross bar options, but only the 1x2 is listed on their website. So have the old 20x40mm (guessing on size) cross bars been phased out and replaced entirely by the larger black ones?

 

Boo! The double cab rack is only 10% off. If it was 15% I'd go for it.. But I've already bought too much other crap this week

 

Yup, just saw that Tricky advertising

 

"as much as xx% off" always means less for the stuff you actually want.

 

I know I know haha. Just got overly excited.

Still would like to see a weight # tho, if anyone knows

 

Is anyone able to get the dimensions of the Cabrac? Just the length/width. I want to start CADing out what all I can stuff up there.

 

Picked up a shortbed toprac during the sale this afternoon... It def pays to shop around! I was just going to order though Prinsu, but that $85 s/h killed the deal for me. After a good bit of googling, I found a place that was honoring the flash sale AND doing free shipping! Saved $147 today!

 

Damn, nice find. I ended up having to pay shipping, but it came out to about what the regular price is. Nice work though!

 

Want to share this place you found?

 

Sale is over now, so prices will be back to normal

 

Figure this out yet? Was it from the roof rack mounting holes?

 

Was there an install thread on tw where i think someone kept the channel strip in one piece & opened a 1/2 hole to fit the roof mount spacer in the channel? Or it could of been a utube vid maybe?

I saw something, somewhere just dont remember. the guy scored the back of the strip to cut the metal and get it out of the way but dont remember how he matched the holes to the roof threads. Now that im ready to install the thing.. no can find.

Btw got my prinsu from truckbrigade.com

Free shipping. Did it all via txt. I hart the internets & smartphones! My wallet on the other hand.. not so much.

 

Not yet. We had a bunch of rain over the weekend and my truck sat during all of it while I was out of town. Carpet was bone dry when I checked yesterday. Im going to do a water test this weekend with the roof liner pulled down to rule out the rack.

 

Wondering if anyone can help me out. I want to mount a few containers to the PrInSu for trips where I've got bikes in the bed. I am looking at the cargo accessory rails but it's a bit pricey for me. I already have an extra crossbar so I just need to two side plates but I can't find them by themselves. What solutions have you guys come up with?

 

@Tacoaric are you selling the wind deflector?

 

This thread should be helpful.

I sold the whole rack and gave him the extra. Sorry

 

Still looking? I have one with no light cut out. Only used it for a month while I waited on my new one.

 

Please update this thread with your findings. I really want this rack but having a leaking roof after install is my biggest worry. Cheers!

 

Will do. I don't believe its my rack causing this but I'm going to rule that out for sure this weekend. So long as you do a large drop (hersey kiss size as the instructions says) before you place your spacer; it should not leak at all. During my install I had to back out my bolts on the front and that might be why I'm getting a leak up there.

Will report back for sure.
