    I was about to order a Prinsu rack for my 2019 TRD Pro, and somebody on Facebook, with the same model with the snorkel said, the dealer told him, because of the snorkel ,he can't install a roof top rack anymore. Is anyone here with snorkel and roof top rack, is it possible? I need the rack for a roof top hard shell tent. I can't install the tent on the bed because I ordered a Leer cap.

    Call Prinsu instead of listening to secondhand dealer rumors on social media.

    I'm sure Prinsu would give you some detailed measurements so you could check before ordering. They may even already know, and I can assure you they would know more than some guy on Facebook that some uninformed salesman told him.

    I will, I really hate this snorkel, now, more than when I bought the truck, but was the only one with a full package, jBL, warm seats, etc
    Thank you for advice guys.

    It looks like it's connected via a bracket to the original roof screw from pics. I've never seen it up close but if that's the case I'm sure something can / will be worked out.

    I was afraid I have to force the DAI a 1/4 or 1/2 inch out to clear the way for the rack but now I see that's not the case. They are working together better than separately. I really need the Prinsu rack now.

    I can't tell 100% from the photos but it does look like it is pushed out a bit. I would contact that member and ask. He seems like a nice guy and would likely take more close up pics for you.

    I think you could easily fabricate a bracket to use the stock mounting points in concert with the Prinsu rack though. To me it makes the DAI look a lot more at home on the truck.
