PrInSu Design Studio Roof Racks BS Thread

You're good man. I even deleted my post, didn't intend to sound sarcastic. Their website could use some mobile browser QC for absolute sure.

 

I did get an email last night say they are on backorder until Jan15 and I would assume a little more time from their if they cut/tap in-house

 

It’s posted in the trading post, but I have a prinsu toprac for a long bed for sale. $500+shipping. Just needs to be boxed up.

 

Just put all the cross bars in a top rack and cab rack for my truck (both brand new). Tried to be super careful, but the last two bars I snapped the heads off to bolts, with almost no leverage (was using a tiny socket driver). If anyone knows where to get better quality bolts in black, please post up, would love to move away from these ones....I felt lucky I was able to get the screws out with vice grips and that they didn't shear off closer to the cross member.

 

Consider these. Black oxide coated stainless steel bolts. The ones prinsu provided are just zinc plated steel. https://www.mcmaster.com/#97763A267

 

thank you @outxider

 

Anyone have a Toprac on a 3rd Gen? If so, how was install and can you post some pics. I am sure there are some in here, but not sure I want to search 500 pages.

 

Install should be relatively the same if not exactly the same as any 2nd gen toprac. All shells, depending on if you buy second hand or made to order, come with Thule or Yakima tracks. Insert the track nuts and bolt everything together.

Easy enough. Already have tracks installed. Thanks for the quick reply!

 

Local to Denver and interested.

 

oh man this is suuuuuperrrr tempting.... i'm up in silverthorne... i hate tacomaworld it makes me spend all of my money hahahahaha

 

I somehow missed the edit to your post until now. Yes, I already have a 52" straight bar, got it on a black Friday deal off Amazon. I'm sure it won't be as good as the better brands out there, but it will suffice for what I need/want.

Does anyone think it should be relatively easy to make one buy just buying a decent sized chunk of steel or aluminum and just bend it into shape?

 

Mini epic installing Cabrack on my 2019 Tacoma DCSB. Used YouTube guide where you drill 3/4 holes in gutter rubber and due to a couple factors it took me 3x as long as it should have.

1. Slightly off on the holes in the rubber
2. Toyota put the gutter threads in slightly wonky.
3. Big key for me was loosening a few of the crossbars so then thing could sit just right, and then tighten down the rack before retightening them.

Also on my truck back bar had to be moved forward or put far back and flipped horizontal to avoid the plastic fin antenna.

It’s all on there good now! Just waiting for canopy to put the other one on.

 

Has anyone LineX a prinsu? Is this possible to rid of the sliver crossbars without ruining the slot space for mounting?

 

I wouldn't do that.. don't think it will workout well. Try some VHT Epoxy Rollbar Paint.. or buy the black bars offline.

 

ill probably just rattle can it with matt black rustoleum

 

Where did you get these riser mounts?

 

those look like the factory Tacoma roof rack tracks. looks super clean like this but id rather mount flush to the roof so save on height but that's me

 

I'm specifically meaning the riser parts, not the tracks. Tracks look factory but I'd be surprised if the risers are.

 

my mistake
