    I've been to their new facility here in Texas, and I can say that they're definitely trying to do the fab work right. I have a set of their LED Pods, but honestly haven't used them much, so I can't speak to the quality yet. However, what I saw in the shop is right on par with quality work. We did a meet up there back in September, so we got to walk around and talk to the guys actually making the parts and see the equipment in action. I think the fabricated stuff will be worth the investment. Honestly, if I could afford sliders and a roof rack, I'd pick theirs. Plus I could pick them up and save on shipping.

    Just my $.02 guys, from a dude who's put eyes on the shop.

    I just purchased a prinsu from a member here. Once he removed the rack, the section of the weatherstrip and the cab showed signs of wear. Sort of a cloudy line which was very noticeable. Due to regular vibration this does happen. Now if a member on here has figured out a way to avoid that wear mark from the weatherstrip...I would be very interested before I put mine on.
    Regarding cali raised, I think they have great fabrication, I purchased their sliders before they moved to Texas. Great product. The only concern I would have with their roof rack would be any wear marks from the rack against the cab. Aside from that looks like a good product.

    I decided to purchase one from Caliraised and try it out. I plan to put a layer of vinyl wrap before I install my rack though to help protect my roof

    I did the roof wrap recently, good for protecting the paint in an area that will be hard to keep clean and is notorious for failing after years in the sun

    Ahhh, that's an excellent idea. My paint is starting to fail above my back door. A wrap would be perfect.

    Anyone have pix so that we can visually compare the Caliraised roof rack next to the Prinsu and Victory 4x4?

    What's the timeline on making a matching topper rack? I want the roof rack for my DCSB but just got a snugtop topper so want to get them both at the same time. @CaliRaisedLed

    Right now we do not have any exact timeline, we do have some major products in the works I would say if that does come out it will be a few months!

    We do not have any videos on that. It very easy to mount the lights but everyone will have there own variation on how they will wire the lights. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
