    So I am looking at adding a roof rack to the truck and thought just Prinsu design made one. But now I see Cali Raised LED makes one as well. So I am asking which do you have and what are the pro and cons of each. Looks that the price are about the same. So any help is appreciated.

    Hi Randall!

    Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions! Our racks only have been out for less than 2 months now, so there are not as many people that have experience yet. But the main goals that we set out for while making this rack were eliminating wind noise and provide multiple lighting options. But here are some videos on the details on our roof racks! BEST OF ALL... We are currently running 10% off all our racks for the whole month of March which includes FREE shipping and NO tax!

    I drove with the light bar exposed for the first time last night and the difference in wind noise is astounding. The ability to cover the bar for high speed travel is well worth it. I'm very happy with the Cali Raised rack.

    Where did you get the mounts for the light bar and side lights? I have the same rack but can't seem to find them. Thanks.

    How did you install all six lights? Which wiring harness did you use or did it come with one to link them all together?

    Really digging this vs the other options out there. Add some pull handles and I think this is perfect.

    @CaliRaisedLed how large are the cut outs for the side lights? Would these fit the meso customs/baja design light brackets?

    I have a switch pro 9100 that I dedicated 2 switches too; 1 for left scene and 1 for right scene. I did not use the back 2 since I have a topper. I ran a wire (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076C4MXR1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to the aft left then spliced the front left into it so they both come on with one button. Then I did the same for the right. If you don't have a topper then I would dedicate another switch for rear lighting.
    I hope this helps. Cheers, Don

    Cool. Do they make a 4 way where i could at least run all scene lights with one switch? And then just make a separate for the rears i guess. (I dont have the switch pro)

    I like the 550 cord handles. Plug/link please? And did you have to drill these into the rack or were there already slots for them?

    I don't know. I know you could just run one up the window than around to the far side and splice the other three in. I prefer this method as it limits the number of wires running up the windshield.
