PrInSu Design Studio Roof Racks BS Thread

thank you.

 

It fits perfectly. Low profile blends with the roof rack perfectly. Love the look

 

As other have said, the tracks are the way to go. I ordered my Shell with the tracks. The TopRac is a very straight forward install with the tracks. My tracks came with screw on end caps, some may not. I think mine are Yakima, but I'll have to check.

Just the ability to be able to adjust exactly where the TopRac sits on the topper, is worth going the track rack route. Also, Zack's already done all the figuring out, the racks are really well made, and seem to have been refined a lot since they first came out. The CabRac and TopRac line up perfectly on my truck.

 

Is this what you have? https://www.yakima.com/42-tracks-w-plusnuts

not sure if thule or yakima is the way to go, here is thule: https://www.thule.com/en-us/us/roof-rack/accessories/thule-top-tracks-42-_-6238999

 

Mine looks like the Yakima

 

The black on silver looks fantastic! Zach had responded that some folks have issues with the last bar and the Shark Fin others not. So no issues for your install? Good to know.

 

Too funny....Just checked my email and looks like my CabRac is on its way! I have definite plans for next weekend now. Looking forward to it.
Thanks Zach!

 

Nope, had this much space when I mounted the last bar in the back two holes

 

Anyone with a LB mind taking a few measurements of their track rails on their shell? My snugtop didnt have the tracks installed so I am ordering the

$200 Thule TB60 Top Track Roof Mount Rack Mounting Track (60"es)

Thule TB60 tracks but from what I am reading some trimming might still be necessary.

Whats the distance from the cab of the shell to the start of the track and also the distance from the rear of the shell to the end of the track?

I am going to have a shop do the install for me but I want to make sure they just arent slapping it up there.

 

I agree, I love how my black on silver turned out as well. I definitely had issues fitting the last crossbar on my 2017 DCLB, but Zack now offers a 1x1 extrution for people like me, I'll be getting that along with a few other goodies in a few weeks. I've attached a few pictures showing what I'm talking about.

That truck looks like an older body style, not a 2016+, can you confirm?
It looks like the fin is smaller on the older body styles.

 

Hey I wouldn't mind taking measurements and pictures, but I'm out of town this week. I will be back in Colorado this weekend. I did take some pictures of the truck before the rack install, here's something in the time being to give you an idea...

The tracks are 37" on center, but there's a little bit of variance in that spread from front to back. I don't know if that makes a difference, but I just spaced my cross bars accordingly, tightened on side so it wouldn't move, and then left the other side loose, so it could be adjusted as we were mounting the rack. Made final adjustments once it was in the track.

On a side note, it looks like you have a 2016, I recommend getting that 1x1 extrusion for the last bar, since you might run into issue fitting that last cross bar like I did on my 2017

 

Mines a 2015

 

Is there a reason why the toprac's side's are much thinner than the cabrac's? Wanting to buy both but am worried they'll look off...

 

It's so you can mount lights under the toprac

 

Ahhhh. That makes sense.

 

It also helps with installing a roof top tent. It is pretty tight under there.

 

Appreciate it.

I have the 1x1 on the list just waiting for the group buy to go down.

 

What mounts did you use for your Morimoto?

 

The trick is to get two bars mounted to the RTT spaced correctly so all you have to do is lift the RTT onto the rack and then tighten up 8 bolts on the crossbar ends. With 2 people it takes less than 5 minutes
