The PRINSU How To Thread

What order does the flat washer and lock washer go in mounting the roof rack??

 

Flat washer should be up against the side plates. Lock washer in between the flat washer and the screw head.

 

Thanks @zscott!! Finally got around to installing the Cabrac!! I got it in march hahaha

 

Are there any issues with the Leer canopy's rear swing up window hitting the rear awning while it's open? I want to get a foxwing awning on my ARE canopy but am not sure if the window will interfere.

 

anyone mounted a nato jerry can holder to the rack? I got my rack ordered and looking at how to move truck bed items to the rack.

Thanks!

 

What are people using to mount eye bolts to the t slot tracks? Looking to mount my saw when needed

 

I ordered mine through Zack when I ordered my racks, they look like shorter carriage bolts.

 

Looking for black loops/tie downs for my prinsu rack...

 

Informative thread, good stuff to know.

 

I installed the cab rack on my 07 DC about a month ago. Everything fits great! I put the rubber seal on the bottom of the front wind deflector and my question is if the rubber seal is supposed to sit tight against the roof of the truck? Mine does not, its about a 1/2" away. I don't see a way to get it to touch the roof if it is supposed to.
Also I am getting some vibration out of it at about 50mph. Is this due to the exposed slots in the aluminum cross bars? I thought I read somewhere that there is some kind of plastic filler pieces that can be used to fill the slots and cut down on wind vibration, is this true? @zscott

 

I purchased the prisnu awning mounts is there info on this somewhere

 

They're stout!

 

Yeah my rubber seal sits flush against to top front of the roof but I have a 2016 Taco

Look for these online:

I wish i could get my seal to fit tight to the cab, i think it would help with wind noise quite a bit. Thanks for the link, i will check those out.

 

Post up some pics of the setup and maybe we can help?

 

I will get some today and post them up.

 

Does anybody know of or have a write up of mounting a CVT to their prinsu?

 

Not really a write up. You just throw it up there and use the supplied hardware that comes with the CVT. It's a plate and two bolts on either side (4 plates total). It's really self-explanatory when you get your tent. Use whatever extrusion bars you want. I think once you have it in front of you (assuming you don't already), you'll see how simple it is.

 

I do have my tent! I haven't gotten a chance to actually do anything with it yet. I'm mainly worried about how to go about it since it's like 200+lbs I have to lift up over my head and somehow mount to the rack..

 

Gotcha. Get a friend! If you're putting over your toprac, come from the back and slide it up. The bottom of the tent slides easily on the rack. Think like loading a canoe on it, just get the nose on the back of the rack and slide forward. Once it's up there, it will slide easily to get it centered and placed how you like. Then tighten down all the hardware.

If putting on the cabrac, follow same procedures come from the side. I am 5'6" and able to load my tent myself, but it's not easy. With two people, it should be a breeze.
