PrInSu Design Studio Roof Racks BS Thread

If you have the cutout and no lightbar it is going to make noise. No way around it except to put a lightbar on.

 

Welp, time to find a simple light bar. Anyone have a recommendation for one that won't break the bank? Looks like I need to do some research on installation.

 

TRS has a good 40" for I think $300 or so. Bunch of guys run them

 

Who thinks that this could be modified to work with the Prinsu rack to be able to mount a full size spare up top?

I looked at the first post but did not see anything about it.

 

Awwww I knew I could count on you!

Thanks man! I am pretty sure I had looked at that page multiple times but never even noticed that, was there for the awning mount stuff...

 

I need to just go ahead and get the full size spare before I need it. Random google gave me that Yakima mount so wanted to see.

Racks look so bare without anything mounted on them...

So going to do Plano Case for Recovery/Spare Parts, Rotopax for fuel, and Maxtrax on the front rack and then do full size spare and the waterport on the shell rack along with the two awnings...

 

Will be a while before I am able to do a Swingout, so next best thing I guess.

 

Hey Zach just checking what current lead times are. Emailed a couple of times to check the status of my order but haven't heard back. Was hoping to get it before an upcoming trip but doesn't look like that will happen. Hope things are going well!

 

Got my Plano case mounted!

 

Little something Ive been working on... Roof Rack Bike mounts using Yakima Parts...
Parts Used: Yakima Landingpads
Yakima Control Towers #11
3/16 aluminum
custom lathe milled inserts (could be made with washers...)

**will be connecting to rack with 3/4 inch 1/4-20 carriage bolts and lock washers. this will allow for wide bars and narrow round bars with endless possibilities. can get the control towers and landing pads very cheap on eBay. With short round bar used.. ill still be about to mount the plano on other side of rack and it will be lockable. Part were dropped off to powder coater today and i'll update with finished product next week!!!

 

I need help deciding which way I want to mount my water port, a. Is horizontal, I can make brackets so it sits lower I'm between two of the bars so only 3/4 of it is above the bars
Or b. I do it long ways but this way it will be entirely above the rack, which would you choose?
(Sorry for bad phone pics)

 

I think i would mount it between bars... less drag

 

Needs to be mounted upright though.

Not much room to drop it..

I mounted mine along the last crossbar, upright, and made a simple mount.

 

Upright? How so?

 

Schrader valve at the top, outlet on the opposite end at the bottom.

 

Sweet truck, I see. How does that have an effect on it? Mine is from a bed mount so the valve to connect my hose is on the top

 

Well when you pressurize it, you want all that pressure above the outlet as much as possible, to push out the water.

 

Does anyone want to trade a black 42" cutout Wind Deflector for a solid black, no cutout wind deflector?
I am buying a light bar and need the cutout.

 

Does anyone have a CaliRaised light bar on their Prinsu Cabrack? What mounting hardware did you use? (do Prinsu's heretic light bar mounts work? Or do the CaliRaised brackets fit the Prinsu cabrack well?)
