    I just bought two of them for the sides (in the previous group buy).

    But I was looking for something a little more compact to fit under the 1x1 crossbar I have and face backwards into the bed and behind the truck.

    I picked up a set of these but am waiting on some t nuts to do the install so I can't speak to the quality.

    I plan on mounting them on the outboard facing slot on the rear bar. I also opted for the wireless switch to avoid having to locate and mount a switch inside.

    For me, the lights are not a necessity but utilitarian accessory that may or may not get much use, thus not wanting to spend a large amount of money and time on them.

    At a quick glance, it looks like I got everything with my shipment. The rack shipped one day after thier original predicted ship date.

    You should email them. I ordered my rack and received the "Thank you receipt" than 3 days later they emailed me about the email receipt, stating when they will shipped. Knowing how behind and how some items have been misplaced you should email them to confirmed they have your order. Don't want to wait an extra couple of weeks haha.

    Look what showed up at my door at 10pm last night. When UPS SAYS BY THE END OF THE DAY THEY ARE NOT KIDDING! I opened the box and reviewed the parts and list and am completely happy that CBI completed my order with no problems. Looks like they are making things happen.

    Ok for all you who have ordered and are awaiting a Prinsu rack, I have one big tip for install. Order a 3/4” hole punch. I punched all holes in less than 10 min with a bit of setup where the holes were first by marking with tape on top of the truck first. The fit for the spacers are perfect that I almost don’t have to use any RTV below ( although I will). I found my hole punch on Amazon for $15 delivered, so don’t hesitate make your life easy if you are as anal as I am. A918F73B-5CB1-47D7-9E85-B25E9E651CA9.jpg

    I second this statement. Punch is definitely the way to go

    I've hassled them about updating their website. I ordered mine 7/19 and they say it's still two weeks out. 4-6 weeks is very misleading to their customers, I'm okay with the wait as long as I expect it up front instead of getting the run around for weeks on end after the fact. Poor customer service from CBI so far in my eyes, we'll see once the rack finally shows up.

    Be patient as when it comes it is so beautiful you will want to stop everything and just install it... Not getting any work done today. I was pleasant in my emails and told them about the same situations and they responded very quickly. Once the bars were in my rack was shipped. Can't wait to get it installed tonight but first I must get of TW and get some damn work done.

    I wish I saw this before I did mine. The Dremel and drill method thrashed my holes and my OCD hates it!

    Well I have to say the install is complete and it was not that bad at all. I did it myself with no help from others to put it up there either. I only put on 3 bars and did not put the wind fairing on to keep it light. Once up there it was a breeze. Took it for a drive to see about the wind noise and was not bad until I hit 55 then I heard it but at 75 it is pretty noticeable. I do have the cutout for the 40in lightbar and I think that is the reason for the excessive noise. Was not intending to put a lightbar on anytime soo. So I going to have to live with it. All in all it looks and performs fantastic and I would not change a thing, except maybe the wind fairing.
