    I'm not sure if this is a record, but it may be close.

    1/5 - ordered
    1/12 - shipped
    1/18 - arrived

    All parts and hardware received including 1x1 cross bar and the noise reducing trim. No flaws or scratches, and everything aligns properly. I may flip the wind deflector around although I don't think it matters. I will install the rack tomorrow afternoon.

    How are you securing your tire on the roof?

    My brother and I both got cabracks for Christmas. They were both installed about an hour after we got them.

    Installed my racks the other day. Hardest part was adding Yakima tracks to my camper shell.... lots of measuring. Very pleased with the outcome!

    what noise reducing trim? also, I searched but a ton of results turned up. when I want to add tnuts to attach stuff, how do I do it after the rack is installed? I assume I loosen on side of a bar and put them in?

    Tied to a dialysis chair right now so I can’t check, so does anyone remember the internal width of the Tacoma cabrak between the two side panels?

    still assembling mine so I'm not sure if ill have any issues but I would like to say I got good feedback from cbi. I ordered mine jan 2ndish? and received conformation from prinsu with correct info. shortly after I received my invoice from cbi with the wrong address, which I didn't notice. got my notification from ups that it couldn't be delivered because of an incorrect address. emailed ups and cbi at 7pm in the evening to try and get it straightened out. ups fixed it shortly after but cbi emailed me EARLY the next morning to inform me that they double checked with ups and the address had been fixed. altogether ive been happy with my experience. with the incorrect address and a weather delay I still got it in 17 days.

    The cross bars are 47" long if that helps.

    Installing toprac on ARE with Yakima tracks. What’s the recommendation with the weather striping on the Yakima tracks on the shell. Should I punch it like the weather stripping on the cabrac. Hoping just to pull it off. Drilling holes in that weather stripping was a huge pain in the ass.

    Got the Prinsu installed yesterday. The install was simple and painless. The rack took about 15 minutes to assemble, and the install on the truck took approximately 45 minutes. As I mentioned on Thursday, CBI was great to work with - 0 issues.

    Is it possible to mount just one rotopax to the Prinsu using the rotopax standard lock mount?
