PrInSu Design Studio Roof Racks BS Thread

You would have paid extra for them, I think they were $30 each. I got 6. Fairly certain they're unreturnable

 

I have also had these racks for a while (cabrack is approximately 5 years old back when it was just Zack out of his house and the topper rack is almost 2 years old). Things might have changed..

 

Gotcha, I'll post in here when it comes in, for public knowledge

 

Call CBI. I swapped out feet with different size. They were great to work with. Still waiting on the 1” feet right now, though.

 

After a couple people complained about the cabin noise while on Bluetooth, I figured I would try the piece they sell for $12... but am struggling to pay $13 shipping in a world of Prime. What’s the verdict... noticeable difference? Is there a Home Depot alternative?

Will this work for the whistle from light bars as well?

 

I don’t think so. The whistle on light bars is typically from the fins on the back. You'll have to search around for a search on that as I’m not sure what it is off the top of my head.

 

Thank you for the quick response, do you think it made a legitimate difference?

 

It made a huge difference for me. It was making a dulll roar and that vanished once I added this.

 

Figuring out my mounting points in the ground before we tossed it up on the shell.

 

Anyone know if there is a discount code for the prinsu designs website? I saw the one for Venture Overland, but it's cheaper for me to order directly due to shipping rates.

Sorry if this has been asked a million times already; too lazy to click through 500 pages to find an answer.

Thanks

 

Do you mind posting a few more pics with showing the load panel. I haven't seen many people with it installed. Thanks in advance.

 

x2 really clean setup

 

Sorry guys, I completely failed to take any pictures of just the rack without all that crap on it. Give me a week (letting the bolts settle in and going camping this weekend) and I'll have all that stuff off and I can take pictures of just the TopRac and load panels.

Honestly I feel silly having shelled out $200 for basically just a MaxTrax mount. But I was sitting there trying to figure out how to space the load panels to work with both the MaxTrax and Rotopax (in a North-South) orientation and was having major brain fade. In the end I just decided to use the load-panels for just the MaxTrax pins and then straddled the Rotopax mounts on two cross bars going West-East. If I had a do-over I would have just done the DIY angled aluminum mounts and not ordered the load panels.

 

Talking about this stuff.

Use carriage bolts to attached it to the sides of your crossbar and drill your mounts as necessary. Or even just aluminum flat bar cut into 12” lengths to span your prinsu crossbars and drill your mounts into those as necessary.

 

Just ordered the cabrac. Could someone tell me the mods for wind noise reduction so I don't have to skim 500 pages for info lol. Is it just weatherstripping on the wind deflector and t slot covers? Wonder if just some electrical tape over the t-slots would work......

Also, does a light bar make them any more or less noisy?

Thanks!

 

Use the door rubber seal horizontal on the wind deflector.

For light bar, you may get a whistle, which I am still looking for the proper seal for.

 

My noise is minimal and not worth doing anything about.
