    Can’t get over how much I love this rack! Looking to add rear facing amber S2 Pro’s in the near future.

    Just read through all 541 pages! I ordered my toprac and cabrac on May 6th, shipping estimate is May 28th. After reading all these posts I feel I can put these together in my sleep!!! In fact with my left over hardware and maybe a couple lights or something I may just build a rocket!!!

    It’s very very easy. Just take your time and make sure to seal up the factory bolt holes really well.

    Long shot, I had the Prinsu on my taco and bought the load panels, I sold my taco and kept my load panels. For those of you that have them they come with strips to fit the rack securely, I lost some of them. Again, long shot, where can I find replacements? I sent an email asking but no response. Anyone have an idea where I can find these aftermarket?

    Update: They reached out to me and I got them coming soon.

    Has anyone lifted the shell of their truck by their Prinsu rack. I have a chain hoist and i'm wondering if i strap to the prinsu rack if it will be able to lift the shell without damaging either.

    I wouldn't be comfortable with it. I am sure the rack could handle it, but I would think the connection of the tracks to the shell would be the weakest link. I can't remember off the top of my head what those bolts look like.

    Anyone want to trade a non cutout for a 40” cutout?

    Any ideas on wind reducer trim... is it just a little weather strip type thing I can go buy at home Depot and Lowe's??

    I'm fine with spending $15 on Prinsu website... But kind of want to do it right now, not wait

    I’m sure window trim from Home Depot would work

    Thanks for the info! Did you have to pay for shipping? If you don’t mind me asking, what you pay after checking out?

    Interesting that’s probably the best price I’ve seen so far.

    Yea I heard they had free shipping. Wish they had some sort of Memorial Day Sale to sweeten the deal.

    Ordered mine 5/6 received it on 5/24 and installed it on 5/25! Didn’t have any major problems with the install. I used a punch for the holes in the weather strip without cutting the metal first and it punched right through. Had one bolt that gave me a little trouble getting started because the spacer was a little crooked in the hole I punched, other than that it went smooth. Did the install by myself in the afternoon, road tested it on the highway up to 85 or so couldn’t really tell a difference from before I had it on!BF3A4B33-8277-4875-9DD0-DE119456CC8F.jpg 5F0DFC88-566A-4358-AF83-506F1BE32F1D.jpg 449491CF-D487-4FB0-AF08-86E8F2907111.jpg
