PrInSu Design Studio Roof Racks BS Thread

They tend to not do discounts or GB. Better off finding a vendor that sells Prinsu. Somebody will chime in with those vendors as I bought my years ago from Prinsu

 

For any Prinsu vendors out there! Let me know. Thanks

 

Tacomabeast is where I got mine with a 10% LLOD Code that basically covered fright on it so I just pair a little under 700.

 

Happy Father’s Day to me . Now looking to do a roof wrap m since I will not be able to clean the roof regularly. Saw a few options here on TW I just need to find a local shop to get it done

 

Did you mount directly to the roof? Or on tracks. What did you use to mount it with? I just ordered mine today and would like to have everything ready for when it comes. Thanks.

 

Good call on the wrap that’s what I did but have yet to order my rack

 

Couldn’t wait to wrap it up. Especially after the cheapest quote I got was almost $300. Here are some pictures of the final results

 

$300 is a decent quote for a good place to do it. Any cheaper and they are skimping on materials, prep or talent.

 

Wrap it urself

 

How exactly are you doing that? Link to those j-hooks?

 

Just mounted the J hooks with the hardware/mounting attachments that came with the J hooks. They work and are pretty damn secure but the bracket is more rounded which doesn’t exactly work as perfect with the square prinsu cross bars.

Just ordered a Prinsu rack for my DCSB. Website said 1 week lead time, then shipping. What do you guys think is a reasonable time to expect the rack at my door? I'm ready for install!

 

When I ordered mine there was a 3-4 week lead time, it shipped in a week and a half and took about 3 days to get to my house. Not sure if I just got lucky or not, but it sure was nice!

 

Mine took a little over 2 weeks. Faster that what I though. Good luck.

 

what thread and kind of bolt did you buy to be able to stack washers? my racks come in a few days and I want to be ready incase my leer topper gives me this issue

 

Those are the bolts that came with the rack. I just got 1/4" stainless washers. It may be worth getting some 1/4-20 1 1/4" carriage bolts if you have to do the same thing. The outside bolts were barely long enough as you can kind of see. other then that it's been on almost 2 years not with no issues. I don't have a roof top tent but I've had the rack loaded with kayaks.

 

Yeah, mine is also crazy loud on the highway. Can hardly use the built in microphone for calls when I'm on the highway. I went with the lighbar cutout on the front, but have not yet installed a lightbar, so I wonder if that's a contributing factor. I haven't yet installed any weatherstripping either...

 

Does anyone have the prinsu awning brackets with a RTT? Does it clear? Thinking about just going with the ARB brackets instead as a more cost effective option that should clear the RTT.

I just bought the awning brackets and installed them last night. I’ll grab a few reference dimensions for you later tonight. Just hit me up with a PM later as a reminder.

 

Which awning brackets? ARB or Prinsu?
