    I have a Prinsu cabrack and these don’t line up with it. Nothing wrong with the side plates it just won’t work for me. If the side holes and slots were drilled lower then the rack would be flush with my prinsu. Plus the mismatch in powdercoat between the two doesn’t look good.

    Back from the road trip, internet was so weak in that part of the country, hard to believe in 2018!

    Will reply to PMs and start the second batch. And a dedicated thread.

    I would still want side plates at the end of the crossbars. I want them to perfectly match the roof shape too.
    I think mounts can be improved significantly (ideally adjustable) as well as wind deflector. If mounts are adjustable it might be a little more expensive than fixed bent tabs though (edit but cheaper than those $160 ARB mounts)

    I am doing an ordering page because I want to offer a cheaper mounting feet option.

    Also looking at drop shipping the crossbars and drop-in t nuts from tnutz at cost, so someone can order a full rack in one shot at a very reasonable price

    It was like that when I bought it (Toyota Certified Used Vehicle). It looks like the previous owner Line-X'd it or did something similar.

    almost done, but I have already ordered a batch for laser cutting. Everyone that showed interest here will have priority on that batch (that'S why I still don't have a general thread)
