Less than happy with Prinsu

Im with you OP on instructions. At LEAST put a pdf file on the website! Almost every manufacturer is doing this video only crap. My rrar bumper install was video only, and it was wrong and missing things! I made a post about it and the compant more or less made it seem like i was a dufus because their instructions were lacking.

Loose parts in a box, missing hardware, not cool.

 

There is an easy to find pdf of instructions on the site, I even put a link in my comment earlier.

 

For the record they do have a pdf file on their web site…it’s just not very good and hard to see on a phone in the driveway…I’m sure part of that is my fault for being a boomer…The handles on the other hand had no instructions that I could fined, a lot of extra little screws and nuts and for the money should come with a few 1/4 - 20 nuts and bolts to mount them other than extending the cross over bolts (that’s just my opinion)
I paid a higher cost and went with Prinsu out of respect for their research and development, their originality and reputation.
In retrospect I would have been better off going with a company like Martin…pretty much the same rack for a lot less money…
I’ve fallen in to this situation before.
I tend to go with the bigger more established name…
Usually it works out better in the long run but not always…

 

To sort of answer your question - I used some 4-wire bonded trailer wire wrapped in heat shrink and ran it up the a-pillar along the windshield. Using a rubber mallet and some patience it all went in very nicely and is basically invisible. The 4-wire powered a light bar and roof rack side lights on separate switches.
