Prinsu Rack on an ARE DCU canopy

Gentlemen and Ladies,

I’ve got a set of Prinsu racks ordered for my 2016 DCDB. I’m looking at the ARE DCU canopies - I like the side access doors, the weight, and the utilitarian look of this set up.

My only issue is this - how do I mount the Prinsu rack on the bed height DCU shell. Unlike the other ARE shells (Overland and CX) there does not appear to be a rail system. Perhaps I’m wrong.

Has anybody done this combo ?

Is this just a silly noob plan that I should avoid ?

 

Have the rail system installed on the shell.

 

I had a ARE DCU with a solid mounted VanTech m1000 rack on it. I just drilled through the cap. You should be able to get a rail system, and then just drill that into the cab. Make sure to silicone the bolts.

 

Nice truck.

What's the make of the black case on the roof rack?

Thanks!

 

Thanks for the great photos ! Really helps out a lot. Is there anything you disliked about this cap setup ? How did the ARE DCU hold up ?

 

I'm looking for same info!! How did the DCU hold up? is it water tight?
