PrinSu Vs Front Runner Roof Rack

Only if it's light beer..

 

Ehh... I really want to be able to sit up there and fly my drone.

 

Shouldn't have an issue. The important thing to keep in mind about weight ratings is understanding static and dynamic ratings. I have never had an issue in my RTT when parked. I wouldn't jump around up there, but you get my point.

+1 for being a good sport about my "joke"

 

I was gunna reply back with “Oh a six pack of Michelob Ultra will be fine then!” But I instantly gagged and felt my manhood shrink. I’m more ok with joking about it now. But I really scared myself there for a second

 

what did you pay for yours? I'm in Alberta.

 

Is it just me or did the prinsu go up in price?

 

I'm in BC but got in on one of Zach's original Group Buys, shipping sucks - but at least it comes in a smaller box than the other racks.
KRave auto in Calgary carries Prinsu; https://kraveautomotive.ca/
Also contact theGearShop as well - they have Frontrunner and BajaRacks; https://www.gearshop.ca/

 

Yeah looks like some online stores have them up $50-100 more than what I paid for about 2-3 months ago. Maybe to help offset the cost of the new crossbar design?

 

Thx!

Krave did my bumpers. I'll hit them up again.

 

What are you hooking that to under the hood, the hinge?

 

I had a spare strap lying around the house that I cut off. Use a grommet install kit at the end to attach to a 10mm fender bolt. Worked great. I think you can also buy a similar strap at Cabela's or REI.

 

Just a side note. The black cam straps that comes with these kayak racks( mine is a Swiss 3-1 rack) are weak. I had to buy some rachet straps for reinforcements for the trip back.
230miles one way going 75mph with a 13ft kayak created alot of resistance noise but no issues.

 

Sherwood Toyota can also get Prinsu racks or may have some in stock/on the way. They sometimes make orders so if you can get in on one of those it may save on shipping.

 

Getting them from KRave. Sale price too.

 

Prinsu looks better in my opinion and price tag looks better too!

 

To whoever asked about kayaks...
I just run some J bars and strap the kayak to the two bars. Works just fine with my 14.5 footer and when I have a friend's up there next to it as well. Never felt the need to strap the ends down too.

 

Hey Captainreverso,

What type of box do you have attached to your PrinSu ? I was looking at pelicans but open to better options. Any advise would be appreciated!

 

Where was this picture taken?

 

@808inDa503 Can give pro/cons as he's got both setups...
