    Little of this and a little of that
    I'd say go for It! It just makes your set up that much more versatile.

    Do it! I just added one to match my front. So much room for activity.

    Well, waited too long. The chick sold it to some other swinging dick last night. Damn! Then again I dont have the tracks to mount the Prinsu and was planning on getting the camper painted before the rack went on anyway.

    I thought it was already white?
    I’m going to need to look into how to mount them things to shells, I’m slightly intimidated taking a drill to mine lol

    Previous owner rattle canned it some generic off white lol. Want it professionally painted the Toyota color. One thing I also noticed is that the rear window doesn't sit center. So the frame of the window rubs on the camper on one side when opening/closing it. Is that a clue that maybe the rear window was replaced by some dipshit and wasn't centered on the install?

    Ah, two tone! You sure some sweet urban/snow camp from the 90’s wouldn’t look better? Lol

    That window thing would bug me, good luck. I’m not sure how difficult it would be to pop that thing off and remount it. Hopefully the shell isn’t tweaked or a bracket/hinge bent.

    Love the build. What are your thoughts on the 40" light bar from Amazon / any additional noise in your prinsu rack? I am looking to install a light here soon.

    I like it and it’s plenty bright. Only thing is that the beam is more spot than flood which is fine considering I have flood ditch lights and a 20” bumper light bar so the spot can reach out and touch stuff further down the trail. Honestly, I don’t ever hear road noise from the Prinsu unless I’m driving into the wind on an open interstate. The rest of the time I can’t hear shit over my mud terrains and tinnitus lol

    So I made an overnight trip to Sacramento and just found my Plano case latch all gauged out from some asshole that tried to break into it at some point probably during the night at the hotel I stayed at. Luckily the dumbass didn’t figure out to just pull on the latch and it would have came off pretty easily. On the down side his 1$ screwdriver that he used broke the locking mechanism so now it doesn’t accept the key anymore. What a wonderful world we live in.

    What a dumb ass. Sucks that happened to you. I’d just throw a padlock on and call it a day.

    Looks like they also took a blow torch to the latch as well as had the balls to stand on my camper shell to get to the case. I can't imagine what would have happened if I had walked out to this happening.

    I just imagine the 2 thieves from Home Alone with that amount of incompetence.

    Ignore the jeep:
