Do you like your Toyota Rav4 or Honda CR-V as I do? My videos focus on modifications and care of these two vehicles. Plus there are a few music videos from my old days, as well as links to my other music channels. Thanks for looking, and enjoy!
Hi. I am simply following the manufacturer's install instructions. Not sure how to answer your question. Perhaps you should ask Curt directly for a proper explanation. Thanks for watching.
I have the cut wind deflector and it’s still too small for my light bar. I need to remove about 1/4”depth. Going to give it a try with the jigsaw and see if that fixes things
Hi. I went with a 43" x 2 1/4" cutout. Not sure if this is Prinsu's cutout size, but that size works with my 42" single row light bar. Size may change depending on your light bar size. Thanks for watching!
Hi, I'm sorry I do not remember what brand this is. You can search on Amazon for Honda CR-V cargo net and you will see similar nets for sale. Thanks for watching!
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST INSTALL VIDEO ON RU-vid FOR THE TRD OFF ROAD OR ADVENTURES WITH THE RAISE RAILS. BETTER THAN the actual PRinsu Rack fabricators . THANK you SIR
Hi, this is a 4 cylinder, but this Trail edition has a towing capacity of 3500 pounds. Some day I plan on getting a small trailer for a boat, but for now it's just there as a recovery point if I ever needed it as there are no tow hooks on this model. Thanks for watching and the kind words!
My word of advice is apply anti-seize on all bolts. It's not too late to do it now. They will seize and break off if you need to unscrew them for whatever reason years later. Btw, good job laying it on top without scratching it, I also did it all by myself.
I think you’re right on the anti-sieze. I saw another video where a guy tried to remove the wind deflector from the crossbar and the nuts were all rusted and seized. Also thanks for the kind words. It was a challenge doing it myself as you know. In retrospect I probably should’ve asked for help. Thanks for watching.
Great work but you desperately need a wireless Lavalier microphone for your presentations. No matter where you're standing, your voice will sound loud and clear.
I still have the Prinsu rack on my Tacoma for 10+ years with no issue but it was easy bolt on from outside, never needed to open up the inside liner. I like this rack so much that I had to install it on my 23 Rav4 as well and looks great with 40 inch amber light bar(I know, to each their own). BUT I agree with you, it's something that I don't ever want to do it again on a Rav4. It's ridiculously time consuming for simply roof rack install. Btw, this installer took few unnessary steps(no need to drill a hole or pull out weather strippings, etc.) so made it look extra daunting.
@@Jet_FinderYes, I ordered one with a cutout. Again the 40" single row lightbar sure do look nice and very well functional. You can hide the wiring under the side windshield weather strip or buy "car wire hider" for clean install. I used wire hider since I have more than one light up there. Prinsu sells the cutout front deflector for $136 but I would try to cut it myself, I think someone did that and has video on youtube, not sure. Oh and you can mount it on the top but I think it's too high and won't look clean. But then, to each their own.
Hi. I was working for 3 hours today... and I failed.. I'm going to try again next time. The reason I failed... Both sides won't go in at the same time.. If you fasten the bolt on one side The trailer hitch on the other side is not going in.. No matter how hard I try, I can't... I ask for your help.
Hi. Try supporting at both ends or ask for help. I put in 1 passenger bolt first just enough to hold it up and then went to the driver side. It does take some wiggling around but eventually it will go in. Screw on the bolts just a little to hold it then when they are all started you can tighten them down.
What year is this fix applicable to? Im considering getting a rav4 but hesitant because of the known issues with these roof leaks. Honestly I'd rather get one without a roof rack but even the lowest model has them.
This video is taken from my 2022. There are recalls for 2021 and prior but none for 2022 forward. Like the video shows there were I think 4 holes in each rail that used plastic clips eliminated from previous years. Hope this helps.
Hi, it's supposed to turn on and off if there is or is not vibration in the car from driving. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't for me. No big deal because the solar charger works fine and I've never had the batteries drain on this unit. Thanks for watching!
After watching several ditch light wire installation videos…yours was by far the best in explaining what to do without all the extra bull that most others seems to include while leaving out the most important details. Thanks so much for your help!
Hi. I just pulled back the grommet slightly on one side and forced the wire through and then pushed the grommet back into position as much as possible. It’s a tight space to work with but be patient. There is also a circular insulation cutout on the inside of the car covering the grommet which I forgot to mention but that pops in and out easily. Thanks for your kind words and thanks for watching!@@moeswayseldom12
Yes holes in a roof are never good. I will keep this thread updated as to if I see any leaks develop. I hope the RTV Silicone keeps it water tight. I have seen others use rubber plugs in the holes with silicone. Thanks for watching the video.
You don't need to drill holes by not using included plus nuts. Use washers and lock nuts instead. No issue at all. Mine is with 40 inch light bar, which IMO looks lot better than this one. Lol.
I had the same problem with the OEM switch and back light. After reviewing the images you posted, it seems you got a better response from their support team than I did, and now the wiring diagram makes sense. The yellow wire needs to be wired to a separate dash light. This should give the back light power whenever the car is on. Maybe splicing the yellow wire to a wire on an adjacent button will work. Also i believe your white wire connected to the switch should be wired to the black ground wire that goes to the relay. I will rewire my switch when i have time and report back. Hope this helps.👍
Hi. I recently saw this video from an FJ owner who tapped into the tail lights fuse. This looks like a more viable idea then splicing the wire. If you get any good results please post is here. Thanks for watching!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SbXkLwCS53o.htmlsi=wOS5IKbClXRROJHJ
