Congrats on the new house, Mike! Also, I'm really interested in the lights video you mentioned. I'd also like to see the update on the rear racks. Looking forward to those!

Hey Mike, watched this when I first bought my taco last year and decided this was the rack for me. Happy to say I finally picked one up, assembled it and will be loading it up tomorrow! Thx bro.

@Yotasol18 5 лет назад

👍🏼 can’t wait to see updated video on that rack system for the diamond back. I installed the same one you had and works great but see that now you have a “rail system” I’m assuming to move the rack bases at different positions 👍🏼

@zackschmidt4381 5 лет назад

Great vid Mike! Congrats on the new pad ! And Prinsu if you are watching please make this rack for an18 f150, i will be your first customer

@benjaminspann7795 5 лет назад

Love your taco bro. Always enjoy your videos on everything keep up the awesome work can't wait to see your rack on the diamondback.

@thebigempty_5792 4 года назад

Thank you!!!! You answered the ONE huge question I had- how do you slide extra backer nuts into the slots- Prinsu gives no information on this on their site. It doesn’t even mention the wider openings at the ends of each bar. I had a Cali Raised bed rack on my Tacoma and ran into this problem- they said I had to plan ahead and put a bunch of the nuts in the slots before closing it up, thus having the un used ones sliding around. They eventually got me a fix, which was to use press in nut which has a small spring loaded ball bearing, you compress it and press it in, without having to slide them in from the ends. Rhino Rack uses the same in genius design of a wider opening at the bar ends. Simple yet effective

Dude I just ordered my prinsu rack for the 5th gen 4runner! I’m so stoked for this rack to get here!

@joelely5464 5 лет назад

Mike, for the wingnuts holding the nomad case I'd grab a couple small rubber washers and throw them on. I doubt anything will come up through the holes like you suggested but a super inexpensive and easy piece of mind in my opinion. Great video. Keep them coming!

@Gunnyk1567 5 лет назад

Yes please! Interior and lighting videos!

@freddiellavore839 5 лет назад

Hi Mike, I really love your videos especially since I bought my 2019..I bought both Prinsu rack and light bar per your influence. Did you ever put out the wiring install video? Keep up the great vids, I’m certainly a big fan

@earlmonteclaro9833 5 лет назад

Thanks for sharing your review and tips on using the Prinsu rack, Mike! Great job on the video. I'm still debating whether to get a Prinsu or a Front Runner roof rack. I do like how the Prinsu is very low profile; it can help to clear the garage gate where we live. However, getting a FRO roof rack to match the FRO bed rack setup I have on the Diamondback cover can allow for easier transfer of items back and forth between them.

@oscarortiz365 3 года назад

Very good point about the light not being flush with the rack. You are definitely right about that, thx for mentioning it. Now I have to think about that and choose carefully about want kinda of light and rack to get. Thx again.

@gerryjimenez6125 5 лет назад

I have a 2019 Tacoma TRD off road I just ordered the same rack in your video.when you placed the silicone seal then the bushings to mount the rack is there a piece of oem weatherstripping in the middle of the two bolt holes in the front and rear mounting locations? How close should the custom cut weather stripping come to the bushings that the rack rests on? Great video! Please do some videos on how to wire in the light bar and grill mounted led light! Thanks again for sharing your expertise. You have a beautiful truck!

@jordancompton2319 5 лет назад

Nice video! Is that a channel rack system you have for your bed rack? I love your rack system on the diamondback and I'm looking to do something similar but I want to make it so I can take it off and it be relatively flush when I am not using the RTT. I know you have alot going on, but can you do a video on that updated setup?

Mike, I didn’t see your bumper until this video. It looks great and sturdy. What type is it?

@cmcer1995 4 года назад

I really like this video about this roof rack and how you can mount various pieces of equipment. Do they make this same rack for the Tundra? I recently bought a 2006 Double Cab with a Leer topper and I want to mount roof rack like this on the cab too. I do plan on using some of your videos to upgrade mine. Thanks for your continued educational vids.

@Th3unknownuser111 5 лет назад

@n6xrf 4 года назад

I am looking for where to get the external loops, I think you called them rope tie downs with threads bolts that replace the screws that hold the the cross members of the rack. I went to the Amazon page, but did not see them there. Hoping they will fit the Cali raised off road roof rack I am installing, looks similar to yours, but has lighting cutouts for the side and back. Slightly taller than yours

@remi1213 5 лет назад

I would like to know if we can install a thule motion box on this rack and another kind of box Yakima, or Thule, etc. I ask that because the rack seem to be really close of the top! Thanks you to take time to answer me :)

Just got a 2019 Taco off road and found your channel. Giving me all kind of ideas. In some ways I think the worse thing about getting it is now I want to mod it out. Ugh. I’ve moved back from Colorado to Wisconsin so I want to be realistic in my needs and POU. Thoughts?

@LastLineOfDefense 5 лет назад

Really depends what you're wanting to do.

@natewolff132 5 лет назад

@Sam0rama 3 года назад

Do you need to get additional weather stripping or just the cab rack? Prinsu website shows you can get noise reducing edge trim for $15, is this necessary?

@philipjohnson4915 5 лет назад

Did you have to up grade any thing electrical like battery or alternator and bigger gauge wires

@markpeer9084 5 лет назад

Is this rack resistant to road salt? Overall any of your gear get damaged by road salt? Sadly this is a major consideration in upstate NY

@Vadereas 4 года назад

I really liked the video!

@ChadChinchilla 5 лет назад

When you do the lighting video if you can show the output from those square pojectors. I need to get new headlights because I broke the adjuster but currently I'm thinking about the ones Tacomabeast has but hasn't released yet because I'm not a fan of the square projectors. But if they aren't awful I may reconsider.

Ayeee! look at those Baja Designs S2s and Squadrons! I work with like 8 other guys in Bajas headquarters building all the lights! Ive seen the difference between each offroad lighting company lights and i can honestly say baja designs has the best usage of our lumens with the LED bulbs.

Hey Mike, I also bought one but I took it off due to it crazy wind noise. I'm curious if your is bearable or what you did to keep it down? Thanks

@LastLineOfDefense 5 лет назад

The rack alone adds very little windnoise for me... Granted my truck is already lifted with some other accessories, etc - but adding the rack, I noticed almost no difference. When I have stuff up on it, it's louder though.

@ingmarmaul4464 5 лет назад

Nice Rack, like the Tacoma, but not easy to buy or maintenance in Germany, and still looking for a low profile rack for my European size pickup. Decided to build one by my own, are you able to measure the thickness of the aluminum sides (Main Rack mount) and reply to me. Thank you in advance. P.S. at the moment it is also cold Herr around 25F

@benjamincook9963 5 лет назад

2 years and 45k miles on my '17. I have not had this issue.

@lukebrothers8748 5 лет назад

What about wind noise? Also did you do any extra weather stripping for noise and etc? Thanks man.

@LastLineOfDefense 5 лет назад

Yeah you can order a small weather strip thing to put at the bottom of the fairing. I've always used it on mine, so I'm not sure of the noise without it - but with it, the noise is minimal.

@chrisfranco1017 4 года назад

Would you trust you tent to be mounted on that? I’ve been looking at both the prinsu rack and a truck mounted tent and was wondering if it could hold the static weight if I’m bouncing around on some dirt roads

@LastLineOfDefense 4 года назад

For me, I wouldn't feel all that comfortable mounting a heavy tent on really bumpy roads long term on any roof rack. People do it all the time though, so it's probably fine.

@kylebacher8074 5 лет назад

Just came across your post great video and tips. Taking parts list to build my own roof rack. The price of the aftermarket item I'm sure I can build one cheaper. Right now the parts list is less than $200 just the labor to build.
