S1CNARF thanks! Appreciate it!

Ray_ 23TRD 🤘🏼

Mark Mollat thanks! The Prinsu is definitely my favorite rack so far

Plus 1.75 inch to the total height of your 4Runner

It doesn't

Looks thin and cheap compared to the OEM rack

@@CP-kb1du It's aircraft grade aluminum. It's not cheap.

Thanks for the update! We might have to do an updated video

I had the same issue. I'm working on my install right now; we'll both see how it is in the next few days!

Party Goose So you will need the strip regardless because of how close the front of the rack sits to your paint. So go to autozone or auto store and get some door trim. It works very well

it seems to be common issue with prinsu missing hardware, i went to install yesterday and was missing all 38 lock washers needed for each roof bar...

@@1CommonView the give you lock tite now it’s part of their instructions now

@@clayboy_20 They give you locktite yes, however instructions still said to use the missing 38 lock-washers.

@@1CommonView the new instructions on their website say that they did away with the lock washers and replaced it with the lock tite. I just finished installing one about 30 seconds ago only reason I knew that they changed it 😅

I forget what they are. Some American Racing wheels on Amazon, super cheap

Machiavelli_ G lol I wish I could

@@Runnin4Tacos same here buddy!

My weather strip flew away on highway. Cannot tell if anything leaked into my roof. I am not sure what the best way to tell that is.

Avery is good, 3M is ok, there's a few other brands

All holes leading inside are filled with silicone

I agree Dylan. One would need to modify the bolt holes on the front bracket to account for the difference in height ( aka the weather stripping still being in place). Only function I see for the front brackets to to support the front end if one was to load the front of the rack with a heavy load...however if one was never panning on adding a heavy load up front they may not even be necessary. It is possible that the front bracket are still a good idea to keep the rack from "ringing"/vibrating as air flow flows around the structure.

I'd see if I could just lay the weather strip over the L-bracket. *shrug*

@@ChemAndAdrenaline Agreed. I think I saw a video where they tucked it under the weather strip and seemed to work fine.

I used construction silicone from Home Depot.

Skycamp and yes it is

butyl tape from home depot, use it two inches before and after oem mount holes poke a small hole where bolts go and then bolt up

A shop did

That silicone fix is a little sketchy, Prinsu should have come up with something better to seal that mount from the elements.

We don't have it anymore unfortunately

@@Runnin4Tacos what happened to it?

@@chewminem2044 ?

Both the drill and non drill use the factory rack holes. The front is where you can either tape the mounts or drill holes and hard mount them. You can switch to a hard mount later if you feel like it’s necessary.

Matthew Bruns there isn’t any interference as it’s modular. Even with the cross bars over the sunroof you can open and tilt. Prinsu has a video explaining this.

It's just a little extra support for the front

No sir but Prinsu may have it on their website

Soft do it gets in between the cracks

Taco Twonz ok what about that metal before the spacers(not the round spacers but flat square ones on the bottom of it) does it come with item or its seperate?

No wind noise, there's a noise trim reducer also

After watching this video and assembling mine on the floor of my garage....this thought hit me as well. I can't imagine doing the sides first then the crossbars would be an issue.

NoPro Dad definitely

yes. Prinsu makes an awning mount. prinsudesignstudio.com/product/prinsu-awning-mounting-brackets/

Right that’s what I was wondering

Apparently you can tuck it underneath. Going to try soon.

Plastic pry tools will do it

What silicone would you suggest to use?

I was wondering what ladder you guys went with as well?

Those are wrangler duratracs

Install side bars first then add crossbars after , do the 3m tape feet last

Not sure but it's probably around 1000lbs static weight or little less

Cristian the weather strip channel creates a gap when the bolts go into the factory holes so the 1” spaces are used to fill the gap so the rack sits properly. A good piece of advice when using the spacers is to make sure you apply silicone around the base of the spacer and the top so it forms a weather seal.

@@crazygooseventures Thank you for the response. Makes sense , when we get our rack we will keep the silcone trick in mind. Any specific silicone? Or do i just go to my parts store and say give me the best silcone you have?

Use automotive or marine grade silicone sealant. In my case living in Canada where I get long winters, I used automotive grade silicone sealant with a wide temp range tolerance. I also used red loctite on the bolts as well. The factory bolts had them when I removed the old rack, so I followed the same protocol when I installed the new bolts.

Sorry we didn't get to list it and it's been so long we don't remember
