Hold up! Really, what's the reasoning for the change? I got on to this rack because it was like the one on Boxrockets. Yes, thanks for the heads up. I'd like to see the difference too.

I think they went taller because of the factory roof ribs? Prototype wouldn't clear them?

This is what he told me when I set this upI ordered. I got in on the group buy.
Does anyone know when these are shipping? I haven't bothered emailing, I'm in no rush, and I know Zach's busy with these orders.
I just need to know when to tell the wife...
PRINSU Design Studio is a one man operation that Zach does on top of a full time day job and family life. Typical lead times on normal orders are usually 4 weeks. With the added volume of a group buy those lead times will likely increase and delivery of racks could take up to 6 weeks. If you are not OK with these lead times please do not order. PRINSU will make every effort possible to ensure quick and speedy delivery but appreciates your flexibility and patience.
4-6 weeks -ish... OK by me. I was #20 ... so you first few need to post up when you get yours. I will tell her then.
I'll take anyone's place if you decide you can't wait for the lead time, I am not in any rush. I will make any arrangements necessary. I would need a 80 series.

6 week lead time...PERFECT! Actually a good thing for me as it gives me time to remove stock roof rack, deal with holes, and figure out how to paint/cover that faded paint up there. Raptor Liner, Monstaliner, Flat Black Spray, or hey maybe even PlastiDip and I can peel off later for a more permanent method.
Been Staring at that Rack for a while
Group Buys are crucial!

Has anyone received any tracking or shipping info yet?? Just curious. I ordered 7/11
6-8 weeks............you need to work on your math.
Wait, what? You didn't get yours yet???
No, my math is good. I know it's been 30 days. I was just curious. Didn't think I'd get reamed for it. I'm in no rush.
And for the record. It says it could
take UP TO 6 weeks to ship. I didn't see anywhere that it says 8 weeks.
My experience is people will jump in and let you know when their's ships. It's kind of a rite of passage for the first people to post pictures of their goods. Patience....

Small business; massive order, probably under estimated the time. Life happens... 6-8 weeks puts us buyers at the beginning of September.
However I wouldn't start worrying until September 31st...
(waiting to see if there is a reply to this...)
Quality takes time; more than happy to wait for a top notch product.

Funny thing is, I had the same thought this morning and I went to check to see how long it's been.
I bought mine at the beginning of March and didn't get it until end of April....and that wasn't during any kind of group buy. I definitely think its worth the wait, but Zach is one guy, so don't be surprised if its 3-4 months for some of the big group buy orders.
I bought mine a year ago and have used it extensively. It's light, sleek and there's a lot of utility.
I do not know the fabricator but I had communication with him several times and all I can say is he is going to get it done and do his best on timing. He's a doer. With that said I would suggest one contact point for him to provide updates. He's probably the CEO, trash taker outer, boss, lacky, fabricator, supply chain all in one.
Here are some suggestions after you get your Prinsu based solely on my observations:
1. Sand some the edges of the outer rack, the water jets cut like a hot knife through butter and can create sharp edges.
2. Purchase some edge trim rubber for the front of the rack to prevent scratching or rubbing into the hood. (See pic 3 and 4).
3. I plasti dipped mine black and it looks good.
@ zona : thanks for the tips.
Update: Zack is supposed to get all the parts from the laser cutter today. If all goes well, he'll start shipping as early as the end of next week.

Count me in on the roof top tent, I would also like to start another group buy for prinsu roof rack.
