Ah, OK, thanks @Saddletramp . FYI, there's another thing you can get to deal with that sort of issue, called a spherical washer pair (also at McMaster).

I just saw the pictures from your trip in Flickr. Congratulations, it looks like you had an amazing experience with your familyWe had the Prinsu roof rack for road trip in Asia/Europe and it hold pretty well. Sometimes the brackets were getting loose and I had to tighten it little bit but that was all. I would really recommend this roof rack to everybody.

I've usually had the tent mounted closer to the rear of the rack. That has left me room in front for other items on the rack or room to use the sunroof opening.Going to pull the trigger on this rack soon. I read, or scanned all 20 pages here. Great stuff. One question I have left, and its just a matter of preference. are you mouniting RTTs forward or towards the rear of the rack. I saw one matched towards the rear. Question 1+ for the light rack on the 80, is there drilling involved on getting the wiring into the cab?
Thank you.
haha! why!?I hope you have good liability insurance because the way you have that wood secured in the last picture is very dangerous.
haha! why!?
We were in a remote location. No other traffic to worry about. We weren't on public roadways with the wood in that location. It was only put there once we were on the dirt roads. Never saw another person on that trip. Besides it was secured well. We were driving quite fast on rough roads and not a single piece of wood ever moved.
yeah, that pic was a little bit ago. But not that long ago.Looks like this pic was about three hood scoops and several sets of tires ago....(and a bunch of other mods too I'm sure).
I guess the better question is: are you still running that light bar set up that way? Looks like no prinsu cut out wind deflector, and just bolted to the front of the crossbar? I was contemplating that same move recently. Do you get any additional wind noise, I mean assuming you're not carrying a bundle of wood and an RTT, 12 shovels, some axes, an awing and a snorkel? Never-mind, this is a dumb question. LoL.
I took my wind deflector off for a trial run last year and wasn't much worse noise-wise on the highway, but if a lightbar was whistling up there I'd go nuts.
looks awesome!Thanks for all the info on this rack. Got it installed last night with help from Jay Warner family. Really like it... no wind noise, RTT mounted towards the rear. We have a sun roof again!!

Just got a Prinsu rack and browsing this thread. Any recollection of what material pictured you used on the main feet or where you sourced it?I installed a strip of material to the main rails as well:

Comes with it.do the clamps come with the rack or seperate?
You have to take the factory rack off. The runners on the roof you can leave on.Maybe a stupid question, but does anyone know if this will fit with the oem rack installed?
