    No noise difference. Mainly came down to value and availability. The prinsu is in stock and comes with a really nice wind fairing.

    Nope - just square footage. The prinsu is significantly longer and goes edge-to-edge. In fact I moved all of my old accessories for the 8020 rails right to the prinsu.

    I have 4 roof rails for sale with hardware. Willing to ship on buyer's dime!

    the oblong nut just slides into the roof rail channel.

    Glad it was helpful! I don’t have an RTT so don’t have much more to add other than you’d have a hard time fitting much between the bars and the roof.

    Yes - but - there won't be much room under the rails, especially in near the center of the roof where it crowns.

    Measure the distance between your roof rails and order to length. There isn’t much else to it! As others have shared here - there are numerous ways to mount to your rails.

    Yup. Bought a cheap harbor freight bench grinder just for it. Takes literally 2 minutes.

    bars mount to brackets, brackets have hardware the slide into rails.

    Great questions. For my use I’m not sure I would change anything. I’ve had my roof box fully loaded, maxtrax, plywood, etc etc and the cheap fasteners were fine. If I were to put more weight up there, say an RTT, I would come up with a more substantial attachment to the roof rail channels...

    I did! I put some on last summer and haven’t had any issues.

    I ordered the eye-nuts from frontrunner - but others have found cheaper / more elongated on mcmaster-carr. The carraige bolts were from my local hardware store.

    MaxTrax pins are gigantic in diameter - I had to drill holes. I've since moved to carriage bolts with eye nuts. They slip into the extrusions no problem.

    This is awesome! I feel you on the hardware. I want something a little more robust, as I've had to re-tighten mine a couple of times now.

    the ARB bracket should just bolt up? I haven’t tried it but it’s just two bolts on the roof rack side.

    I run them alone now. 4 bars. There is some wind noise at 75+ mph but it’s not bad.

    You are right. Gobi claims a 300# safe driving load limit and 800# static. The owners manual for my 570 and the TLC state to not exceed 154# “on the roof luggage carrier”. Somebody smarter than me weigh in. My assumption is the load limits are based on the roof and not the rack.

    This is untrue. The roof has a maximum static load capacity whether or not you are using OEM rack or aftermarket. Im not aware of any after market racks that require additional mounting holes to be drilled. Most use the three factory attachment points.

    My experience so far: As someone pointed out earlier, there is a different 8020 profile that is slightly bigger that will more easily accept slide-in Front Runner accessories. The series I use requires a few mm to be shaved off of most carriage bolts / button-head bolts I drove about 70 miles...
