As some one that has one of these racks, was in round two of the initial rack. Still happy with it. The only problem I have had was the wrong hardware got sent which was fixed by @dogfishlake with out asking and the powder coating flaking on the sharp corners. But the flaking is minimal and I bet it's way better as he has many more in service now. Will buy another one when I get another truck!!

Haha you got me so excited. I've been checking everyday and when I quickly scrolled and seen that there was a new post I got my hopes up! Anticipation is killing me! Know I gotta be quick and don't wanna miss out.

I had hoped by now but it isn't quite there yet. I have a new set of side rails to work with this weekend that get me closer to the goal. Also, I am trying a new set of wider cross bars for this. The 60 roof is a bit wider and while it would be nice to offer something that can fit it all, it really isn't going to happen and still look good IMO. Still, I should have the 60 version up on the website for sale before the month is out!

The hook at the front looks like a limb catch and I like the mounting hardware in the bowfin better. Just looks cleaner to me.

Mounting clamps are better on the Bowfin but they were recently updated on the Prinsu. I was torn between the 2 but at the time I was able to get the Prinsu for $300 less so that settled that. 😁
 
Any update on these for the 100 series @dogfishlake ? I am in the market and want to go this route over the prinsu/front runner route.

I checked on/off for weeks and emailed 3 different times with no response so Prinsu for me and happy with my purchase.

Non-communicative vendors is a red flag. Nice product but we have all seen the bad vendor issues with respect to communication.

How much did you get your prinsu for? I am hesitant to go with a less custom design for 1k, but for 850 or so I could be convinced.

$9-950 if I recall

Not sure I understand what you mean by "less custom design". Prinsu was around first. Dogfish looks to be a knockoff. I understand the clamps are nice but Prinsu redesigned their clamps and they work great

I was under the impression the 100 series didn't get that clamp design same as the 80 did. I am located close to bowfin, and it is preferable to buy local in my book, but I am also an hour from victory 4x4 - so I could go that route as well. Prinsu / CBI just strike me as bigger companies. That could be a good thing in a lot of cases for sure.
