I need him to make one for the GX....

I didn't realize you had Prinsu, I thought you had FrontRunner.

I put it on this truck because it looked so much better on the 5th Gen than anything else.

FrontRunner is a much better choice if you want to use all the accessories.

Can't wait to see how it looks on the FJ

Holy crap there is a lot of hardware with this rack. Looks like a bag of about 100 screws for the cross members.

I have the same one. You can buy a converter to run it off of a propane bottle, FYI.

Most overland thing ever - complete w limb risers in Publix parking lot

 

[Bodean]

@jrob and @Bossman have Limb risers but they were actually used daily on this trip!

I need to find one of those conversion kits for the one I have.

Step 1 complete. I know the prinsu logo is supposed to be on the right, but there is a ding in the air dam piece that I wanted to hide on the other side.

 

[wngrog]

I had to install mine partially, drill roof holes in the front then pull off and rebuild on the ground. PITA

 

[BMThiker]

No drilling, uses six stock mounting points.
Step 2, remove old junk and give it the one-bucket treatment.

 

[wngrog]

I waxed my roof.

 

[BMThiker]

Two five foot odd about to launch this onto the roof.

 

[BMThiker]

Done!

 

[BMThiker]

Storms we had over the weekend have proven that I didn't c0ck up the install and things are still water tight. Not crazy about these 1" tall spacers that came with the kit. They are easily 3/8" to 1/2" taller than necessary. Below is as low as the air dam will go. Probably a 1.25" gap to the roofline.

Luckily 6 bolts on each side and this pops right off. Might shave them down and remount.

 

[wngrog]

I agree with that on the spacers. I might get mine down too.

I see.......

These overland destinations...... On my horizon.....

Late March/Early April are going to rock.

 

[BMThiker]

Drilled some new holes (and filed a bit to make a small slot and lowered the air dam.

70 parked in San Antonio for a week ...

Then a long trip out west...
