Has anyone found online sources for the tie-down eye nuts that come with the prinsu roof rack?
I'd like to match the galvanized steel oval shaped ones that currently ship with the racks now (December 2019). I'd rather not pay $10 for 2 eye nuts from CBI. I will most likely end up just getting some round SS ones, but figure I'd ask if others were in a similar situation. Yes I've been looking on other forums like tacomaworld

Did you try googling "galvanized eye nut" ?
yes - so far the cheapest I've found is $1.17 per eye nut. I don't think the finish looks the same as the ones shipped with the Prinsu racks (based on the photo). Has anyone purchased from "e-rigging.com" before?

I see "Eye Nuts" that are galvanized just like that on amazon.
welp I just ordered some stainless ones through amazon and they arriving today.
prinsu eye nuts vs amazon eye nuts (stainless)
also roof rack installed, it's great! Totally useful now.

Looks good. Can you send me a link to the eyelets you bought on Amazon. I purchased what I thought was the right ones but they were not.
I got these stainless eye nuts from amazon, 10 pieces for about $10: Amazon.com: Antrader M6 304 Stainless Steel Ring Shape Lifting Eye Threaded Nut 10pcs: Home Improvement
The eye nuts are M6 thread, so I also ordered some M6 carriage bolts from mcmaster as well as M6 washers. Still waiting on the carriage bolts to arrive to verify that everything fits. I chose the 12mm length for the carriage bolts because that is what the Prinsu-supplied carriage bolts come in at. I'll be making a video review of the Prinsu rack soon!
Edit: don’t order those carriage bolts shown above, they don’t fit.
also FYI I believe the Prinsu-supplied eye nuts/carriage bolts are 1/4-20 thread.

The Amazon loops look way better. I wish I did that instead of ordering extras from Prinsu.
The awning I have came with similar L brackets.
I was just going ask Prospeed about their mounting brackets to get my awing on their rack.
This is better and cheaper... I like it.
Anything wrong with the Prinsu awning brackets? I don't have an awning yet, but I ordered the brackets with my rack while 15% off on Black Friday. I'm happy with the rack, so hoping I'll be happy with the awning brackets too.
Nothing wrong with them but they make the awning stick up pretty high
I see that now; shoulda looked at mounted pictures before....
The Prinsu is the rack I'm really starting to lean toward. I've got a question/concern about the fairing though. It looks like it touches the Cruiser at the bottom. It seams like over time that would rub the paint away even with the rubber edging. Similar to what you see on the tailgate of a pickup where the lift gate of the canopy rests. Those of you that have this rack, can you let me know if I should be concerned about that?
