Another Full-Length Roof Rack Option -PrinSu

As far as the front mounts, maybe we can come up with a less permanent and less leaky solution. Something like - just kinda brain storming here - clear bra patches then epoxy aluminum pads to them. The stuff sticks like crazy and some epoxies will bond with urethane. It really only needs to support weight, not really hold the rack in place. A nice wide strip to cover from side to side along the front and a wide foot that sits across the entire front of the roof would give you wide weight distribution and lots of purchase.

Expanding cleats, IIRC that channel has ribs in it. A hard rubber mount molded to the contour with a offset nuts to twist and lock it in place (LOL like Ikea :D )
 
Hear anything ?

Yep, bolts in, definitely strengthens the rack and ties everything together. I was working on the 3/4 rack this weekend, got the RTT mounted up for a trip coming up. Probably be a little while before I get back to the full length rack.

Talked to Zach over the weekend, he is working from the info I've been providing for him on another revision.
 
Seems like if it's all cnc cut flat plate it could look a lot better. Has no flow to it. Just looks like flat plates bolted together.
 
Who here owns a Prinsu rack?

Saw a post a while back for a prototype for the 5th gen but does anybody else own one here? Looking into the 3/4 length rack as the full length requires drilling.
 
I've seen a lot of Prinsu racks on Tacos. They look great although I don't know how well they function. Apparently he's a one man show but doing some great things. I look forward to these racks in the future.
 
5th Gen roof rack

I know its been awhile since a post but I was the first fit for the final product of the PrinSu Design roof rack. Here is a side picture and the fron of it installed I snapped from my Phone. It does require drilling 1 hole per side for the front mount with a plus nut. I have not had any leaking issues (used silicone to fill). It has been great so far and I haven't really noticed a MPG drop since it being on.
Zach is a one man team, with that there are lots of Pros and Cons. My experience has been great so far. The new rack is on his site already. Ive been in talks with him about a rear ladder as well, but he is slammed with his day job.

Dont mind the lift, I am trying to figure out why its not closer to level currently. (2.5 in front with bilstein 5100 and 2" toytech springs in the rear) although comments and ideas may help
 
I inquired last week and Zach responded that he has a 3/4 in stock, but no photos. Hit him up and post some pics of the install
