Ordered a 7/8 rack
My rack is set to arrive tomorrow... I understand it's an easy install, but did you do anything extra, such as sealing? I've uninstalled and re-installed my OEM rack, but wasn't sure if I should do anything extra here.
I like my 7/8th rack a lot. It is easy to install, lightweight, low profile, and easy to bolt things to it (just use 1/4 carriage bolts from home depot, and 1/4 eyelet nuts from amazon.).
I kind of regret not getting the full length rack, mainly because after hanging out at the fastener aisle at home depot, its really easy to fab a no drill solution for the full length, and I have been thinking about a RTT in the future, and the full length is probably more versatile if you were going the RTT route. Honestly, this is only a fleeting moment, because I do love my 7/8 rack. There is only 1 con about it, and it has to do with light bars.
If you have to mount a light bar, your light bar is going to sit really high above the fairing, or you will have to take off the fairing all together. Also, running the wires for the lightbar won't be as "clean" as a full size rack would. If I were to run a lightbar, I'd probably run it without the fairing so the rack can be as low of a profile as it can. I haven't figured out how to run the wires cleanly.
The 3/4 was never on my radar, if I wanted that size, I'd probably modify my OEM rack to accept a platform, and use U bolts to bolt it to the OEM side rails, and save a bunch of money.
One con of PRINSU racks in general: They use rectangular side rails, which makes it difficult to find off the rack solutions to bolt things to the side rails themselves (like awnings, or high lift jacks or maxtrax) off the side of the truck without you buying brackets/kits from other manufactures, and then having to throw all the mounting fasteners out, and running to home depot and replace it all with 1/4 fasteners, and bolts. I have now bags and bags of fasteners.....lol.......its annoying but its something you should know if you like prinsu's design... You give up some function for form/aesthetics.
Also, I'd buy it powdercoated from Prinsu. I bought mine bare, and it was a bear to rattle can all those pieces and it still looked like crap, and it costed just as much or more to get it powdercoated locally. Some people complain about prinsu's powdercoating, but trust me man, its not any better to do it yourself/locally.
