    Got my Prinsu on. Love it. I got it on solo, and I do not recommend this. Call a friend.

    Flux capacitor!
    Nice! Looks great! I installed mine solo and it wasn’t bad at all. What I did was lay a moving blanket over the camper shell first. Install the six mounting brackets on the three rails first and left them loose so they can slide from side to side. Then I slide the three rails with the mounts on them on to the camper shell rails. Then I measured to make sure the overhangs were the same from side to side on the three main rails. I tightened the bolts from the top of mounts to the bottom of the rails. Installed the side rails next and I left those bolts loose so I could fit all the other rails in between the side rails. This is why I laid the moving blanket on the camper shell. You can simply lay the rails on the shell while you install them. After all the rails are installed now I tighten up all the side bolts. Now the whole rack is tightened on the sides and the tops of the mounts to the bottom three main rails. If you have the bolts loose on the bottom of the brackets that go into the camper shell rails, you can slide the whole rack forward or backwards pending your personal preference. This is how I did it and it would out very smooth. Just trying to help anyone who wants to do the install solo.

    Nice! Yeah. Since no instructions included I watched YouTube to make sure I put the right bolts in the right place...and followed how the guy built it. Which was for a Tacoma and probably smaller and lighter but I put painters tape along the rails to no scratch..but it’s just an awkward platform on a tailgate kind of thing. Nice write up tho! That will help the next guy!
