Installation of Prinsu Roof Rack

Be careful with step bits. They come in different diameters so counting the increments could way off what you want.

Depending on where you are located, there is a store that I get all my fasteners/bits in Vancouver and they have all sorts of Riv nuts and tools.

Dealing with the drip gutter will be fun. It seems that Toyota put down a softer material to cover the welds in the tracks and then painted it with the same paint as the body. Try to work out how the install will impact this area and plan to seal it up during the install. You can check this material and situation out just by looking at your truck and touching it, just be careful not to disturb the paint. If you are using a riv nut, you might need to clear this away from the hole to allow for the riv nut to compress on the body metal on the top and bottom.

I Hope it works out for you!

 

Thanks very much for these tips Peter. I’ll continue with my research and post how it goes if and when I proceed.
