- Ive been looking for a low profile cab rack for my Tacoma. And I settled on Prinsu. It seemed to offer the best platform with the lowest profile, and a light bar... even if it is kind of expensive: prinsudesignst... This video is not sponsored. Just a fun project video.

Very nice. Especially enjoyed the drone shot
sadly his tyres are looking a little worse for the wear..
Why don't he tells he has a second Chanel on the main chanel
He does
Hey what’s inside family I watch you and I love your vids
Lol
Hey Zach you should wrap your Tacoma with a skin that shows the internals of the truck. Kinda like your phone skins.
never

OMG that would be great. Good ideea
You remind me of a very competent maintenance tech I knew in the Air Force. It's rare to see someone take the "more complicated, but better path" rather than the easiest one.
You could try putting a thin strip of rubber under the mounting bracket, better safe then sorry, Love the vids btw
That way you would guarantee that everything shakes all time. Better to just mount a rack that is not wrongly made.
I was constantly watching my TH-cam for new video from someone

I thank you so much for this install and noticing the "closeness" of the rack tho the roof. I bought and installed more trim (similar to the wind trim) to each piece on the roof. Gotta protect the paint. Wouldn't have known had you not noticed it
Normally people that install them professional install rubber pads under those mounts because of vibrations and to prevent damage. Might be something to consider
Love the build. These trucks are the best. durable and safe as hell. My Tacoma literally saved my life last February
nice quick video! I've seen others where they take a good 30 mins and don't explain cutting the holes in the weather stripping as simplistic as you did, thanks a bunch!
Before I wanted a Prinsu, but now UpTopOverland's Alpha roof rack looks to be much more functional while looking much more rugged. With side scenelights and those nifty grab handles. Been following them since their start up. They talk with the community often and seem to be more open to feedback. If only I had the money to afford it... Someday.
If his solar panels don’t start putting out, maybe we will see another Tacoma video!
Thx much for the video. Prinsu’s instructions link was dead. Loved the way you cut and drilled the weather stripping. Turned out great on my truck. Thank you!
6:52 Those who are watching for the first time be like :- OMG! What's going on
But for me it was funny as hell seeing two Zacks together 😂
That top down drone shot for the roof rack placement at 6:10 was clever and badass!
Thank you for not just hacking the weather stripping to pieces. I cannot believe people rip things apart during an install, hack off useful pieces of the truck and just call it a day. That's shoddy workmanship and in this case would also leave unacceptable points for water to pool on the roof and eventually work its way into the roof of the vehicle.
I had the same roof rack! Loved it miss my taco!
Why did you get rid of the taco?
7:13 i see you dismantle @ChrisFix Hummer
yea hahahhaaha
No, its not long enough! LOL. We need more and longer of these type of videos. We all love them. Truck looks great!
Nice! As another comment said…I’d put a small piece of door edge guard on that front bracket.
Really confuse at 6:52, who am I seeing? Love the weather strip work around.
I always love watching your Tacoma videos, I've driven a 2000 ranger for a long time and you really have made me want to work towards trying to get a Tacoma for myself. Love your videos on this channel
Nice work Zack, away love watching your videos, weather it is killing phones or making work benches, very informative, Melbourne Australia is in stage 4 lockdown and your videos are a nice pick me up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘
Congrats on doing the first six-seat mod on the taco!
Zack, just ordered a 2021 and glad I stumbled across your channel. Thank you for all the info!
Hey Zack hope your having a great day!
The part of the video that I really liked was when you were on both sides of the truck tightening down the bolts in the front of the rack. The suggestion of the silicon is very smart. I didn't get to see what type of silicone you used but I would hope it is non-corrosive. Something like an aquarium grade silicone. Being under the weather stripping like you won't be able to see if it starts to corrode.
Few things there the roof rack mounts to the truck there are spacers to lift the mounts off the roof and you’re supposed to silicone the holes
It's a huge pain, but I think I agree with you Zack, and I'd remove the whole thing and cut back those front brackets.
B channel is the best channel! 👊👍
Finally a truck update
Love what you did with the weather stripping ❤
I would love a Prinsu for my Land Cruiser. They are sweet looking racks.
I was checking for better options but definitely, prinsu is the best option when it comes to Quality-Price.
Epic moment when I discovered you own a badass Taco!!
This channel lives!
I love your truck so much, it is so nice and keep up the good work!
Not bad 47. Now you just have to have a compartment for the sniper rifles and plastic explosives.
I like that the roof rack is basically just 8020 t-slot. Kind of wish it were cheaper because of that.
Wish they would provide some extra weatherstripping to place along the edge of those front mounts. Great video and likely will be getting this soon.
You should put a bit of rubber under those brackets as you're correct, they may damage the paint, which could lead to rusting.
I have a solution for that (referring to time stamp @ 7:01 )
Use plasti dip two coatings make a nice rectangular mark size to if heavy items were to be loaded the brackets won’t chip the paint, it will rest on the plasti dip coating
I don't care what you build, I just like to watch you while eating
Those rails look like 80/20 aluminum. They have a ton of different profiles on their site if you want to mod your roof rack.
The Tacoma is my dream truck love the color
Now you can drive around with the roof rack empty and look sooooo tacticool!
I've not heard the term tacticool in years 😂🤣
this helps alot i was worried about have to drill holes in my cab to mount one
Good vid. IMO, 3/4" is too snug for the spacer hole size. At that size the spacers are super tight, and in that case you have to be exact in order to line up with the holes. My installation was a PITA because of that.
Finally, another Tacoma vid!
How about putting some slim strips of rubber under the two front mounts so that when the roof rack is loaded they don't directly touch the roof and possibly damage the paintwork or dent the roof?
Good call
@@JerryRigEverything What did you end up doing? Seems a bit too close for comfort. Do you think it's due to some of the weather stripping missing? I'd be interested in what Prinsu has to say as I want one for my 2015 TRD
They should have included a rubber gasket for those brackets so it won’t ever touch the paint. For what they charge it’s crazy they don’t include simple things like those or even instructions.
Right?! I agree
JerryRigEverything just put some washers and you’re good to go!
Nice hummer, bro. Great video. Great product.
Quality content as always dude, I wish everyone had the same epic video quality you do!! ;)
Still waiting for the light bar mounting vid
We love this 💖
Whichever uploaded 😁
Zack: I'm by myself
* Proceeds to clone himself *
Have a look at 3m scotch 2228 mastic tape. Would be ideal to go under the front supports so it doesn't scratch your paint.
I would put foam tap for the front bracket in case it touches the paint.
Man I was confused when I saw two Zack jerry rig's
Man I love following these videos! I live locally in Utah valley. Let’s take our rigs and head for the hills!
Oh wow its the Humvee!
why not make a bicycle wheel tray for it .
then you put the front wheels in and they can also not damage your roof.
with a stopper in it that the wheel cannot go any further.
and with a lock or wheel clamp.
with kind regards Hollandduck from the Netherlands
We'll wait for next video patiencely 😉

Um where are your spacers to lift it off the roof? My prinsu is about half an inch from my roof...
We want to see a video on your red tesla roadster
A video about that Humvee in the back would be nice
Cut those mounts back paint it and use door edge guard to make it look clean
Yay more tacoma mods!
I think it would be cool the change the interior of the car in one that looks more with a Tesla. Zack owns the Tesla Cybertruck 2 generation.
Thanks for teaching a genius like me something
Zach’s been on Tacomaworld too much lately haha
I know your working on that sexy hummer but I miss these tacoma videos! Might as make this electric while your at it lol.
The good ole Anna Tana
Hi jerry have fun
Great video
Well done and super appreciated!
I got a Tacoma too. Might need to cop that’s hot af
I'm more curious about that stripped down H1 in the background... :D
I think their is a hummer behind the frame
I have a question - why do cars have that weather stripping on the roof? My old Mitsubishi had it too but my current Audi A4 does not. Cars look better without that weather stripping, so why do cars need it?
With the attention to detail that you put into your work fixing smart watches found in lakes, to that awesome Offroad wheelchair you had built I had to save this video since I’ll be picking up a Prinsu Rack for my Ram this BF.
The only thing I’ll do differently is wrapping my roof satin black since it will be harder to clean with the rack over-landing gear. I also contacted Prinsu techs they mentioned the possibility of interference with the antenna and metal rail, have you had any issues?
I could so use those drip rail mouldings....
Jerry Rocks😂😎
I'm from Kolkata, India & in love with Tacoma pickup trucks!!! sadly it's not available anywhere else other than the US & certainly not available in RHD (because India is RHD, adapted from British colonial rule in the 1900s)!!! what a pity??? take care of the truck (which I'm sure you do)!!!
Тачка - супер! Багажник - огонь!
any plan to "play around" with your the rig zack? it'll be cool to see how you customize those
6:51 I thought you said you had no help. Clearly you and yourself both installed this
Would you mind doing an update on the solar system? We are having ours installed next week
I'm going to do a one year update. Its still going good though!
I bought this same Prinsu (Brand) for my 2017. It was disappointing the crossbars blow and flex terribly (Tundra is wider then Tacoma) with 2 35lb aluminum trek bikes. So much so that they touch the roof of the tundra. Contacted Prinsu there was nothing they could do. Didnt seem to be very interested in remedying the situation. I was able to turn two of the cross beams in their side (narrow side) which made them stiffer. Helps some. But way over priced. The cross beams are common stock sold for many applications only the sides and wind shield are Prinsu specific
Aren’t these trucks meant to have mounting points? JLR products have snap off plastic for it.
Looks great! How’s this rack work if I was gonna strap a kayak on top….?
Love your videos zack sorry I’m sooo late
I have but one question: What's up with that humvee in the back?
Thank you so much for this video. Just one question, how is the noise after the install?
hey man, nice work! You can use a file to remove some metal in the front supports and create a clearance to the paint ;)
Good choice on tools.
Did you use silicone with the OEM rack you took off?
What about the cyber truck
wrap your truck's hood with the skin that shows the internals
Excellent topic
As is saw the two Jerry's working on the roof, I really want to see your video editing workflow :)
