Made the same mistake with the Prinsu, then the brackets would pop off. Ours is sitting in a pile in the garage, got a Frontrunner roof rack and it works amazingly well. Keep on a rockin!
I actually sold mine. Wasn’t using it for its purpose and I actually like the slick look. I got it to mount a rooftop tent but later found out the GFC ones have a gutter mount so I wouldn’t need the rack anyways
Consider a capable off-road tent trailer. You will quickly find that having to tear down your tent every time you want to move the vehicle sucks, big time. Go clam-shell if you're set on a roof-top, and get a light one. You really do feel that weight up there in off-camber situations. Very clean truck, though. Congratulations on the acquisition.
Thank you! I appreciate the recommendations. Definitely will go clam shell route.
@@shootandcruise You bet, man. How are your brakes? 80s are notorious for a soft pedal and less-than-stellar braking but you may have gotten lucky with yours. It's a pretty easy fix.
@@timarcher4863 mine feel really soft, but I don’t ever really put myself in a situation to have to slam on the breaks. I probably should add that to the list
looks good
Thanks!
Love the versatility of that sleeping platform design.
Yeah, it’s super sturdy too.
Such A Beautiful Car ❤️
I agree!
@@shootandcruise That's On Of My Favourite And Dream Car Bro
Can’t wait to go camping!!!!!
Soon!
Dude awesome 80. Awesome work on the platform! @dirtcruiser is an awesome dude!
Yes he is. Thanks man!
Looks like you are off to a good start. Look forward to seeing all the updates.
Thanks 👍
Keep the updates coming!! At this rate you’ll be safari certified by summer
Hope so!
Awesome work. The welding on the rack is definitely disappointing. Hopefully the manufacturer doesn't skimp out and change how they are manufactured.
Yeah I agree. If I knew how to weld, it’d be a simple fix
Before you commit to a roof top tent, try an awning room tent. I say this because it’s a very inexpensive way to have shelter and a tent if you’re out and about with the family. I then you can maximize your camping storage from there.
If you’re serious, have a plan for the entire family. I would say recovery, shelter and storage should be maximized for everyone as a whole. Way too many people start out with platforms before they even do anything. Have a realistic game plan and prioritize things from there.
Thanks for the input! I’ve had my eye on some 270 degree awnings
Super disappointed in those welds.
I agree. I sold it to someone. Wasn’t using it and found out GFC makes mounts that go directly to the gutter for RTTs (which was my whole purpose of buying a roof rack)
Great stuff bro!! That Prinsu is nice!! I need one too. Cant wait to see your rig after the OME are installed! Thanks for sharing! 🤙🏼
Thanks a lot man! Trying to get my complete list of tools and parts for all the “while you’re in there” stuff for the oil pump, main seal fixes
@@shootandcruise i get you man, I haven’t done my inventory too just coz i know my LC is just sitting in the driveway and haven’t really seen the road after my dad retired 2 years ago. Plus he didn’t drive this rig in hard terrains. When i find the time im gonna have to do the same. See what I need to replace for being a 23-year old rig.
Nice!
Bowfin racks all day long.
@@timarcher4863 yeah learning that now, but it’s just the mounts. I’ll get them welded up at some point
What’s the total length of the bed?
What’s the mileage on the beauty?
159,000. It had 154,000 when I bought it
Hell yeah brother
Thanks!
Did you just remove the center bars on the stack roof rack, and keep the main bars?
I had to remove the whole rack.
@@shootandcruise Thanks, I heard that you could keep the two main bars saving the patch need. Though when looking at it, I thought it looked to low.
@@MrMcgoo33 I didn’t end up actually trying to put the prinsu on over. I just eyeballed it and it was a “there’s no way” situation.
