Roof Rack on Cab

Gotcha, yeah there are now just a total of four mounting feet into the truck (8 total holes). This is going to be plenty burly given I also reduced the length accordingly.

Got it. I think I wouldn’t be able to do the same since the Tundra DC rack only has 4 mounting feet to begin with and I would be trimming off the back one so I’d only have the front two left. That probably wouldn’t work too well unless I figured out how to move the rear mounting foot forward.

Yeah that would definitely take more ingenuity. After receiving the Prinsu rack, I can say that I would be comfortable with pretty much any other company’s rack that is similar. The 80/20 is 90% of the rack and is straight off the shelf. Not sure if there are other options for the Tundra dc, but I wouldn’t shy away from them if so.

I would like to see some photos of your rack on rig and some while your doing the work.

nope, I asked him. he needs to have a colorado to do the measurements

Finished mounting my modified Prinsu cab rack on the Colorado today. Word to the wise: use a step bit made for metal rather than drill bits. After blowing through multiple normal bits, I switched over to a step bit and it made my life so much easier. 3/8” is pretty much the right size for the plusnut.

I spoke with upTop Overland weeks back and they mentioned they would be developing a rack for GFC owners. Can’t wait for this to happen. Here’s their rack builds.

We have been doing some testing. We now have a rack out for Jims custom camper, a GFC camper that has yet to be tested much as the truck it’s on is sitting on jack stands atm. Then we just sent a rack on a month-long trip in front of a Vagabond Camper.

NYCO, do you have a picture of how you mounted your road shower to the prinsu habitat rack?

haven’t found a good solution yet…

So I’ve been looking around for a rack that works on a double cab long bed (DCLB) as there is less camper overhang on this set up. The Prinsu Habitat is too short and leaves a big gap. Others seem too long and would need to be trimmed. The Martin Offroad Camper Rack is designed for either a short bed or long bed tacoma and Gage said they have a longer camper rack designed for the DCLB roof that uses the tacmona factory mounting points. The Sherpa Animas (version D) also fits the DCLB with a GFC - so my question is, has anyone put The Martin Camper Rack or the Sherpa Animas on a DCLB and noticed either an increase in gas mileage or a degrease in gas mileage? As this is my daily driver, MPG matters to me more and I’m wondering if the rack helps to direct air over the camper or if it just creates more drag (without anything mounted on the rack, like on the way to work).
