I just responded to your question on another post, but I'll copy here in case it's useful for anyone... I assume the question is how high the rack sits above the vehicle, not just the rack’s standalone dimensions. On my 4Runner, the top of the rear crossbar measures approximately 3 5/16 inches...

I assume the question is how high the rack sits above the vehicle, not just the rack’s standalone dimensions. On my 4Runner, the top of the rear crossbar measures approximately 3 5/16 inches above the rear roof surface. The side rails sit about 1/4 inch higher than the crossbars, so the overall...

Backer rod did the trick. 1.5" backer rod up front to eliminate whistling (between the rack's wind deflector and the RTT). And 0.75" backer rod between the RTT mounting rails and the rack crossbars to eliminate the rattling between the RTT and rack (only in two places for me)... The...

I'm going to try backer rod first -- same concept. There's also a little rattling between the RTT and rack, so I'll try some different sized backer rod to help with that too. I might use some silicone help keep the backer rod in place in the front too. If there's still a rattling, I'll reset the...

The RTT caused a whistling noise, so I mounted it more forward which got rid of most of the noise... To get rid of the rest of the noise, I figured out the gap between the front of the rack and RTT needs to be blocked. I temporarily blocked the gap with some packing foam, but I need to find a...

I just installed a Prinsu Pro and it's pretty flush. Mine looks different than yours -- I assume yours is setup to install a light bar. Here's what mine looks like... The only thing I've noticed so far is that this thing whistles like crazy and gets worse at higher speeds. I have a RTT...

Here it is with a Topoak Galaxy Light rooftop tent (RTT) installed on it:

I assume you're seeing the hood-mounted GMRS antenna. The one you see on top of the vehicle, toward the rear, and under the roof rack -- the shark fin -- is just stock equipment (I assume the cell antenna for vehicle tracking and communication services). I posted this a while back, which has...

Here's my lift/wheel/tire setup right now: ReadyLIFT 2.5” SST Lift Kit 69-55250 Method Racing 703 17X8.5 6X5.5 +35 Matte Black MR70378560535 BFGoodrich KO3LT285/75R17/E MSPN 30398 I had these professionally installed at a shop and I don't believe they did any cutting or other mods. I haven't...

Short answer: I use an Insta360 camera to record 360 video. Then I edit the video, setting key frames to pan between, creating the illusion of a narrower field of view (FOV) camera panning. Long-ish answer: Technically, it's not panning at all! ... let me explain (because it's kind of cool...

Fair warning, I write long responses! TLDR: Yes I had to make some adjustments. No I didn't leave a gap between the wind fairing and the vehicle body. There were no major challenges -- it was just time-consuming and cumbersome doing this by myself. I didn't think about installing piece by piece...

I received my Prinsu Pro roof rack yesterday (2025-12-29) and got it installed. I started while it was still light out, knowing it would be dark when I finished, but I wanted to take advantage of the relatively good weather (for this time of year in Colorado). Installation took a while (as...

Thanks. I've got the ORP trim which has cams all around. I use them a lot.

I made another cut of this in a "360 video" mode. For those that haven't seen these kinds of "360 videos", click on the screen and drag around the view to change perspective -- e.g., to follow a vehicle or to look around.

I don't think its just Westcott. One thing I'd like to see all companies do more of is post installation videos. It's helpful to have instructions and diagrams on paper to decipher, but I'm a lot more likely to buy a product if I get to watch someone else install it first. I know this gets...

That was just the rubber hitch plug. I retrieved it and left it off for the rest of that ride. I had a little scraping on the hitch and the front bumper, but nothing too bad. The weather was warm yesterday so I wire brushed the hitch and the part of my front bumper that scraped and touched...

The post on the front is for mounting a camera. It extends so it's higher the the vehicle and I mount an insta360 on it. I record a lot of rides that way so I can watch them later... Sped up and edited.

I don't think most people do it themselves to save money. For me, it's more that I get to inspect everything and have the peace of mind that it was done right. After you have a shop screw up this simple procedure enough times you start to think it's worth doing it yourself. I've also noticed...

No significant damage (that I am aware of). I had some scraping on my front bumper (including the shackle tabs and my winch hook) and my rear bumper (dragging the hitch pretty hard at one point). Surprisingly, I don't remember scraping my skid plates much. Maybe just a couple times, but no hard...

I tripped across this YouTube video of some RCI sliders getting installed here... The hardware is different than I "imagined" (no rivnuts anyway).
