Prinsu Pro Roof Rack Height?

[JackedAcctnt]

Can someone with the Prinsu Pro Roof Rack list the height of the roof rack please? Surprising that I can't find this anywhere online.

I have an OEM roof rack currently on my 6th gen and am looking to upgrade. However, I have maybe about an inch or so of extra clearance in my garage since I have an overhead garage storage rack installed on my ceiling.

In other words, I want to know if the Prinsu rack is higher than the OEM rack (4.5 inches high) to know if I can still park in my garage or not.

Thanks!

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 above the rear roof surface. The side rails sit about 1/4 inch higher than the crossbars, so the overall rack height is approximately 3 9/16 inches above the rear of the roof.

I have not confirmed the absolute highest point of the roof itself. Determining that precisely would require placing the vehicle on level ground with the rack removed and measuring with a long level. Based on typical roof geometry, the highest point is likely closer to the center for water runoff, but that is an assumption. I could have also just measured at each crossbar if the RTT was not in the way. (For your purposes, I assume you could just drive your 4Runner into the garage, watching carefully to see the closest point).

My 4Runner has a leveling lift installed, which causes the vehicle to sit slightly higher in the front than a stock configuration. It is also worth noting that the shark fin antenna is approximately 2 1/2 inches higher than the roof surface, so relative to that reference point, the rack sits only about 1 1/16 inches higher. I removed the factory Toyota crossbars when installing the Prinsu rack and did not measure their height.

I haven’t measured my Prinsu Pro rack. If you can’t find that information online I’m assuming you want someone with one to measure.

Thank you, this was helpful. Sounds like at the highest point of the prinsu rack does not exceed the highest point of the OEM roof rack when installed

Correct
