[@JesseRizo]

[@MeynMotorGroup]

That rack looks great! I love how all the subtle changes added to such an epic Tacoma! Also thats nice little red benz in the background haha you guys are balling hard! Fantastic video I wish more people did know what its like to make a youtube video!

[@JesseRizo]

[@SeanAndersonThe9th]

I have gotten some good tips from this channel, I am not real good at do it yourself car care but this channel had helped. Nice work.

[@JesseRizo]

Thank you!!!

[@shutdwn1836]

Rizo! Digging your vids man! I had a 2018 TRD off road and just recently traded it in for a 2021 TRD off Road 4x4 and I’m looking forward to making upgrades in the future myself. I Recently subscribed to your channel and has def opened up many ideas and look forward to stepping up my game like you have in the near future; I’m here in So Cal so looking forward to expanding to the new horizon of off roading. I’m late to the show but better late than never right!? Lol. I’m new to this world so I’m learning a lot from your videos and I appreciate how real you make all your vids. Thanks brotha!

[@grindiousmaximus]

Prinsu is the dopest roof rack imo. Always good to have some bros around to help things go smooth

[@JesseRizo]

I agree man, and heck yea team work makes the dream work 😁 lol!!! Thanks for watching

[@Ruiz562]

Dude. That looks pretty sick🤙🏼. Def a maybe on my list of things to do to my truck. Pretty awesome vid bruh 🤜🏼. Keep em' coming. Happy Sunday Funday.

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks man I’m stoked with it now I can store stuff up there when I go camping lol!!, thanks Danny :)!

[@JustACarGuyNamedTom]

Making this truck ever more personal. It's really starting to take on a good look!

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks man 👍👍👍

[@PracticalPat]

Very good installation man, legit what every holiday man needs for his vacation trips anyways happy holidays, can't wait to see what 2019 brings for you!

[@JesseRizo]

I agree man you can store so much stuff up there lol, Thanks bro

[@jacoe33333]

Do you think it can work drilling holes in the weather strip for the spacers ?

[@JesseRizo]

Yes people have done that

[@reeldealfishing5038]

Here before this channel blows up

[@tacoma_jon]

Prinsu rooftop rack is the best one out there. Hands down 👍🏻👍🏻

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks for agreeing 😁👍 lol thanks for watching my friend

[@lamardebo5340]

Installed this on a ZR2 but we have to drill into the roof. Went through the headliner in one of the holes. What should I watch out for and how can I fix it?

[@GailAttard]

the rack looks terrific have a lovely new year :) :)

[@JesseRizo]

Thank you so much :)

[@BamagirlAmy]

Rack looks great Jesse amazing job merry Christmas

[@JesseRizo]

Thank you :) merry Christmas

[@e1975surf]

do you use any specific glue/silicon/3m/etc for the long roof plastic molding...what do you recommend?

[@rhonbriones2286]

I tried putting the wind deflector at the bottom two and the middle two and i like the bottom two better because of wind noise in the freeway and I notice saving about 1 mpg on gas. Good video brother!

[@JesseRizo]

I was going to do that to I was talking about it off camera lol, thanks for watching my friend :)

[@rogermedrano3617]

I’m having trouble with my oem holes not slowing the screws to go in all the way…

[@geraldjb3994]

With holes pre-existing how likely would it leak if you didn't use enough silicone? Asking cause not sure if I used enough for my 2023 Taco. Definitely not as much as in the vid. Thanks for any advice. Storm is here in socal so a bit worried with the new install.

[@JesseRizo]

You want to use a good amount it’s better to be safe then sorry, if you have a thought u might of not used enough if I was you just to be safe just go back out there and add a little more around the spacers and bolts to be safe

[@natashamc.9520]

Awesome video as always, I have one on my to do list after I get the rest of my armor and my ovtune.

[@JesseRizo]

😁 its an awesome rack in my opinion, that’s awesome when you thinking of doing all that?

[@natashamc.9520]

Jesse Rizo hopefully by the summer. Putting my bumper, winch and all on Saturday. Gotta try to have at least my skids and tent/rack by March for our next event.

[@JesseRizo]

Let me know when it’s the next event yea I’d like to go, [e-mail] please :)

[@ThrifTeeGolf]

Nice video brotha! That rack is hands down the dopest looking one on the market. Btw, tell your homie chris to show us how he did those Raptor lights!!! I have the same grille plasti dipped but was wondering how he set that up lol

[@JesseRizo]

I agree with you man 👍 😎, lol I’ll ask him and see if he’s down but I believe he said there just autozone lights lol 👍

[@ThrifTeeGolf]

@@JesseRizo LOL for sure! I only see videos on the TRD pro Grille with raptor lights, but never with the stock. Would be much appreciated!

[@TheLaughingLion]

This rack system kicks azzz! They actually enhance the look imo. Looks really challenging to install even for me as a former pro mechanic. 🎄🌴😻

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks man I agree :0!!! Thanks my friend it was to bad

[@defendaloha1618]

great video thank you. Does the shark fin antenna extend higher than the rack level on a 2nd gen. Toyota? I am going to put a roof top tent on the rack.

[@ryanmurphy694]

Nice vid! Very detailed looks pretty easy to install. I just wish it wasn’t sooo expensive!

[@JesseRizo]

I tried lol!!, thanks man :)!! And yea it’s a bit up there I’ll be honest lol

[@KeeperOfMemories]

lot of work for sure..but worth it!! looks cool to me!! thanks for sharing how!! merry christmas!!

[@bayareapackleader]

For the bolts going into the top of the truck behind the wind deflecting, do the side rails rest closely to the top the truck? I've heard of people stating that it can scratch up the top of the truck if too much weight is put towards the front of the rack.

[@humbertoperez5537]

Very interesting video Jesse it looks really cool 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks my friend :)

[@indygamertag829]

you could also cut holes into the weathering, push the spacers into the wholes then lay it all back down.

[@ruehem3219]

After watching this video I’m definitely getting one for my 2019 TRD sport

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks for watching 😁🤙

[@409rommel]

Super looking trucks and super video, thats my next purchase! Thanks fellas!!

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks for watching :)!!

[@ThatCrazedGunnerM9130]

I have one coming for my access cab tacoma. I’m absolutely in love with these racks

[@JesseRizo]

Heck yea can’t wait to see ur video on it 👍, I’m there with you it just makes the truck look so beefy then it’s awesome to have more spots to load camping gear lol

[@jcoats5529]

How did you install it? No factory threaded holes on access cab?

[@anthonywhindleton9833]

Great job Jesse. I’m thinking about getting one.

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks my friend, there pretty awesome and now when I go camping I have more room to store stuff lol, Thanks for watching

[@renenavarro4121]

What tool did you used to cut the weather strip?

[@jeffdunehew]

I don't have a prinsu rack yet (ordering this weekend), but for the windscreen, couldn't you have just put all the screws on and left a gap, then just slide them all in? You wouldn't have to worry about lining all of them up then.

[@1joshword]

Hi I know this vid is old but how tall is this rack over the cab ... I want to still be able to fit in my garage and I only have about 5-6” ?

[@geraldjb3994]

Measured mine at 6'2 on a 2023 TRD Pro

[@lizzoid]

The video was great and will help me install mine...Do you think you could drill holes in the drip moulding the size of the spacers?...You can punch holes in the tape instead of removing it and a person could install this by themself by putting on one side at a time.

[@JesseRizo]

Yes if anything that might be better so the drip moulding doesn’t curl up on u in time so yea if u can measure the holes corrctly I’d recommend doing it that way :)

[@alarmsystem3409]

Awesome video man!

[@JesseRizo]

Thank you I appreciate it :)!!!

[@michaeldev5962]

Man your truck looks pretty nice I like the headlight😁

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks my friend :)!!! N those are from Tacomabeast :)!!

[@AB_thingsDFW]

Star bit= torx bit. Great Video

[@timfrancis6774]

love this rack, but not sure what i would use it for quite yet. but love the video. if i get 1 might have to have a ladder handy

[@JesseRizo]

You can use the rack for so many things, camping gear, maxtracs, gun cases, spare tire, equipment, so many things lol, I’m there with you tim I can’t even reach anymore :/

[@louieserrano8952]

Nice video, there is another way of doing the weather strip and that's drilling the measured holes and keeping most of the strip intact , also instead of taking off the tape removing the paint , just poke holes in them thoroughly. P.S. To all the 2nd gen Tacos, the last bar does not need to be upwards for the CabRack at least. Fits perfectly with the shark fin. ✌🤟🤙

[@JesseRizo]

I had thought about that I just didn’t want people trying to follow to the video and jack it up lol, thanks for the tip my friend I hope some people read this comment 👍

[@maxdossett2093]

Just ordered a rack Can’t wait for it to show up If anyone wants to help me install please do 😁

[@eric271ful]

Awesome video. I’m just afraid to do it because I don’t want to mess it up. And plus I need help doing something as big as that. I’m afraid I would mess up my truck or not do it right. It looks awesome. Can you come to San Antonio Texas and help me. LOL!

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks my friend :)!!! Right away 😁 jk lol but No joke if u were closer I would seriously be down to help you :)!!

[@9thGenerationCajun]

Got 1 coming for my First Gen Tundra.. Looks sweet!

[@JesseRizo]

Heck yea let me know how you like it 😎👍

[@peterespinoza3131]

Any wind noise with this rack? specially out there in fontucky.

[@JesseRizo]

Hey my friend and honestly when there is mild wind or no wind at all it’s quit but when it’s the fontucky winds I’ll be completely honest yes lol but it’s not like umbearible just to the point u can hear but not crazy, I always drive with music though so that tends to make me not hear it at all “just stating from the times I drive with no music” lol hope that helps 👍

[@chadpoetrd8199]

Merry Christmas and a happy blessed new years.

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks my friend :) happy late Christmas 👍

[@SNOT-Offroad]

Another awesome video! I did have one question - What size lightbar did your friend have installed on the top? Did a 50-inch fit?

[@JesseRizo]

It’s a 42inch :) but we had to cut the windscreen a little to make it fit

[@trdtacopro3987]

Great job bro ....team work

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks bro :)!!! I appreciate you still sticking around !!

[@vinnyha5793]

Ok your Taco is sick... really sick.... i wanna the rack badly... it’s look really good bro.... yupt....

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks my friend :)!!

[@brianwilde7888]

Did you have rust issues where you scraped the tape off that was over the mounting holes? Did the same to mine today and now I’m worried about the exposed metal of the cab.

[@JesseRizo]

U can just use some enamel paint if ur worried spray some in the whole let it dry then proceed with the install

[@brianwilde7888]

@@JesseRizo thanks! I’m more talking about the areas around the hole where the tape was covering. I stuck a whole bunch of Lexel in the screw holes.

[@mack3family683]

2 questions. How long did it take and what did you use to make the weather stripping stick back in? Thanks

[@JesseRizo]

Since I was filming it took a longer because of lighting it other stuff I had to redo but it shouldn’t take long if u have someone helping you depending on ur skill level 25-45 min, And I did but I cut mine u don’t have to but I recommend putting a lot of clear silicone in the holes where u will be bolting down the rack shown in the video

[@eric271ful]

Your truck looks so awesome with the rack on it. Man! Now I want to do it. LOL

[@JesseRizo]

Lol if u have questions on it let me know :)!!

[@Kryonization]

Your taco looks great brother

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks bro :)!!

[@emmanuelb.3093]

Do you happen to have wheel spacer in your truck( rear tire seems to be wide)

[@JesseRizo]

No spacers my friend 👍

[@Efntodd]

Thanks for the video. What’s the rack rated to?

[@AllthingsStyledbyPam]

Hi Jesse!!!! I am looking forward to see your installment!!!! That makes sense on the layout especially if someone has a sun roof!!! Hi Nate and Chris!!!! You always make life easier when it comes to your installs because of details that you give!!! I I love when they provide extra screws!!!! I need to get a pair of those cutters Chris was using!!!! That makes sense on how you placed the rack because of your Antenna!!!! Wow that is cool seeing you both on the roof!!!! It’s looks soo good on your truck Jesse!!! Yesss!!!!! I loved the bloopers lololol Nate has to record lololol okay Nate chewing in the camera lololol!!!!!! I loved your video Jesse!!!! I will see you after Christmas my friend!!!!! Xoxo Pam 💝♥️♥️💝

[@BrooksnHooks]

How long did you let the silicone sealant to set before driving?

[@JesseRizo]

About a day my friend then after that just made sure it wasn’t gna rain for a couple days just to be safe lol

[@BrooksnHooks]

Jesse Rizo oh, I was going to put mine on today before I drive to work, but I only have a 10 minute drive at 40 mph max so I was going to just drive slow and let it sit in the sun, do you think that would be good or no? (Was gonna let it set for an hour before I leave of course)

[@JesseRizo]

Sorry I barely saw ur message did u end up doing it?

[@BrooksnHooks]

Jesse Rizo you good 😂 no I didn’t, I’m waiting till tomorrow, there was just too many risks, supposed to be sunny for the next week after tomorrow. Probably won’t sleep tonight 😂

[@JesseRizo]

TheTruePatriot lol yea I honestly would wait just to play it safe u don’t want a leaking roof lol, It’s been raining a lot lately doesn’t let me film my videos 😂😂

[@jamielicosati7475]

Any change in MPG?

[@JesseRizo]

That I’ve noticed drastically no and I hope it doesn’t change lol trucks already bad 😂 but so far no my friend

[@Issac_G]

what size are the aluminum rails?

[@JesseRizo]

I’m not 100 percent to be honest I never measured them 😬 I’m sorry

[@Issac_G]

@@JesseRizo Thanks by looking at them they look to be 1" x 2" but not sure. They dont sale one for my first gen Tundra Double Cab so im going to make my own

[@radicals1290]

Jesse let me ask you this does that rack fit any 3rd gen model or just the trd models?

[@JesseRizo]

It will fit any but when ordering it should give u option if I’m not mistaken

[@chrisspear1129]

[@JesseRizo]

Thank you :)!!!

[@thomastran967]

Love your videos man keep it up! Quick question does prinsu say the height of the spacers they use for the rack? And what thread and length is the 10mm bolt for the rack?

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks bro I appreciate that, In all honesty I’m not sure 🤔 possibly a 1inch spacer as far as length and size thread I’m hinestly not sure and it’s inside the truck now glued so I can’t remove it to measure it :/ I’m sorry my friend

[@BrooksnHooks]

Does anyone know if you can buy a single spare set of roof weather strips for 3rd gen Tacoma? I’m on a lease for about 2 more years before I make it mine, just want replacement stuff so I don’t get a deductible,

[@JesseRizo]

I’d try OfferUp or forums or one of those sites first then if not look see if maybe a store online sells them last resort from the dealer parts department

[@BrooksnHooks]

Jesse Rizo thank you! I was thinking of talking to my dealer, my parents keep telling me that I shouldn’t be modifying it on a lease, but I’m well prepared to take everything off IF I do trade it out, just want it nice while I have it! :) love your channel, helps me a lot and I love that you always respond to questions or comments! Keep it up :)

[@JesseRizo]

TheTruePatriot no problem my friend :) yea but I’d defenitly try those sites out first or even just google.com search and see hopefully something pops up lol, & u got it my friend any questions just ask I’ll always try my best to reply as soon as possible 👍

[@BrooksnHooks]

Jesse Rizo oh I did have 1 question, did you use some more silicone to secure the weather strips after you put the roof rack on? Looked like they had some adhesive hold them in place when stock

[@JesseRizo]

Adding them would probably best i didn’t but one side is popping up so I should have added some to be safe lol

[@mmunoz5875]

Behind the scenes!?! LMAO! Great video BTW

[@sonofcar1]

nice man! that’s on my list for sure!
