Prinsu Top Rack Install | Will it hold my Roof Top Tent?

Ok, so this vlog is a little unorganized so dont expect it to be much help with your Prinsu Designs Top Rack installation. However despite being sick and receiving the wrong parts i manged to eventually get the rack installed. The idea is to be able to run our roof top tent over the canopy of the Tacoma for a little overland camping this summer.

Oh hey, muscles.

[@9thGenerationCajun]

Look at Mr Holster ,Dig your channel also!

[@ricardoramos7578]

when are you two going to overland together?

[@Iam_Machines]

@@ricardoramos7578 ikr - that would be cool. They are the only 2 Im supporting on patreon, so I feel like I have a vote :)

[@anthonyreddy2834]

My back still hurts after watching you put that tent up!😫🤙

[@journeytoliving7344]

Max, you're a firefighter! Take care of your back shoulders and legs!!! You are needed! By the way love the rig and the videos. Congratulations to you and your wife on your new home.

[@BreatheBeforeYuChoke]

I genuinely have enjoyed every video from this channel, just wanted to say thank you.

[@kenstreet8625]

Such great content! Been following your channel for a while now and I can say this channel is the reason I bought a new Tacoma OR. Stock now but soon it’ll look as awesome as your truck. Keep the content coming!

[@TylerDickey1]

My back just blew out watching this, you're a damn beast Maxx.

[@RambinoYT]

you deserve way more subs! Love your vlogs, new sub

[@brennancarter9504]

That vlog was so fun to watch! Really enjoyed the bike riding portion 👍🏼

[@stephenruether8216]

I have checked out a few videos of yours over the past several weeks while I plan my Tacoma build. I was literally looking at this exact product today so the timing is kind of creepy. Also, as an amateur birder and full on Raptor (the birds, not the truck) lover, I am pretty pumped about your channel. Keep the Tacoma vids coming! Subscribed!

[@lichtdatacommunicationsinc2793]

ATV, dirt bike and Taco 35” with Nitto, it seems like heaven is where you are.

[@Xxmeca421xX]

INB4 your channel blows up. Seriously though, you have something here. Good luck

[@marioarchuleta8723]

I was tripping .. Looking at all the posts an like wheres the rest ... An looked at the times .. An damn what do u know top 20 ......!!!!!! Keep it up max .. Your allways an inspiration an its always .. Good to catch up .. On goals an asperations with u .. Kepp it up bro

[@TardyTaz]

Seeing people install upgrades is painful. I got a 78 CJ-5 but it's been stuck in the shop for half a month and I'd love nothing more than to throw a tent in the back and take my dog camping. Really enjoying the vlogs and updates!

[@Th3MEX1CAN1]

Keep these videos coming man!

[@TubeSteakTaco]

I would never be able to lift my tent alone. Good stuff!

[@frankyq21]

1. Dam dude. That tent must be huge and heavy as hell for you to struggle with it like that. 2. Should have told us about that imperfection in the lens. Now I can’t stop looking for it! Lmao!

[@tjnorth8285]

I like this video because I grew up on your new road 😊

[@scottminshall6420]

You gotta love Husqvarna's! And your new place looks awesome.

[@fudozanokamae2579]

Love your videos keep it up!!! What kind of leer shell do you have? I'm looking to add one on my Tacoma!

[@hangover123111]

Can’t wait for new content from the farm

[@kasonfrigetto3824]

I stumbled across your channel today and I realized I've seen your truck in SLC. I was super confused at the time about what the logo was on the bedside 😂

[@davidkapule1923]

Looks awesome!!

[@daisuke8872]

NICE LIFT, BRO!

[@TwistedJake]

I wasn't aware those notches in the prinsu bars were a new feature. Mine has them and as I was installing it I was trying to figure out why I'd heard so many people complain about having to take it apart to mount stuff. I just grabbed a bunch of 1/4 stainless carriage bolts and hardware from home Depot. Takes me just a few minutes and a wrench to install and move stuff around.

[@jmaclicious10]

I love your videos man! Super happy to always get the privilege to watch them :) Very inspiring and positive always. I cant decide between a 4runner, f150 5.0 v8 , or a tacoma off road.. looking to pick up the 2020 version for the updated power seats in the tacoma. I love the look and capability, but damn for the same price the f150 has double the hp/tq/payload. In Canada new after taxes these vehicles are around $65,000-70,000 not including mods :(

[@meganstevefrost7326]

Umm no blue loctite?Fired! Good to see some dyi stuff again getting the welder out this weekend to finnish my rack .My first rooftop tent will be here next week. Another good video thnx keep getting it.

[@tpharo34]

Bro I’m new here. I have a similar configuration on Tacoma. I have a white Trail Tacoma waiting on a XR Leer and also putting a Prinsu on. What bike is that? Awesome 👍 lol bro that loading tent was legendary 😂

[@anthonyreddy2834]

Congratulations on the new place, my dream and goal to get some acreage soon, is your new place far from where you're at now?

[@red6743]

10:50 The "Sterling Shagg" is back. Must have jumped in a time machine.

[@samchun671]

Beast mode!!! 👍🏼

[@ryancolleran245]

Will you do an install video with the CBI Overland skids?

[@mikewohlhart3849]

Hey Maxx can you add a video of how to install Front Runner quick release tent mount on to Prinsu Rack!! Please and thank you

[@topgun8683]

Hey Maxx, I might be getting a new Suzuki DRZ400S, first time with a dual sport, I need some tips and tricks?

[@chrisridebike8]

Man that makes me want a bike!

[@bwhite824]

i just got everything setup for my RTT today, but I was alone and waiting until someone can help me lift it. I thought I was pretty strong but clearly I was wrong!

[@Prayforthesegainss]

How many Ks on your Subaru Outback man? Would love vids on it if you ever need to fix it

[@FrancoisTX1974]

Wich kind of fiber canopy you have to handle so much weight on top of it?

[@harvmac69]

I was curious about this too, Can that cap carry your gear and everyone sleeping in the tent??

[@tedhornstra]

Short answers, yes. With everything closed up and spread across multiple bars/tracks, the shell is likely fine, while the static weight capacity with gear and everyone sleeping is often higher/more capable when the vehicle isn't moving. What matters is dynamic weight, as in the weight that's potentially moving around when the truck is in motion, sometimes guys get into trouble when they load too much on too small of a rack. There are basic shells, and reinforces shells. Typically a reinforced shell is more ideal for head roof loads. But that's not to say the basic shells don't have the ability to occasionally run a tent and gear on trips.

[@sulaco8674]

Great vids man, what canopy top do you have?

[@charlesngo5318]

Where can I purchase those rails on top of the camper shell? My snugtop doesn't have them and this install is perfect!

[@seattlecoinboss3291]

Charles Ngo any dealer that sales Snugtop can put them on for you. Thats what I did. I got the Yakama brand.

[@Jackaloperuns]

When you finally decide paint it, have you thought about Monstaliner?

[@msilver382]

MAXX, what's the manufacturer of that try cap?

[@Italianborn]

That was always my question , will a canopy hold a RTT with 4 people sleeping in it ? About a 1000lbs..cause it will be cheaper to buy a used canopy instead of an off road bed rack..

[@MarEXksz]

With the thumbnail, I thought you were John Cena for a second hahaha

[@JuniorDiaz-Aventuras]

Greetings, that camper is made of fiberglass, can it withstand the weight of that cabin or does it have some reinforcement?

[@OregonDuckz]

Had me in suspense when you where putting that tent up @maxx_powell

[@stevel2407]

Glove those utensils

[@taterfab8845]

hey bud, i hope you don't have too many issues with it up there. There cab and bed move separately from one another when doing things like offloading, driving etc.

[@tacoburn5198]

Darn, just sh*t myself trying to put my RTT on. I drank milk like you said, went out there to do it and... well I forgot I’m lactose intolerant.

[@patriot8083]

Did ever wind up getting the right mounting feet from Prinsu and did you install them? I am having the same exact issue with my rack I recieved yesterday. I called and emailed Prinsu, but I havent heard back yet. Hoping to get it remedied soon...SUPER FRUSTRATING!!!

[@bullyborg943]

That looked easy peasy lemon squeezy

[@LeeShand]

Dont paint the truck Maxx. Have your Logo turned into a Cammo pattern. BAM!

[@Mdannylon27]

Hell yeah max get it done. Just muscle threw it lol something I would have done lol

[@Outdoor_MED]

I would do a wrap instead of painting the truck man!

[@stephlabrador9006]

Hey man I just needed to know if you were able to fit your Cali raised panels in your bed of the truck with your canopy installed

[@Maxx.Powell]

Yeah! It's no problem at all

[@thebenson1983]

LOL, Thanks for the laugh.

[@bryansmith7473]

Hey just saying, you said you needed 4 bolts on each side. Y didn't you put all 8 and slide 4 to the other side so you only had to disable 1 side?

[@rafaelmoriel2088]

Nice truck

[@jvrsvw]

That tent install though, ouch. Next time put upright on the tailgate and with the rails facing you, then flip end over end onto the canopy, voila !!!

[@cameronklenk17]

Where does he get his hats at!!!! I want one lol

[@BozardsInAlaska]

It’s a Columbia hat: amzn.to/3gLYqz8

[@erichusby471]

Coincidentally, just realized today Prinsu sent me two wrong load panels as well. Awesome rack, but sucks to have wrong sized stuff.

[@4eyefox79]

Looks good max next time have help no one likes a bad back... o by the way how much?

[@nooblessnoobster]

You should look into upgrading the roof rack into an UpTOP Overland rack. Those things are beefy.

[@reanderson10]

The Prinsu racks are very strong and light. My Prinsu rack has yet to bend from the use I've put on it. And also, you'll want the racks to be as light but strong as possible because you can only put so much weight on the camper shell itself. Got to be careful with those.

[@nooblessnoobster]

Fair enough. I'm pretty new to all this stuff, so I don't know too much. I will have to keep weight limits in mind.

[@levigurule5740]

Cool video, what size is that tent?

[@Maxx.Powell]

Its the 80 inch model 👊

[@redbugbob]

That last part made my back hurt!

[@martinmclaughlin9316]

I thought that mark was my phone screen for a while. Lol

[@foote1967]

Lifting that thing up there...I'm pretty sure I'd be done with all activities the rest of the night...ha...makes me sore just watching..lol

[@Th3MEX1CAN1]

Haha You got your new camera half way through filming.

[@theninja001]

Anyone else never notice the “line” on the screen? I still don’t see it.

[@HugDeeznueces]

so, prinsu sent you the wrong brackets? wtf! I am about to order that rack. What do the other brackets look like?

[@WhiskeySkyMedia]

Yo what's that lighting you have in your garage?

[@jsoverland]

Damn Maxx, that tent is heavy bro!! LOl What is it 150 Lbs?

[@Explained-YouTube]

Amazon has it listed at 290 Lbs - Freespirit Recreation High Country Series 80 Inch Roof Top Tent

[@BobMorrisJr]

What truck cap is that? Looks great.

[@Maxx.Powell]

Its made by Leer 🍻

[@gguunneer]

To all who didn't notice the thing on the lens I am sorry. My OCD had to point it out.

[@darinr5591]

Holy shit dood, you gave me a hernia just watching that.

[@pulser955]

I don’t want to be a killjoy but did you check the Weight limit on the shell before doing this? Unless you have commercial fiberglass shell with the internal structure your going to crack it.

[@JFKEOD]

I was thinking the same thing. Also worth mentioning is that the truck cab and truck bed are designed to torque independently; if something is bolted to both pieces it may damage 1 of the 3.

[@kenttodd6179]

Tent and rack + tunnel cover on top of fiberglass fenders.

[@kenttodd6179]

Had mine crack and fold inwards from couple hundred lbs of mud build up. Found out that's why race trucks slow down at water crossings.

[@bcmfarmsllc8103]

The Marine moto! Overcome and adapt!

[@TheCls63]

HOw much weight can the rack hold?

[@Frog_man007]

What bike is that you got there? Drz400?

[@raisedbykauai3805]

I thought those Leer caps couldn't support all that weight?

[@SuperTurbo420]

What bed cap is that big dawg

[@nickmuhoberac1112]

Did you have to do a shark fin antenna delete?

[@Maxx.Powell]

No mine just barely fit under the rack

[@kable1173]

“Oh squiggly line”

[@utuberinxs]

Good luck with your back in 10 years! this movement is a vertebrate disk compressing activity for sure. Ask people for help or devise another system to mount on your truck. It hurts just to watch.

[@adrianalvarado7407]

Ya take your time getting old bro. Impressed although

[@alflorencecabaguing1599]

i just subbed to see carel

[@throughjackscamera4432]

If you're looking for a herniated disc, keep it up. Always looking for work myself. #surgicaltech

[@billynunns]

😂

[@DeadpoolOfR6]

What’s the bed size you got? Long or short?

[@Maxx.Powell]

It's a short bed

[@DeadpoolOfR6]

Maxx Powell gotcha I didn’t know if the difference really matters

[@svtjackal]

Shouldn't had mentioned the squiggly line. Now all I'm doing is looking for it, pretty sure no one noticed it before

[@gguunneer]

Sorry that was my fault.

[@Nightmarehc130]

if only you had friend!!!!!

[@RCPropaganda]

better than dust in the .... nvm

[@andyvang2522]

Dam u are a beast but I can't drink milk. I'm lactose and too short to lift it up lol

[@Caldizzlebob]

Where's your riding gloves??? Made me nervous man!

[@Th3MEX1CAN1]

It's really weird noticing that this is pretty old footage that you just got edited together. Your son's hair got cut a while ago and you already got a new camera but you still have some old footage. Lol ot was really throwing me off.

[@kenttodd6179]

That's a lot of weight sitting on your rear fiberglass fenders. Hope you put in the extra supports in and didn't just use the factory mounts. Cracked my first rear set of fenders with 400lbs of mud caked on the inside of the fenders! On the first test run. Lmao.

[@sandlernatalia4766]

❤️❤️❤️

[@thedaventure]

I didnt think standard canopies were built to take that much weight on them.

[@andredesaintphalle]

They are not. There are canopies with steel frames built-inside. There is a real risk that the torque from all that weight getting slammed around over time will loosen the rack mounts as well. Here is a link to an actual tent-mount fail. It’s a totally different set-up, but it shows the kind of fatigue that mounts endure until they can’t anymore. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bICxe3mZhbmUeqs Better to be safe than sorry.

[@benlawson832]

You forgot your tail light 😂

[@hubertmosiej]

You beast

[@anDWandy]

What happened to the camera u just got

[@Th3MEX1CAN1]

He doesn't upload these videos in order, this footage is old. You can tell he gets his new camera about half through filming this video.

[@GODSKR3ATIION]

Get a G7x mark ii test it please you will be so shocked with the quality in vlogging
