#diy #prinsu #roofrack - Jak na to + styl
(Update) disappointed with the hardware from tnutz I thought it would be more weather resistant but they already have surface rust on some of them and it hasn’t even rained. I’ll either have to paint them or look into getting some black anodized stainless hardware if that’s even a thing. Suggestions welcomed.
Also..
I didn’t show this well but there is 3m double sided mounting tape under the front brackets to protect the paint and prevent movement. Just so you know 👍. Y’all are awesome! So glad y’all are enjoying this build! 🙏🙏
I agree, tnuts hardware rusted too quickly on my roof rack as well.
Use stainless hardware. More expensive but won't rust. You can paint it black after the fact to hide them.
Great build though! Looks like it came from a factory. 👍
aluminum in contact with steel (dissimilar metals- including stainless steel) will cause galvanic corrosion. electrically isolating material would help- rubber gaskets or washers- but may not be structurally sound in certain applications. you could try having your steel powder coated to isolate it from the aluminum. "anodizing," though, is a process applied to aluminum, not steel- looks like your rails were anodized black. Good on you for giving this a go- many of us dream about building the perfect rack and never get around to it!
I built my own prinsu style rack about a year ago. McMaster Carr has black stainless hardware, it’s a little pricey but it’s worth it in our use👍🏻
Get titanium hardware and heat it till it turns bright red then dip it in wd-40 it will blacken.
This is what CZcams was meant to be for - informative and inspiring things like this. Another job well done!
Thanks so much!
Love the diy contour gauge . What a great idea!
skewer sticks and a piece of cardboard work just fine! genius!! how loud is the wind noise?
Thanks! No wind noise to speak of! I was expecting it to whistle or hum. Thankfully this doesn't!
Great tip with the tape for the hole location.
Your builds are some of the coolest ones I've watched. You can tell great pride goes into your work and the craftsmanship is awesome!
Thanks man! I appreciate it! 🙏
OMG. I always learn something from your videos. Its like, "why didn't I think of that!". The two vertical tapings to show you where the bolt hole is under the metal you needed to drill is brilliant! Keep up the good work, it is surely appreciated.
Definitely doing this! Another awesome video. Thanks, Patrick!
All I can say is wow. A really spectacular job, it gives me inspiration.
Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
Great job!!! Thanks for sharing. Love the skewer trick.
Thank you!
Awesome job, definitely inspiration for my next rack
The corrugated cardboard and the skewers gauge is BRILLIANT!
Outstanding build. You did a great job on this roof rack. Several really clever ideas on how to simplify some techniques for DYI. Part of the joy of building something like this is the build process. If you don’t like to build things DYI, you don’t appreciate the talented people like yourself. Really just a great job and you did it all with what you had to work with.
Thanks for the kind words! 🙏
that is a work of art! great build, and I totally understand the desire to build it yourself. It isn't the $$$, it is the satisfaction of knowing you created that solution!
Exactly! thank you! 🙏🙏
Best diy roof rack build yet!
Thank you! That's what I was shooting for!
Love watching your wits being displayed
Thank you! 🙏
Amazing build. I learned so much just watching this.
That thing looks incredible. Nice job.
Very impressive.
I will remember both the tape trick and the one with cardboard and sticks :)
Fantastic work
Dude, so glad this popped up in my video list. This time "the algorithm" worked. I'm going to do this for my 4th gen. Now all I need free time.
Great turn out. I think this is better then the mass produced roof rack. Looks really good
Excellent work! It looks very professional and is sure to suit your needs much better than any expensive aftermarket product. It's just that my heart skips a beat every time a bare piece of sharp metal touches the paint on your car. Remember that a few rolls of masking tape will always be cheaper than a paintjob.
So happy to see you using steel, I’ve been wanting to do this for a year now but don’t know how to weld aluminum and was never thrilled about bolting on the side rails to the feet.
Great job looks amazing! Your getting a lot better with the TIG. 🤘🏼👍🏼
Wow Patrick, you've outdone yourself sir. What a great, quality build with all the professional finishing touches.
Thank you kindly! Glad you enjoyed the build!
You always kill it. Great job man. Thank you.
Thanks josh!
Awesome build and great video coverage. I’m looking into a rack and rooftop tent for my ‘97 4Runner. 👍🏻
Great video, Patrick!
Thanks for keeping it 💯
Thank you!
Excellent Job !!! So inspirational!
Thank you!

Great job! Looks amazing. Very informative and entertaining
Thank you!
And I learned a few new hacks. Well done sir!
That turned out really nice!
That my friend is a damn fine job and a damn fine video as well! Thanks very much for sharing! I hope mine turns out as well!
Haha thanks Owen! 🙏🙏
Wow, genius. Congratulations.

Wow dude good job this came out. Awesome!
Thanks man!

Your contour template was awesome 👍
That is such a great build!
Hell of a job! I think I will build my own now too. It's way better when you can build something just as good and can call it your own!
Thank you!
I'm a DIY guy, but this looks DI-WOW!!! Great job
Great tutorial!
I’m completing my roof rack build and as much as i want to put in those slots i just don’t trust myself, you’re really steady and precise with your cuts. Just have the wind deflector to do now
Brilliant build. Love your videos.
Thank you so much!
You did a great job
That's veery good! thank you!))
wow man, very nicely done. this looks amazing! saw your pinned comment about the hardware, even just straight up stainless steel would look nice on the black. thats what i have on my 2014 xv. definitely gonna look at the rest of your channel for more awesome content!
Thank you! 🙏 Yeah, I have wondered how uncoated hardware would look on this thing!
that look really good
Great work as usual! Love watching your builds. I switched out all my hardware with black oxide coated stainless steel from McMaster Carr
Ooohhh, I like that tape trick!
I know, right!
Great work man. The tape for bolt holes and cardboard contour gauge are some awesome tricks.
Thank you!!🙏🙏
Outstanding job!!
Thank you!
Wow it turned out awesome! I really enjoyed the process and like I said it looks so awesome. 👍🏻
Thank you!!
That is CLEAN!!!!!
Thank you! 🙏
Danggg, this is an awesome build. Nice skills and work. Just wish I had you as my neighbor to design and build couple good things. Again great work 💪🏽💪🏽
Outstanding!
Thank you! 🙏🙏
Great video! I like the roof rack.
This is awesome!! Job well done 👏
Thank you!! 🙏🙏
I don’t own a Toyota but great for any vehicle rack! The cardboard-sticks is brilliant.

Man your builds are impressive! You've got me trying to figure out how to build one of these for my vehicle.
Thank you! 🙏🙏
At first I was like, that’s way too much work. But then when he finished, I was look 👀 niiiiice!! 😂 work of art brother. Great job.
Amazing work!
Thank you!
Dude you’re amazing 💪🏼
Haha thank you!
Super nice. Will use some of your great idea to build mine. Thank you so much for sharing. I don’t have all of the good tools you have but I will try to use the aluminum rails instead of steel. Hope it work.
Welcome! I hope it works out as well!
This is amazing! Great work!
Thanks a lot!
@PatrickRemington. Wow really?!
Love the focus pulls on the b roll 😎
I'm glad someone's appreciating my videography skills!! 😂
Great job Pat. GBU!

5 star bud! The rack looks great and I really enjoyed the video. I completely agree with Kyle Murray's comment. This is what CZcams was meant to be for.
Thanks man!
GREAT JOB!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nicely done
Thank you!
LET"S GO! That sir is a CZcams video! That looks great!
I wanted to build a rack of this design. Good job 👍 Gave good insight with little tools.
Thank you!
Man, clean build
thank you!
Well done man!
Thank you!
Barbecue skewers! That's so F smart!!
Good on ya🥰🔥👍
Haha thanks!
Nicely done!!
Thank you!
Excelentee, quedó de lujo!!
I'm impressed awesome build
Thank you!!
@@PatrickRemington your welcome! Can't wait to see more content
Great job!! Turned out nice and save you a bunch of coin.
Wow! The difference between your previous rack and this one is HUGE. Following the body like that is a massive aesthetic upgrade. I suggest you purchase or convince a vendor to donate a plasma cutter to your channel. You have not let the long grinder cuts stop you, but anything to speed up the process gives more time for more projects, and that's a win for me, on my couch watching your content. You can get really clean cuts using hardboard as in template. If you plan the cuts, any errant moves ends up on the waste side. I purchased a cheap 50 amp on Amazon for around 250, and it's already paid for itself. I Knew I would need slots on my gas skid project, and the thought of drilling and connecting all the holes was daunting. Please keep the great content coming.
Thank you! 🙏 yeah, i definitely need a plasma cutter! thanks for the tips!
Awsome!
looks great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Duuuuude!!!!!
Beautiful awesome job!
Thank you!! 🙏🙏
Great build man!
Thanks!
Excelente y maravilloso trabajo!!!! Gracias
Well done bro, I have been contemplating a build like this myself, great job bro,
Thank you!
Ridiculously bad ass! Great job! 💪🏻🔥
Thank you!
hermoso trabajo, felicidades.
wow !!! awesome
Man that looks great! Your tig welding has gotten really good too!
Thank you! Yeah things are starting to click with the tig welding!
You need to bring it to Fondren and let me check it out
Came out really nice. I’ve been thinking of building one myself. I need to learn how to weld 😂 awesome work!
Thank you! You totally should! Not hard to learn! I taught myself with the Help of CZcams!
Awesome 😍
