Awesome video. What is the move on roof rack with a moonroof? I can't decide if I like the 3/4, or if removing the crossbar(s) over the moonroof with a full sized rack is a good idea/will look ok, or just deal with seeing some rails above. Almost makes me lean towards finding an oem Pro rack but I do want the functionality of these much higher quality racks. The silver rails are killing me though so need to decide soon!
6:27 be super careful not to push the female plastic nut covers down into the car/headliner starting here..... highest risk part of the process is 7:13 and installing bolts.... you'll regret losing it...
In your video a year ago for the Sherpa there was no cutting of the rubber where the front foot sits. Why does Sherpa not cut down to the roof whereas Prinsu does? Can the Prinsu front feet sit directly on the rubber as well vs cutting or has Sherpa changed their installtion since your video to also cut? I'm still on the fence between the Sherpa and Prinsu myself. I like the large rubber blocks on the Sherpa to keep dirt and crap out of the opening where the feet sit but I also don't like the fact they don't sit on the roof in front as that rubber in the channel can get compressed after a while. Anyone with thoughts?
I love how meticulous Corey is with all the intallations. I know a few shops who wouldn't even think of putting loctite on the threads. Corey, you're super talented and I enjoy watching the transformations. Kinda like pimp my ride but not so over the top.

i havent touched my '23 TRD Pro rack for this exact reason.
You'd have to really try to push those into the roof.

Appreciate the compliment!
Do you know if this can be taken off and put right on the 6th Gen 4runner? thanks
I would assume the mounting design is different for the 6th gen
People compare this to the Sherpa a lot, but how does this compare to the Wescott Designs?
Wonder if you could just leave the feet on the weatherstrip? Big turn off to have to cut your weatherstrip.
I'm sure you could get away with doing that but the weatherstripping does lift up pretty easily
Sherpa seems like a cleaner install, but Prinsu looks a little better. which do you guys prefer?
Comparison video is coming out soon!
Prinsu is the best looking imo
