This Is The Easiest Way To Mount a Hi-Lift on a Prinsu

As a fellow Tacoma owner, I’m sure you can agree that we have limited room for storage. As you begin to build your truck, this problem becomes exponentially more evident. Adding a Prinsu roof rack to your truck can help give you more storage solutions, but what about securing awkward items like a Hi-Lift jack?

Prinsu has a large selection of accessories mounts. These are universal since the vast majority of roof rack systems utilize the industry standard crossbars. Make sure you have the right crossbars before you buy.

Installation

Installing these is simple and only requires a couple of simple tools.

Required tools

  • Ratchet
  • 9/16 Socket & 7/16 Socket
  • 9/16 Wrench

Step 1. Assemble

Prinsu Hi-lift Mount Hardware

Before we can get these installed onto the Prinsu roof rack, we need to assemble everything with the supplied hardware.

One of the supplied gold bolts will slide into the mounts from the underside pointing up. Before you insert the bolt, put one of the large fender washers onto the bolt.

After you slide the bolt and fender washer through, slide a second fender wash over the bolt and then the nut. Use a 9/16 socket and 9/16 wrench to tighten the hardware.

After these are assembled, you will have two fender washers left over and two black screw-on handles. These will get used in the final step, so put them aside for later.

Step 2. Attach To Rack

The second half of the supplied hardware is used to attach them onto the roof rack cross rails. For this, you will need eight carriage bolts, flat black washers, and lock nuts.

After placing the mount over the four carriage bolts, add a flat washer and a lock nut to each to secure it to the crossbar.

Installing the second one is the exact same process but on a separate crossbar.

Final Thoughts

Having a jack out on the trails is a must-have tool if you like to push the limits of your rig. Most people think it’s only used for trail repairs, but this is not true. They’re are also used to assist with offroad recoveries. Use extreme caution if using one to work on your truck as it can easily slip off.

These mounts are very simple to install and move your jack up and out of the way until it’s ready to be used. They look very clean on the roof rack and accessing is easy.
