    Can anyone tell me the difference between the Prinsu and Victory4x4 racks?

    Let me know when you two get together to install those and I'll see if'n I cannot come help.

    Can anyone tell me the difference between the Prinsu and Victory4x4 racks?

    I have zero experience with the Victory. From an eyeball perspective, they appear to be fairly similar. The biggest differences look like they boil down to the Prinsu being round on the back end while the Victory is square, and the Prinsu comes with a strip of material that slips over the front...

    Ghost beltless passenger

    I have a BT ODBII adapter.... dunno that I really want to turn it off, though I don't suppose there is any reason to keep it, as we are seatbelt wearers. I just want it to realize that the seat is vacated. I'll probably just kill it, though.

    The dingo in question is 28 lbs and the human is much larger. But even with the dog, it didn't figure it out. Since you don't have this issue, I will assume that it is an issue with how I installed the seat cover. I'll unhook those elastic hooks underneath and see if that changes the behavior.
