I decided against fabbing up a custom Prinsu rack as I didn't really want to spend the money on materials and tooling. Would have still been north of $600 not including my time. Went another direction. Pulled some 2000-2006 Z71 rack parts from the pick n pull. $51 for the whole thing!!

looks good. I’m not surprised that it fits. I’m almost positive the NNBS denalis have the same roof rack as the NBS Escalades. So I imagine the holes lined up no problem

Yup…. Roof rack design and mounting locations did not change from GMT800-GMT900. The plastic mounting gaskets on the GMT900 Escalade racks that go in between the roof and the cap, that the cap mounts to, changed a little bit. But pretty much the same. And the standard roof racks are all the same Between the two. I had GMT800 esky racks on my rig and then found a newer set that are GMT900 and they work totally fine.

The mounting plates do have a different profile and don't sit as nicely on a few areas. But it might be only an 1/8" gap in a few spots. Not a concern. I also added some silicone when mounting. The biggest takeaway from this was that it is actually a usable rack other than the toy they put on there originally.
