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!!

I'm surprised tbh, but that looks really good to me! Nice job man!

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.
