when you refer to the little beads - do you know what size we would need to get?
what is the time stamp on that statement and I can answer your question.

Another great concise, well edited video. This has been on my list of things to buy for quite some time.
Bob Kim go use code Sicmods at checkout and cross this item off your list of things to buy!
Is this code still works? Thank you:)
Excellent video
We're glad you think so. Thanks!
Great video Sean
Great video timmy
Was just looking into this, trying to decide between this one and the prinsu rack. Good job presenting, Sean.
sparky790 stay tuned. We may have a discount code for Timmy the toolman viewers 💪🏼
@@TimmyTheToolman Darn, the code is no longer valid.
@@reneee5735 Thanks for letting us know. I guess they were only willing to allow this discount for a while..
Looks amazing will look into maybe getting one
Bruno A Soria Martinez it’s definitely a good rack with lots of options to mount accessories. Use Sicmods at checkout for a discount
The one thay have is almost 1000]$
Thanks for sharing guys!
You bet!
Great video! Will be back to reference once I get this rack ordered! Thanks!
Thanks and good luck with the install.
Can you link to the light bar installation? Can't seem to find it on the channel. And thanks so much for making all this content!
Looks awesome!
Awesome work, greetings from Argentina
hernan johnson hello Hernan! It’s cool to have viewers all over the world
feel like i could build this rack for much less, brackets and fairing will have to be fabbed, but the rails can be bought.
You should build it up and take notice how much time and money it took you to build it. Figure out what your time is worth and add the material expenses and then subtract that from the cost of the Sherpa Equip Co rack and figure out if it was worth it.
Great video. Will be mounting my rack today. I have the optional light bar and look forward to your wiring video since I am not sure How I will approach that. Keep up the great job!
Kevin Riese the harness they give you is very straightforward. Power and ground.. it’s the routing through your truck which is the fun part
Timmy The Toolman thanks for the reply. I had a sailboat for 27 years and the wiring of radar and other electronic gear was always a pain since the manufacturer would put a huge water proof plug on their wiring harness, making it difficult to feed through bulkheads etc.. The light bar is no exception and wondering how you would feed it to battery without drilling a big hole on the roof of your vehicle. Thanks Tim.
@@kevinriese2167 Did you ever figure it out? How did it go?
I believe you can tuck the wiring in the trim going up the windshield.
Can you do a look around and maybe have it a little dark to highlight the light bar ? 🙏🏼
Yes
Dude, I was looking at this rack, front runner too.
Just4Fun get it!! It’s pretty rad
@@TimmyTheToolman do they make Jerry can holders like front runner? Or hi-lift attachments?
You may have swayed me from UpTop and Frontrunner racks

Late to the party on this one, but thanks for another great video. I'm starting to look at roof racks, and it makes me want one of these even more after watching your install. A couple of Q's: (1) I recently pulled my stock roof rack rails off to re-paint them as they were fading/peeling (to kind of get them ready prior to installing a roof rack). I bought Permatex RTV to apply around the bolts and the holes to hopefully prevent water from getting in (I learned that could be a leak source from some comments in your sunroof drain videos). Should I also apply some type of silicone around the outer edges of the rail track to keep water from getting under there (since I've sort of broken that seal that has formed over time)? (2) how much vibration do you notice with the new rack installed, and do you notice any difference in weight on your rig when you pack stuff on the rack (vs. throwing that same stuff back in the cargo area), i.e., does it help since you're able to distribute weight up there more equally than inside the car? Thanks, as always, for the time you guys take to do these!
There is no need to apply silicone around the edges of the track, only where the bolts screw into the top of the roof into their respected holes. I haven’t noticed any additional wind noise or vibration and I have an 8’ awning on top now as well. The nice thing about a roof rack is you have the freedom to distribute weight differently and more evenly, I don’t put super heavy stuff up there but I suppose if you had something super heavy on top you might notice it a little when getting tipsy on an obstacle. Let us know if anything else comes up!
What I really wanna know is how you ran the wires for the light bar
we haven't done this yet, but you could run them down the A-pillar, into the engine bay and through the firewall or drill a hole into the roof of your rig. Or find someway to sneak them into the cabin (maybe the rear hatch since it would be more discrete).
will this fix on 2nd gen 4runner ?
I think you meant to say "Fit". The answer is, I don't know. You'd have to contact Sherpa and ask them.
Any info/specs on the 4runner? Looks so good

Hey Sean did you done a video for the wiring?
Sean hasn't done a video for the wiring yet. Maybe one will be coming down the pipe in the future.
Hi, I'm interested in this system that doesn't need drilling. Are the front bases safe? Minute 7: second 40
It is not necessary some type of rubber or glue?
Will it have the same support as drilled and screwed?
Thank you for this great video.
jaroja Rojas no glue necessary. The feet are a rubber material. The roof rack rails are secured with multiple screws into the roof. This rack fits into the stock railing. It’s very secure.
hello. i hope you respond still on this old video. i noticed when you put the mounting feet into the stock capture nets the orientation for both was different. does it matter which way they are slided it (black vs. silver top showing)
Karson Bussell put the bolts into the capture nuts the same way they came out of the roof rack track originally. So be sure to take note of the orientation they are in when you’re removing them.
Timmy The Toolman perfect thank you. One more thing. I’m a little confused on once the mounting feet are tightened. Do they not slide on the tracks at all?
Karson Bussell once tight, they should not slide, loosen them up a little to adjust, & then tighten them down to the desired location. You don’t want them to move at all once your installation is done.
Nice job, can you open your sunroof? If so I am going to get this one also.
Yeah absolutely! You can adjust the cross bars any way you want. I have mine positioned so I can use my sunroof without issue. Don’t forget to use the promo code in our video description to get a discount!
@@TimmyTheToolman thanks man. great videos. great channel.
@@mike12585 You're welcome and glad you like what Sean and I are doing with our channel. Happy Wrenching!
Great job, love the mods

does this rack leave enough room to install a ladder on the hatch door?
Yes, because you can adjust the cross bars and move them anywhere you want them really.
Did you guys ever get a coupon code? Looking at the Crestone for the 5th gen
Scott Tucker check the video description for the coupon code.
Sweet vid. This rack has been on my wish list since i got my 3rd gen a year ago
Wickedreamz there’s no time like the present. Definitely a cool rack
What if you dont have the factory rails
The factory rail deletes your rig must have need to be first be replaced with the most common style of roof rack rails shown in this video. An auto salvage yard with a 3rd gen should get you back on track.
How much for the rack and light bar?
The Shocker i think about 700-800
The Shocker visit their website sherpaequipmentco.com
Lol I paid 890$ for the roof rack. Not powder coated and no light.
It’s 1300-1400 powder coated with the light
Who knows where the video is of him wiring the light bar??
we haven't filmed that yet due to finding the best solution to drilling a hole in the roof to fit a water tight connection. wiring is pretty straight forward, routing & water proofing is another story.
What is the size of the light bar??
It's a 38" light bar
Basically looks like a prinsu knockoff. And did you buy it used? In a few shots I could see alot of metal where the powder coating had already came off
Looks way way better then the prinsu😂 they don’t compare.
@@StreetNature How? They literally look the same lmfao and looking at the video the QC isnt great lol
Stuntman Travis if you have a Tacoma go prinsu... if you have a 4Runner go Sherpa trust me.
you guys sound sponsered
We're not sponsored by Sherpa Equipment.
Your shirts say otherwise
@@farmermike9262 Well, maybe they gave Marcus a deal on the rack because we made the video of installing it on his rig but I don't know if this is the case. What I do know is they don't sponsor our channel in any way, shape, or form. We made the video to help people out.
Good onya Tim
