Probably an odd question - I have a front runner 3/4 rack that I bought before learning about your company. I will be taking it off to repaint it soon and would rather not use sealant again. Would you be open at all to selling only your rubber inserts that the rack sits on?

We do sell a whole mount set with rubber included but we do not sell just our rubber seals. Sorry for any inconvenience. We designed and tested it using our mounts and will not sell them for other applications for liability purposes.


Lead Times
As far as lead times go, we greatly appreciate everyone's patience as we work through our order list. We are taking steps to minimize the lead-times and keep everyone's orders on track as best we can. The lead times are trending towards the longer end, and some are sadly over the estimated time.

If you have questions about your order call or email, we are happy to update you on the status. We have well over 250 pending orders and we are shipping out 25-30 racks a week which is over double where we were a month ago. Our suppliers are struggling to keep up as well, but we are making strides on this regard as well.

We are doing what we can! Thank you for bearing with us and supporting us through this craziness! I promise we will get you all your racks and accessories as soon as physically possible!

Appreciate you all!

Received my rack today and installed it in a few hours. Relatively easy install and a quality product. Kudos to Sherpa Equipment Co.

Best to just forget about it. I ordered mine August 25th and it looks like I'm still about two weeks out before it's in my hands. It's been a long wait but I'm hoping it'll be worth it.

Would y'all ever consider partnering with Affirm to offer financing on your products?

If it makes business sense for you to offer it, I think it would allow many more people to buy your products because they can spread out the cost over several payments with little to no interest who otherwise couldn't afford to drop ~$1,000 all at once.
@SherpaEquipmentCo any word on this?

We do not currently have any plans to add Affirm to our website. Though it is low interest for the consumer, it pawns that interest off on the seller.

I'm a firm believer in buy once cry once but with delayed gratification. Save up and pay cash for the rack or use a CC to buy it and pay it off at the monthly statement. There's no point in financing a $1000 roof rack and that's probably a bad way to go about earning credit. Unless it's a mortgage, car, or major home renovation I don't see the point of financing the little things in life. To be frank, and not trying to be an a-hole since we all come from various backgrounds and financial situations, but if you have to finance a $1000 roof rack and can't pay outright for it then you simply can't afford it.

Right on. And with the demand and lead times you guys have it doesn't make sense to offer a financing option if you're the ones taking a penalty on it.

I agree completely on the "only finance the big things" part. I've also got an 800+ credit score, so it's not really about building credit for me personally, either. Personally, I'm coming more out of the place of if there's an opportunity to spread payments on something out with no interest, that leaves me with more cash for other things.

All I was getting at is that other retailers in this same industry (car aftermarket) use Affirm, or something similar, to great success because it entices the people who otherwise wouldn't make a purchase on something they don't really need to go ahead and make that purchase at low, or more often than not, zero interest. A sale, even if the supplier takes a small hit on using a 3rd party service, is still better than no sale at all. It's the same kind of idea as whether or not businesses accept Amex. The one's that don't say it's because Amex has higher fees, which is true. However, that's eliminating a percentage of customers who now go elsewhere to use their Amex card.

TLDR: The availability of easy low/no interest financing is another variable that e-commerce stores are going to have to account for going forward to stay competitive.

I don’t really post pictures of my cars (on forums or IG) but here’s a more recent one. And yes, it’s the 56” Mt. Hood
