Never mind, I'm blind evidently. 3-4 weeks.

It is listed per rack/accessory. So go check out the page for the thing you wan to buy. Crestone says 3-4 weeks currently for example.

I just bought a Sherpa rack and they don't make it easy to mount 'off-brand' boards without drilling holes. Their 'Smileys' are cute but the orientation is wrong for lengthwise (snowboard style) mounting.

@Smees - sure here you go. The trick is just making 2 rails the right distance apart and using the smiley things to strap them in place.

Ah, okay I guess I misunderstood. I thought you were using eyebolts and strapping the boards lengthwise, which is what I want to do. It looks like you're strapping the boards width-wise, which works with the smiley thingies.

Thanks for the clarification!

Not sure about sales but if you use promo code MOMO75 you will get 5% off your order.

I’m curious if you have any feedback after you have had the Needle version?

Can you tell a difference in wind noise? Any issues with the fairing diving wind down into the vehicle while the sunroof is open?

Any other observations after switching from the full length rack?

Here's a shot of the Needle.



Neither the Crestone or Needle added any noise beyond the TRD Pro rack the vehicle came with.

They are both stout, so the fairing does not move, sunroof open or not.

The only difference is the length - the mounting, side rail design, and cross rails are the same between the two.

Curious to see if they'll run promos during Memorial Day.

I do not know specifically. There are many of our customers running ski boxes but could not speak to specific models and types.



We also are releasing a product that allows you to mount crossbars above the rack so you can use the ski boxes like this where they are meant to sit below your factory crossbars. Also, these are useful for mounting other odds and ends that need to sit up a little higher or possibly off to one side or the other.

Likely releasing this in the next few weeks.

@SherpaEquipmentCo

Just installed mine today - and really not trying to be petty at all - just want to provide some feedback that is super nitpicky and all easy fixes.

1 - The card with the instruction link tells you to go to : 404 Not Found

That's a 404 - the actual page is
INSTRUCTIONS

You guys need to setup a redirect from the broken link to the correct page; easy fix - no need to reprint cards.

2 - In the instructions for step 2 the "bonded washers" as they are listed in the hardware checklist are referred to "flat washers" in the required component list but correctly described as bonded washers in the step instructions.

Overall the install was smooth and easy with the only hard part the removal of the OEM TRD PRO rack the screws for which had simply insane quantity of thread lock.
