Knowing how good the Sherpa group is I am betting they will have some great deals for Black Friday.....start saving up now....

Do you know what suspension setup is on that rig?

 

[ThatT4RGuy]

Never heard of a Halloween sale other than costumes and candy (post halloween). But this is sick! Not in the market for a rack yet but Sherpa and Prinsu are the ones I'm deciding between. Will definitely be on the look out for sales/group buys.

Call me stupid ocd but how is the wind noise? The stock rack makes all kinds of racket.

Also I'm guessing this is high enough to clear the sunroof.

Great looking rack BTW. Super sexy and sleek.

Just installed mine last weekend and with the full height fairing, and I don't really notice any difference than the OEM sport rack, so, it's quiet. Mayyyybe there is a bit of wind noise on the freeway at 75, but that's with radio off and trying to listen for it specifically. And yes, definite sunroof clearance in the up position.

I've been shopping roof racks all weekend during the black Friday/cyber Monday sales, I've narrowed my search down to the Sherpa Princeton and the Frontrunner Slimline II. I'm leaning towards the Sherpa Princeton, however I am curious is if there's enough clearance between the roof and the crossbars to mount a Yakima Skybox? I've seen pictures of the Yakima Skybox mounted to the Frontrunner, but not sold on the 3/4 size of their rack for the 4th gen 4Runner.

I don't think clearance should be an issue...I'll measure mine today and report back.

Update: okay, better late than never, right? Here ya go:

1. Over the sunroof about a foot in from driver's door (2 1/2"):

2. Over the front and rear seats also about a foot in (1 5/8"):

3. Over center rear (1 5/8"):

Thank you for posting that, I believe that should be just enough clearance...the bottom clamps on a Yakima Skybox are about an inch thick. I ended up ordering the Sherpa rack since they were on sale, figured worst case scenario I could always sell it if it doesn't have enough clearance for my attachments. Would be nice if they offer a low or high clearance option on their roof racks, I would think it'd be pretty simple to do with just taller mounting feet and taller side panels. I can see people who have to worry about garage clearance wanting low profile racks, but I'm sure there's plenty who don't and would like an extra inch or two of clearance to work with under the crossbars.

Thanks for your order! Another option you may be able to do to mount the Skybox is to remove the clamping mounts underneath and directly bolt through the skybox into t nuts inside the crossbars. I have never seen the way they mount but I assume it is similar to the Yakima ski racks and this is the method we often use. It creates a nice secure way that is also harder for thieves to remove as well, but very simple if you plan to take it on and off.

DAMMIT I just bought a Prinsu...this looks so much beefier and I like the attention to detail with the rubber.

Either sell, or return the Prinsu if you can. This is a superior product for sure.

return it! I don't own one, but went by the shop not too long ago to pick something else up- it's top notch man. Materials and assembly are high quality.

 

[SherpaEquipmentCo]

Thanks for all the kind words guys! I would be happy to help get you set up with our rack.

 

[xtremewlr]

Definitely want to go with one of these for my 4R. Co-worker has a 3rd gen and recently got a Sherpa rack for it.

Any chance you guys can come up with a rack solution for 1st gen extra cab Tacomas as well? I have a 1999 that I wouldn't mind having a roof rack for that doesn't require drilling into the roof to install.
