Note: Load ratings vary by configuration – contact Sherpa for specific size ratings.
Check Your Specific Configuration: The Animas rack boasts a robust static capacity of 600 lbs and dynamic capacity of 300 lbs for most configurations, but ratings can vary by size. For precise load ratings for your specific rack length, contact Sherpa Equipment Co. directly.
The Sherpa Animas Rack boasts a robust static load capacity of 600 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 300 pounds. However, it is crucial to note that this load rating can vary depending on the specific size and configuration of the rack you choose. For the precise load rating of a particular size, it is highly recommended to contact Sherpa Equipment Co. directly.
For Toyota Tacoma Double Cab models from 2005 to 2023, the Sherpa Animas Rack features a no‑drill installation that utilizes the factory roof mounting points. The process involves removing the weather stripping and a vinyl cover to access the threaded holes. However, for Access Cab models, drilling is required for installation. Installation videos for similar Sherpa rack models are available and can provide a general overview of the process.
The Sherpa Animas Rack is available in various lengths to accommodate different camper and truck bed configurations. The compatibility is as follows:
DCSB refers to Double Cab Short Bed, and DCLB refers to Double Cab Long Bed.
The primary difference between the two fairings is their height, which is designed to accommodate a light bar. The half-height fairing is shorter, leaving space for a single-row light bar to be mounted. The full-height fairing is taller and provides a smooth face to deflect more air when a light bar is not in use.
Yes, if you install the half-height fairing without a light bar, it can cause a considerable amount of wind noise. The full-height fairing is the better option if you do not plan on installing a light bar.
The Sherpa Animas Rack is designed to be highly adaptable, featuring T-slot channels on the crossbars that allow for the easy mounting of various accessories. Compatible accessories include awning mounts, handle light mounts, tent mounts, and light bar brackets. The design with slots and holes all over the rack makes it possible to mount just about anything.
When you purchase a Sherpa Animas Rack, you will receive two sideplates, a wind fairing with edge trim, crossbars (the number varies by rack size: 3 for 16" & 21", 4 for 24" & 30", and 5 for 36" & 42"), mounting brackets, and all necessary stainless steel hardware.
The Sherpa Animas Rack is backed by a lifetime warranty, ensuring its long‑term reliability and giving you peace of mind on your adventures.

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.
The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov
We get it. You've got a lot of choice when it comes to online retailers.
Here's why we think you should shop with us at ExtrailAuto.
The wait time was more than I anticipated even after seeing the notification of long lead times. I have to give them props for giving some compensation for the excessive wait time. Having slightly larger holes would help with fitment. Had a hard time getting the front drivers side away from the pinch weld. Eventually had to use washers to add space away from the truck. Need to update pictures and instalation video for the new sliders they are now making
All packing and shipment were great, everything was there. I had to contract out the install because of arthritis, it took them two hours and looks perfect. Zero wind noise at any speed 0 to 100.
Absolutely love my new rack and roam cases. Appreciate the Sherpa crew as well for their hospitality while the installation was taking place.
Fit and finish is excellent. Looks great on the Bronco. No whistling noise at all, some additional wind noise over 60mph but not much different than it was without the rack. Assembly was not too difficult. Instructions and videos could be a little better.
The quality and dedication of the team at Sherpa is evident from the very first interaction with them, and is further proven in the product itself. This rack is well engineered, easy to assemble, easy to adjust, and holds up incredibly well with no loosening or rattling or shifting (even after over 200 miles of driving on poorly maintained roads). Currently operating with approximately 180 pounds of gear mounted on the bed rack and no issues at all so far. I expected the vibration to work the bolts loose over time, but every time I check they're all still snug. My only regret is that I didn't pull the trigger and get this rack sooner.
First of all, the team at Sherpa is full of passion for adventure and that passion shows in the quality of their products. This roof rack looks incredible and surprised me with it's sturdiness. No loosening of hardware, even after weeks of driving. Currently holding approximately 80 pounds of gear for everyday driving, plus an additional 110 strapped on top during a camping trip (and I even stood on top of the entire loadout). No warping, bending, twisting, or slipping. The fact that this matches the bed rack perfectly in height is the icing on the cake. Easily serves as a tie off for a tarp, rain fly, hammock, or whatever you need. Perfect for modular campsite setup and quick teardown.
I bought the Sherpa Crestone rack for my 2024 4Runner TRD Pro. Incredibly well-made and excellent design. Spend the extra , to get best roof rack in the market. You won’t regret it.
This is our first roof rack that we are going to use to put a RRT (roof top tent) on for back country trips. Well-built product that came with all the nuts, bolts and washers to complete the installation. Took about 1-1/2 to 2 hours install the rack. You will another person to help place the racks on top of the Jeep for final install. Overall, a great, well-built American product
Install was super easy. The quality was great. Customer service was quick to respond to any issues! I’ve already been getting compliments on it and what brand it is. This will be great for camping this year!
This is on my tundra absolutely solid rack looks fantastic extremely modular, which is why I went this route. I can use the whole rack when traveling and over landing then rock the chase rack only when the rest is not in use, I actually use the recovery traction board mounts for my shower room set up, which works amazingly just relocated the board somewhere shown in picture keep innovating TUWAand I’ll keep purchasing.
Good looking cat shields made of stainless steel with cooling holes. Priced well, easy install, no issues. Would buy again.
Great service from their staff. Robert help me through all the process with a request I had, he responded all emails in a timely manner and provided great help.
We received it within 3 days and installed the same day. Great awning and very well made.
the tent is very nice, comfortable and roomy.
Following the instructions was fairly easy. Its better to have second person to set it up. I really like the tent and the support that from ExtrailAuto. Really recommeded! Thanks
