4 Years & 100,000+ Miles of Testing. Lightweight Aluminum. Lifetime Warranty.
The Bed Rack, Elevated.The Sherpa PAK System is the result of four years and over 100,000 miles of brutal testing. Paying homage to the Sherpas of Nepal, this rack is engineered to carry the burden so you can Adventure with Confidence. Whether you are off-roading, overlanding, or running errands, this mid-height system is built to handle your gear without weighing you down.
Manufactured in Colorado with precision laser-cut 1/4" aluminum, the PAK System offers one of the toughest mounting structures on the market while remaining incredibly lightweight at only 45 lbs.
Why PAK Rack?The Pain: Most bed racks are heavy steel that rusts, increases center of gravity, and forces your gear high into the wind stream.
The Sherpa Solution: A Mid-Height design that keeps your gear low and tucked behind the cab, crafted from Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum with an industry-leading weight-to-strength ratio.
Key Features: The PAK System Advantage
Standing 13" tall, this rack keeps your gear low and tucked away on the trail, reducing wind drag and maintaining a lower center of gravity.
With slots and holes integrated throughout the towers and accessory braces, you can mount just about anything, anywhere on the rig.
Built with 1/4" aircraft-grade aluminum towers and stainless steel hardware with nylock nuts to ensure your gear stays put on the roughest washboard roads.
Features exposed rock light mounting points, making it easy to illuminate your campsite or the trail behind you without custom fabrication.
Includes two adjustable extrusion crossbars that allow for precise placement of Rooftop Tents (RTT) or cargo baskets.
We stand by our craft. If things get "a little too western" out there, Sherpa has your back with a full lifetime warranty.
Designed to match perfectly with Sherpa Cab Racks, creating a seamless, adaptable mounting surface across your entire Gladiator.
The mid-height system includes (2) Standard Accessory Braces as part of the package for immediate gear mounting capability.

"Finally, a bed rack that doesn't feel like a boat anchor on my Gladiator. The 45lb weight is a game changer for gas mileage and handling. I've spent thousands of miles on washboard trails in Utah and the stainless hardware hasn't budged. The mid-height is perfect—my tent sits just below the roofline, so I don't catch any extra wind on the highway."

Precision-engineered for the specific bed dimensions and mounting points of the Jeep Gladiator. This system provides a seamless fit that looks factory-integrated.
2020 Jeep Gladiator JT 2021-2023 Jeep Gladiator JT 2024-current Jeep Gladiator JTDimensions: 13" Tall x 63.5" Wide x 46" Long. Designed to keep your gear within the footprint of the bed for maximum trail agility.
Mid-height racks (13") are designed to keep the top of your gear or Rooftop Tent roughly level with or below the cab roofline. This significantly reduces wind resistance (better MPG), lowers the center of gravity (better handling), and allows for better clearance in garages or under low-hanging branches.
No. The PAK System is constructed from high-grade aluminum and uses stainless steel hardware. Unlike steel racks that can rust at the joints or where the powder coat chips, our aluminum construction is naturally corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for coastal or snowy environments.
Yes. The PAK System is designed for straightforward assembly. It includes all necessary hardware and custom bed mounting brackets. Most owners can complete the installation in a few hours with basic hand tools. A digital installation guide is provided above.
This specific PAK System is designed to mount to the bed rails. Compatibility with tonneau covers varies by brand and mounting style. Generally, covers that sit inside the bed rails may work, while over-the-rail covers typically require modification or are incompatible. Contact us for specific fitment questions.

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

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
