Description

Sherpa 2nd/3rd Gen Tacoma Load Bar System (2005-2023)

Silicone-Free Installation. 500 lbs Static Rating. Three-Bar Modular Strength.

The Adventure-Ready Solution for Gen 2 & 3 Tacomas

The Sherpa 2nd/3rd Gen Tacoma Load Bar System is engineered for the 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab owner who demands utility without the bulk. By utilizing Sherpa’s "Peak Series" DNA, we’ve created a three-bar system that is stronger, lower profile, and more versatile than standard factory or generic crossbars.

Manufactured in Colorado, this system is the perfect middle ground between a bare roof and a full platform rack. At just 12 lbs, it provides a rock-solid foundation for gear boxes, recovery boards, and ski racks while maintaining a clean, factory-like aesthetic.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: Most aftermarket bars require messy silicone sealant to prevent leaks, which is difficult to apply and prone to failure. Generic bars also lack enough mounting points for modern off-road gear.
The Sherpa Solution: We use innovative rubber roof seals for a weather-tight fit without the silicone mess. Our 3-bar setup provides 50% more mounting flexibility than standard 2-bar systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Why three bars instead of the standard two?

The Tacoma roof allows for multiple factory mounting points. By providing 3 bars, Sherpa offers a much more stable platform that better distributes weight and provides extra surface area for mounting longer items like skis or ladders.

+ Does this system affect my gas mileage?

Because these bars stand only 2.5" tall and are extremely lightweight (12 lbs), they have a negligible impact on fuel economy compared to taller basket-style racks or heavy steel platforms.

+ Can I mount a Rooftop Tent to these three bars?

While these bars have a 500 lb static rating, the physical footprint of most RTTs is better served by a full-length Sherpa roof rack. However, for smaller gear or lightweight accessories, these three bars provide significantly more support than any factory crossbar.

Prop 65

California Residents

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
