Definitely a good rack and great company. Like the gamivity rack, the Sherpa has gutter mounted feet, so the side plate doesn’t touch the gutter. Just bolts onto the crossbars

Like the gamivity rack, the Sherpa rack has gutter mounted feet, so the side plate isn’t touching the gutter. No need to worry about rust. With that, still pretty easy to get your hand under crossbars for mounting, or you can remove the side plate if really necessary since it’s not structural

If a rack takes 8 hours to put on, that’s a huge issue 😂 these racks are quite easy to install. Easiest if you have a friend to lift it on each side, but not too heavy to do by yourself. This isn’t a job I would hire someone to do for you

Good question- there really shouldn’t be any long term maintenance on these. IMO it should be the same for most racks. If you need to replace any bolts or rubber feet, these can be purchased on their website pretty easily.

No doubt- Gamivity racks are great; they are right down the road from me. Modularity on these will be a bit different since all 10 crossbars have t-tracks. Also just a different style for those who like side panel style racks.

NEW PRODUCT Hi everyone, Posting on here about a new low profile rack option for the 60 series. While Sherpa has been making racks for 80, 100, and 200 series, they recently released a 60 series rack. I do not work for Sherpa, but I do work with them and utilize their products on a regular...

Thanks for this reply and advice, I ended up replacing most the seals on the front of the engine and finished up a couple days ago- still need to drive it to see however. Everything that was difficult to get to got swapped out, and I power washed the engine to get it cleaned up. I should be able...

I ended up doing exactly this. I had already pulled out the radiator and drained the oil, so cleaning and putting back together wasn’t really an option just to get a idea of exact leaks. Unfortunately the timing gear cover didnt actually seem to be leaking when I pulled it off, but I’m not too...

Hi everyone! After acquiring a imported 1hd-t for my 86 fj60 and putting it in, I've been chasing down a series of oil leaks. I went through the simple seals (oil pan, valve cover, turbo oiler, camshaft), but it's still pissing oil from the front. I had a fairly long roadtrip in it, so there...

This is great to know. Thanks for the input. This might be in the weed a bit, but do you have a minimum micro amount for filters on these engines?

Exhaust is quite smokey It’ll smoke a ton for a few minutes when cold starting. I’m also in Colorado so cold starting is at 30 degrees or so. Smoke at cold start is mainly white and smells strongly of fuel. After it’s warmed up it’s less smokey, but still smells like fuel. I MAY be seeing...

Is this real? I was trying to play to safe by having two filters, and one up top with bleeder, but it sounds like this could make it difficult.

Sorry for the late posting and update- the truck was going to SEMA and I was in a bit of a crunch to get thinks running to get there @Tennessee80 . @mudgudgeon thanks for the help with the air in the lines. I traced the air in the lines all the way back to the fuel tank (bummer because I was...

I coated the frame and underbelly with a rust converter and sealer from master coat (didn’t have any rust but it’s recommended to put down before paint). Then I put raptor-liner on the underbelly and a Mastercoat AG111 on the frame. I did quite a bit of research and determined raptor-liner is...

Thanks man! And yes, a new tcase and h55 underneath
