Who Makes The Best 4Runner Roof Rack | Sherpa VS Prinsu 

I installed my Westcott Designs roof rack and ladder about 3 weeks ago and can honestly say I believe its as good if not better then the Sherpa and its certainly better than the Prinsu. Not only is the price comparable with the Prinsu you get the build more similar to the Sherpa for way less. I've not had any reduction in MPG's with my WD rack and there is no notable wind noise to speak of. I have heard plenty of complaints about the Prinsu's wind noise because of the allowed airflow underneath the rack and I have heard the same for improperly installed Sherpas. All in all I love my WD roof rack and have already enjoyed multiple nights sleeping in my RTT without any issues.

Appreciate your opinion on this!

Appreciate the kind words!

integrity move here. much appreciated in a world where craftsmanship and integrity are nearly extinct. just ordered Wescott sliders and Sherpa rack for our 4runner last night. can’t wait to put them through their paces.

@@stevenpeterson8444 thank you for believing in us! You can’t go wrong with Sherpa👌

No problem! Thanks for the great racks. I tried to be fair on both sides with this video.

Thanks for the feedback!

I have a prinsu rack and snagged ss hardware and mounting spacers from southern style offroad before install…few years in 0 complaints but would probably go victory 4x4 if doing it again. Those upgrades are a necessity with the prinsu imo but got mine Black Friday so couldn’t pass it up

No problem! We could've went deeper into it but just covered the basics

Thanks! Both are great options to go with.

Awesome! We hope you enjoy your new roof rack. If you need an install video, we got it!

Exactly what I wondred! Big miss on this comparoson video.

I hope the Sherpa works better for you!

Exactly. Sherpa should change the cross bars and Prinsu should change their mounting feet.

Yes those were Black Rhino Chambers and the tires were a 285/70

@@yotaxpedition thanks!

Per TOYOTA help when questioned. Max load is 110 pounds. They avoid all other questions (ie: static/dynamic) and stick to their 110 pound max capacity position. Hope this helps.

Well so much for a roof tent and my fat a$$, lol.

@@boblarson5474 😂😂

Horrible... just horrible.... their products corrode and rust like no other, and this is speaking from an area aka SoCal where there is little salt and hardly any rain. Their powdercoating is also very poor. Avoid at all costs

We have not installed a roof rack from CaliRaised yet.

@nattykanari5771 thanks for that, I'm here in LA and didn't think we'd have to worry too much about the corrosion but I guess it does depend how well they powdercoat things

look at the stainless steel racks from LFD Off Road, absolutely love it on my 5th gen

@@pngid thanks, will do 👍

maybe, but they look like pawpaw’s version of a roof rack.

We do not offer or have any experience with the Westcott Designs roof rack.

@@yotaxpeditioncontact Jeff at Westcott… I am certain he would gladly host a tour for you of his fabrication facility in Phoenix. The quality and value of his builds are truly unsurpassed.

@@stevenpeterson8444 to each their own… love mine. That’s what makes the world great, we have so many choices
