Help me find this roof rack

Hi Guys, I was on the freeway today on the Long beach freeway (710) and saw a second gen with a very nice rack. I couldn't see the brand but I saw that it had a mountain design at the rear on the side. The design was carved into the metal.

 

If you think you posted a photo it’s not showing up.

if you didn’t, it was easy for me to find.
Is this it? https://sherpaec.com/products/grand-teton

 

I couldn't take a pic, I was driving....

 

Mountain? All I can think of is Spod but they don’t make racks.

 

I edited my post above.

 

It had like 3 mountain peaks

 

yes SR. thank you so much. Shut more expensive than prinsu and less load capacity

 

pretty sure it has more capacity than prinsu due to thicker metal which is why it costs more

 

Um, you may have that backwards, however you may have been correct in regards to an old prinsu design.

Prinsu 600 dynamic - 1000lb static load

Sherpa 400 dynamic - 700lb static load

I guess so. I think Sherpa was stronger and 1/4” vs 3/16”. Maybe things changed recently?

got mine on a lucky rare eBay find used for cheaper so it didn’t make much of a difference and not running anything crazy on it

pros and cons to each.

-Sherpa = rubber pad mounts, no silicone
-Prinsu = option of nice looking fairing decal
-both have accessory options
-different looks
-both lack a drop down toggle lightbar fairing like what caliraisedled came up with

Sherpa came out with sport rack that is thinner and not as strong as grand Teton for lighter duty at a lower cost

others like Prinsu (possibly old style if there is one?) seem more common and more findable on the used market for lower price

 

Smart for them since it seems like most people with one of these 80/20 racks on their “rig” don’t actually put anything up there and just going for the look.

 

This one is from RCI https://rcimetalworks.com/product/roof-rack-05-present-tacoma/

 

I only say it's a new style because Prinsu changed the Extruded Metal Tubing design. Other than that, it looks similar to the old style. That may be where you got your information from, based on the old crossbar style. I have the old style crossbars but I'm not loading down the top with something heavy like an RTT for example.

I think they did change it. Just looked this up. According to the pictures here, it looks much beefier and different styling

says increased load capacity

• All new crossbar that is 44% stronger

 

Shut, I think you are right, This is the one that I saw. Wondering whats the dynamic load capacity.
This is pretty much the same price as the old Prinsu. I need it to carry heavy things on a twisty road so I like the new Pro Prinsu but the 4 weeks wait kills me, I need it for next week...(Work)

 

Give them a call, they’re easy to reach.

 

Prinsu easy to reach ???

 

RCI easy to reach

 

After some reading I learned that doesn’t matter how much weight the rack holds dynamically, the weight is limited by the Tacoma roof and that’s 165LBS
I think I’ll get the RCI, way cheaper than the new prinsu and faster turn around

 

I went with prinsu and I think it looks really nice
