Meet our Quick Detach - Heavy Duty Roof Rack For Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator

When you're building the perfect Jeep setup — whether it's for weekend overlanding, full-time off-roading, or just daily utility — one piece of gear matters more than most: your roof rack system. It needs to carry everything, install securely, and not slow you down when plans change. That's why we built the Sherpa QDHD Rack — a rugged, modular, quick-release roof rack that delivers both performance and freedom.

The QDHD system is the only rack on the market that allows you to remove and reinstall your Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator roof rack in under 10 minutes, without the hardtop in place. No tools required, no compromises, no downtime.

The QDHD rack line is custom-built for:

2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler JLU
2020–2025 Jeep Gladiator JT

This isn’t your average bolt-on accessory. The QDHD was designed from the ground up for Jeep owners who love hitting the trails and pulling the roof off at the drop of a hat.

Key Features:

✅ Quick Detach Knobs — No tools. No fuss. Take the rack off in minutes.
✅ Two-Piece Modular Design — Run the rack with or without the front freedom panels.
✅ Full Compatibility with Roof-Off Driving — Keep your gear up top and your Jeep open-air.

Built to Haul - Engineered to Free You Up.

The QDHD might be fast and flexible, but it’s still built Sherpa-tough. Whether you're hauling a rooftop tent, kayak, recovery gear, or your overland camp setup, this rack handles it.

Dynamic Load Rating: 500 lbs
Static Load Rating: 1200 lbs

That’s strength you can count on when you're hours from pavement — and flexibility when you're not.

Perfect for Overlanding, Everyday Use, or a Trail Ready Build!

With the QDHD, you don’t have to choose between:

Top-off driving and full gear storage

A clean look and off-road durability

You can have it all — and swap configurations in minutes, wherever the trail (or life) takes you.
