Shorter to fit your light bar
This is option is a few inches shorter so that there is room for your light bar behind your fairing. Pair this with our light bar brackets and it will form a cut off line to reduce light wash on your hood.
Smooth face to deflect more air
Don't have a light bar? Not a problem! The Full Fairing is for you. This will make sure that you are deflecting all of the air around your rack. You can always upgrade later if needed!

Premium quality. Extremely strong. Will accommodate different boxes and travel gear. Much better than the stock roof rack. Excellent installation. Highly recommended. A+!
After 2 full years of owning the Matterhorn with the half height fairing on my 1993 2nd gen 4runner, I figured it's time to finally give a review. Short answer, its a premium rack that has withstood weight, weather, vigorous trails, and holds almost anything you can throw at it. Long answer. Owning a 3.4 swapped 5spd 4x4 2nd gen 4runner has its ups and downs. 2nd gens dont have a sick aftermarket like 3rd gens. It took months looking for a rack that met my needs. Bam! Sherpa stumbles into my searches and onward began to see if it will fit. Luckily sherpa vaguely states "will fit 2nd gens" and so i pulled the trigger and purchased it. This is something that they should really push in their ads and include in the title so that when another possible consumer searches "2nd gen 4runner roof rack" this presents itself as the first option. So many times on the trail or the SoCal @yotatrader meet, someone (with the same vehicle) asks "where and how can I get that roof rack, I've searched eveywhere?!". I always let them know its from the bros at sherpa and that it will bolt on 100% of the time if they got the stock roof rail. It's held up well these last 2 years, im sure it'll last way more
Great looking rack, and great product. Install was easy and straight forward. I love the height strength and durability of the Diablo rack, installed on my 2023 Rebel 2500.
Excellent product. Fit was perfect and with the video on YouTube, it made the installation a breeze! 10/10 would recommend!!
I've had this rack since it was first introduced. I love it. Sturdy, fairly easy to install, no wind noise, and it looks great. It doesn't have as many tie-down points as I'd like, so I had to buy a bunch of those Smiley things that Sherpa sells. Installation kit was missing some bolts but Sherpa made it right without question.
