Description
This aluminum roof rack is for small, mid & full-size trucks including the Toyota Tacoma, Tundra, Ford F Series, Ram, Chevy, and more. Our racks are some of the toughest on the market and are designed to get your gear to the places that matter the most. Explore more and worry less with our industry-leading ¼” thick aircraft-grade aluminum side panels and stainless steel hardware. Secure your gear by bolting into one of the extrusion crossbars or by strapping it directly to the side plates. This rack is “drill-free” and requires zero modification to your vehicle.
The Crows Nest includes our adjustable feet that allow a range of height and contour adjustments to perfectly fit your trucks topper!
8 track nuts and a track system are required for installation. If your tracks are missing anchor plates, you can purchase them here (M6 only).
If installing on an RSI Smart Cap, we recommend choosing a crossbar length that is roughly 5" shorter than what is listed for your vehicle to account for clearance of the side doors.
Does NOT include a cab rack. This rack is only for the topper/camper shell of the truck. If you are also interested in a cab rack, please check out the racks listed under each specific truck make/model.

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!

The Crow’s Nest has everything I wanted in a roof rack: low-profile, light weight, versatile, rugged design, made in the U.S.A.
Couldn’t ask for anything better.
I had it shipped to Ohio and installed it myself in about an hour on a 2016 f-150 with a leer XR topper. I went with 55” cross bars and the fit is perfect. I can put two kayaks up there side by side (that’s mainly what I’ll be using it for).
Install was straight forward once I got the bolts sorted, would be nice if they were in separate bags but not a big deal. Customer service is 10/10, they were quick to respond to my emails when I had questions about sizing and super friendly over the phone when I called with a question during install.
I’m super happy with this purchase and glad I can support an up and coming business! I wish you guys the best, you’re doing great work!
Extremely high-quality product I needed a low profile rack to clear my garage, and this product, The crows nest was perfect. It looks very good on my gladiator also. highly recommend 👍👍
Installed on my 2015 Chevrolet Silverado and ARE Camper shell. Amazing quality and very simple installation. Kit includes all the hardware needed to install. PDF installation documents found on the website were very helpful. Aero Surf Rack pads fit perfectly. Probably 30 pounds lighter than my previous Rhino Rack platform setup.
This is an A+ company! Fantastic build quality, even though there was a delay in production they were very fast at responding to emails and I had to call tech support during install with no wait and they were very knowledgeable and professional. Also this rack is listed under “Tacoma” but fits all/most midsized trucks. I have a Chevy Colorado ZR2 and leer 100r.
In a world where quality and service are lacking, these guys are doing it right!!! Thank you!
Awesome.
The Product - I ordered the Crow’s Nest for my truck (2012 Quad Cab Ram with Snugtop). After discussion with the company we decided this would be the best fit. The roof rack fit perfectly and is totally solid. Very happy with the look and style of the rack. The logo cutout at the back is a great finishing touch. I’ve had the rack for about 3 months now and have taken my truck over some pretty rough, two-rut roads, and the rack is solid as a rock. I’ve added a RotoPax mount and container (using the Sherpa mount) and it fits seamlessly into the rack system. This rack will hold whatever the capacity of your topper/roof can handle.
The Service - I needed to make special arrangements for an awning/rack pick-up time and Sherpa Equipment couldn’t have been more cooperative. It all worked out perfectly. I stopped by their shop on a recent trip and everyone was enthusiastic and more than willing to answer questions and talk about their products. They continue to develop new accessories and grow as a company.
