Have not heard the greatest things about Prinsu quality and not a fan of the big gaps in front fairing.

Curious to hear about what you’ve heard. I’ve had Prinsu in the past and had 0 problems.

Rusting hardware, poor fitment, accessories not fitting rails very well. Mainly with the "OG". I'm a big believer in "you get what you pay for" and to me the sherpa or the westcott seem like a better Rack, but to each their own.

Here's a closer look at the Sherpa Capitol Rack on my TRD ORP iForce MAX. I debated between the Capitol and the Westcott Lo Pro but ended up going with the Sherpa, and I'm glad I did.

It doesn't have that much of a higher profile, but has enough clearance to allow for easy installs of the RTT, awning and other accessories. I can also confirm that it does not interfere with the sunroof/moonroof.

I installed the Sherpa last night, and the blue and red tape is marking the crossbars that will serve as attachment points for my FSR Aspen V2 RTT and a Kammok Crosswing awning. Coming soon!

PS: A quick note about the Kammok Crosswing. They recently announced a price increase that will go into effect starting June 16th, but they're honoring the current pricing until then, so if you're thinking about getting one, now's the time!

I'm definitely leaning towards the Sherpa, it's a great looking rack and I've heard nothing but great things about it! They also give a great First responder discount.

KC is coming out with a rack in a few weeks

How did you guys remove the plastic shrouds covering the stock roof rail attachment points?

Plastic pry tool to release the clips. Google videos for removing the 5th Gen rails. They’re almost identical.

Wife and I ended up deciding on the Sherpa. They also gave us a nice first responders discount! Thanks, everyone

Thanks for the great advice. I got it off using the 5th Gen removal procedure!

I installed the Sherpa Capital rack on my TRD ORP. Great fit, solid quality. I confirmed that my Yakima Skybox mounts easily on The Capital with plenty of clearance between the mounting claws and the roof.

I decided to go with the capital I just got shipping notification!

Love my Crestone on my 2021 and will be going Sherpa on the 2025 also. Buddies have noticed how much better it's built than Prinsu/others.

The Capitol is a super nice roof rack and Sherpa is awesome company to support. If anyone is in the market feel free to shoot us a DM for a discount.

I was leaning towards the westcott because it has the KC light mounts which I am looking at getting for my Trailhunter. I didn’t see this option for Sherpa
