Sherpa Land Cruiser 80 Series Roof Rack - The La Sal - 1990-1997

Roof racks are one of the most popular things that you can get for your off-road vehicle. It lets you store more items on top of your car that cannot fit inside it such as kayaks, bikes, skis, and more cargo, and you can even mount a roof top tent on top of it for those long overlanding trips.

With that said let's introduce the Land Cruiser 80 Series Roof Rack. Let's start by saying that this roof rack for an 80 series land cruiser is designed and made in the US and has been tested in some of the harshest terrains to ensure its durability. It is a full-length rack made of high-quality materials so let's talk about it in more detail.

Best 80 Series Roof Rack

This Sherpa 80 series Land Cruiser roof rack has a sturdy and reliable 1/4" thick aircraft-grade aluminum side panel construction with 3/16" thick steel gutter mounts. It also has a black powder coat finish to it to prevent any chipping, scratches, or even erosion in muddy environments. The aluminum construction makes this roof rack both very durable as well as lightweight, weighing only 60 lbs.

This is also a very strong roof rack as it has a static weight capacity of 700 lbs, and a dynamic weight capacity of 300 lbs. It also comes with 10 crossbars. A unique thing about this roof rack is that it retains direct load path mounting. That means that the feet of the mounts attach directly to the load bars so that all the weight that you put on top of the roof rack goes straight down to the gutter as opposed to going down to the side plate.

You have a couple of wind fairing options to choose from and those are the full height which is better for the aerodynamics of your vehicle and the second is the half height which lets you mount a light bar on top of your roof rack so that you could illuminate the road when driving at night. You also have a couple of finishes to choose from both for the side rails as well as for the cross bars of this 80 series roof rack.

Apart from that this rack also has handles on it and tie-down points which you can use to secure your load from slipping out or from moving when on the road. 

No Drill 80 Series Land Cruiser Roof Rack.

Another fantastic feature of this roof rack is this. Unlike racks that require drilling, this one can be installed much more quickly. Now, in addition to being much quicker to install, many individuals choose no-drill roof racks because they do not want to damage their new vehicle by drilling into them.

The holes you drilled also greatly increase your possibility of creating leakage spots, which is never a good thing. Because, really, who wants their car to leak when it's raining? As we have already stated, they install much more quickly, but what if you want to remove them? If you choose to replace the rack or even upgrade it you can do it so much faster. Or, if you don't need them any longer, just remove them.

Now, this rack is also a non-drill 80 series Land Cruiser roof rack and the mounts clamp onto the gutter of your vehicle. That makes installing this roof rack very easy and also very fast. It does not require any additional modification to your vehicle in order to install and use it.

Low Profile 80 Series Land Cruiser Roof Rack

A low-profile roof rack increases your car's fuel efficiency. How? Well, having anything bulky and non-aerodynamic sticking out of your car causes drag, which slightly slows it down or increases gas consumption while you're attempting to go quicker.

So as you may already tell, this is also a very low-profile 80 series Land Cruiser roof rack as it is only 2" tall. That means that it is very aerodynamic and that it won't make a huge impact on your fuel tank. You can get it with a wind deflector which will lower the aerodynamic drag even more and lower the noise when driving.

The only downside to being so low profile is that you cannot really store anything under the rack itself. At least not anything big and bulky. You could always fit a foldable camping table underneath the rack or something else similar in size. However, be sure to fasten it so that it doesn't slide onto the road when driving.
