The Sherpa Equipment Co. 3rd Gen 4Runner Load Bar System is designed to provide a simple, low-profile, and highly functional solution for mounting gear directly to the factory roof tracks. Built specifically for the 1996–2002 Toyota 4Runner, this system replaces factory crossbars with a stronger and more versatile setup for carrying everyday cargo and overland gear.

Constructed with durable aluminum extrusion crossbars and proprietary mounting hardware, the system delivers improved strength while maintaining a lightweight design. Each crossbar features multiple integrated slots, allowing users to mount accessories such as roof boxes, bike racks, and recovery gear using standard T-nuts.

Engineered for ease of installation, the system mounts directly to factory roof tracks using included anchor plates, eliminating the need to reuse OEM hardware. Its clean and minimal design makes it an excellent alternative to full roof racks while still providing reliable cargo-carrying capability.
