SHERPA BELFORD Sequoia Roof Rack
HARDWARE CHECKLIST
Exact hardware color counts may vary based on the options selected at checkout.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Remove your stock roof rack (if applicable).
Loosen all stock rack bolts before fully removing any of them. This will
prevent the capture plates from working loose inside of the roof.
USING TNUTS
PRE-ASSEMBLY
Required Components:
6x 1/4”-20 x 1/2”
6x 1/4” Flat Washers
6x Tnuts Drop 6 tnuts into the slots on the cross member and line them up
with the holes in the fairing. Secure with 6 bolts and washers.
Required Components:
12x 1/4”-20 x 5/8”
12x 1/4” Flat Washers
12x 1/4” Tnuts Secure top of the mounting brackets to the three main
cross members.
Leave the hardware that attaches the mount to the crossbar loose. This will
make it easier when centering the bars later.
Required Components:
10x M8 Bolts
10x M8 Flat Washers Next, install the three sets of mounting brackets.
The middle brackets have a single hole. Align the rubber spacers with the
factory holes in your roof gutter. The thin side of the rubber should be
positioned towards the center of the vehicle.
Position the mounting bracket over the rubber spacer and secure it with 10
bolts and bonded washers passed through the bracket, rubber, and into the
holes in the roof.
The bonded washers should compress and become flat, but not concave. Do not
over tighten these mounts.
TORQUE SPEC: 22in-lb
Required Components:
12x 1/4”-20 x 1”
12x 1/4” Flat Washers After the main support cross members have been
secured to the vehicle, you can use a tape measure and center all of the bars
on the vehicle. We recommend measuring from the inside edge of the mount to
the outside face of the crossbar.
Once all the bars are centered, install the side plates. Align the small slots
in the rack side with the ends of the main support crossmembers. Secure it
using 12 bolts and washers. Leave the bolts loose enough to move the side
plate to the position that matches the curve of the vehicle.
Once the rack is positioned correctly, tighten down all of the hardware for
the rack sides, mounting hardware and roof track bolts.
THE NEXT TWO STEPS CAN BE COMPLETED IN ANY ORDER.
Required Components:
4x 1/4”-20 x 1”
4x 1/4” Flat Washers Position the wind fairing in line with the diagonal
slot at the front of the rack. Align the bottom of the fairing with the tip of
the roof rack and secure it using 4 bolts and washers.
Required Components:
24x 1/4”-20 x 1”
24x 1/4” Flat Washers Secure all of the remaining cross members to the
rack system. Position according to your load requirements. It is recommended
that you keep your load as evently distributed across your rack as possible.
