Roof rating

[Grantw17]

So my hunt for an 80 series is going to be a long and winding road . I’ve decided to think about redesigning the 95 . Looking at buying a new Rtt , rack and awning that will also fit the 80 in the future . Total weight is 152kg ……. I’m guessing this is way over weight . Can anyone confirm this ? As google is giving multiple answers

Hi - roof rails are limited to 100kg. I imagine a rain-gutter mounted rack would be somewhat higher though.

Mine has a user manual limit of 75kg on the roof but I don't know if this is to allow for dynamic forces when off-road. I've had probably a little more than that on there when camping with no issues though didn't go off road apart from a few yards at the campsites!

Thanks both . I’ll be using the gutter rails but don’t think it worried about the dynamic rating . I’ll have to search for a lighter rack and tent I think
