Advanced search, keyword "rack", search titles only, search 80-series tech only.

Very first result (after this thread) has the title "Factory Roof Rack Weight Limit".

A Thule Rocket box stuffed with 3 cases of beer, two diving belts~ 40 pounds each, a cooler full of ab's, sleeping bags for 4, chairs ,a tent the size of a garage, and a couple of bales of wood and a pop up pit tent strapped to the side of that.

i'd say more than the 150 pound limit.

im not talking about the factory roof rack

lets say you had a roof rack made from uber strong hightech vacum cured composit that is used in space shuttles, now the rack itself only weighs 10 pounds but it can hold up to 100,000 pounds. you also used the strongest roof rack clamps known to mad to attach the thing

now i have a feeling that if you put 50 tons of shit on this roof rack that the black rail that the claps are attatched to will break. so at what point will they actually break?

I *totally* misread your question.

Apologies,
