So, I've got a JW Offroad roof rack on my GX w/ an Alu Cab mounted on top. Started to run some wiring for lights this morning when I noticed some rust and possible structural damage to my rack.
The Alu Cab had two load bars attached to it then attached to two of the bars on my rack. I'm posting a picture of one end of a bar but all 4 ends look just like this. The part that looks bubbled out isn't just the paint but the metal has bent out some. Before I bought this rack I did research on it and found others running an Alu Cab on theirs and even called JW to make sure it would hold the weight of the tent and Shadow awning because Prinsu told me theirs would not.
How unsafe does this seem?
