Two questions:
1) How much weight can a healthy FJ80 / FZJ80 roof safetly support, in motion and when stopped? @thegogglesdonothing has mentioned extensive travels with a 120# RTT (plus rack of unspecified weight) and ~550# when stopped for the night. What's the scoop here, and where are the best places to look to see if the PO cracked the pillars? (I mean, he mucked up a bunch of other things, so why not that, right?) To be clear, I'm talking gutter mounts here, not the stock setup.
2) Best practices for gutter check and prep prior to rack mounting? Planning to run 5 brackets on each side. (Looks like @thegogglesdonothing runs 4 per side.) Should those be spaced evenly, or preference given to over-pillar positions? Gutters a little wavy from the PO's Gamiviti bars.
