The factory rack can carry 300 lbs albeit spread out. I don't have a photo, but essentially I took a ratcheting strap and pulled it through a handle (not the center one) of the tent bag to prevent fore/aft sliding. Try looping the strap once around tent bag through the handle. Use one strap at each end of the bag.

I am not worried about the capacity of the rack. I am concerned that the weight of the oztent on two narrow support points will put too much stress on the aluminum frame of the tent. When I had the Frontrunner rack, the tent was supported by 12 slats so the weight was evenly supported.

I have traveled 3 weeks with the tents on the two crossbars off road in Moab and Colorado and detected no issues with the tents.
