Rooftop Camper Fitment

Another thing on rooftop tents. Most seem to be around 50kg, doesnt leave much left over for me and the mrs! The most heavy duty rack ive seen for the hilux i've seen is 100kg so i'm thinking it's just not going to happen! These are track mount type roof racks, are the ones that mount onto the gutter sills in patrols/cruisers rated to alot higher then 100kg?
On the strenght side of things, I got a rhino set on my rocky from roof rack city and the guy said it should be ok for up to around 300kgs. Front is in the gutter, rear is mounted to the fibreglass canopy. Have had 4x 31" simex ET's on em, held up fine
. Have also tore the front rack clean off the car, had a snatch strap around it to hold the car steady in an akward angular recovery and some1 didn't give it enough slack
. Put it back together and its fine. So there are some HD ones out there
, that or I just got lucky 




60 + Turbo, 33"s :armsup:
Hmm I might have to shop around a bit, will try a specialist roof rack mob. Theres a couple around Brisbane that I know of. $300kg would be plenty!
**edit**
Just searched roof racks on whitepages.com and turns out the place I was thinking of is roof rack city at kedron
I'd almost think about getting 3 racks, 2 on the cabs roof and 1 on the canopy. Im impressed that your canopy is taking that sort of weight, didnt think they would be that strong!

The 100kg load on the hilux racks is a moving load not a static weight rating
the racks will support you no probs, and the canopy racks mount to the floor or rail of the tray they don't just mount to the canopy.
