Hey Guys, I just got some roof racks and basket put on the Jimny. I bought a 2 metre awning today and I worried that the roof rails/bars won’t be able to handle the weight with that, swags etc on the roof. Suzuki recommend a max of 30kgs. Has anyone done the same and have the roof rails held up ok? Thanks for your help!

Mine broke off, but I was tying stuff straight to the bars, and my roof is sunburnt so the plastic probably was too. A basket like the above should hold them pretty sturdy and you should be ok, but keep in mind they aren't invincible. |

Travelled on rough terrain and beach work with no worries... I'd say 100kg's is a bit excessive, but good to know they could cope with that in theory. I have a roof box up there which I have filled full of the lightweight gear when i go camping like my sleeping bags, small tent deck chairs no worries. |
