looking around the forum for cargo roof carrier stuff and have had no luck. I have a XXL Thule cargo box that I will be loading up as much stuff as possible. I have seen that the factory cross bars should not exceed 200lbs but I may be looking at going over that amount. The size of this box is already a good 10-20 lbs and ill be throwing at least 2 maybe 3 luggage bags up there each being around 50 lbs. Along with the luggage I will cram w/e I will be taking with me. This will be a full family move and I'm not positive on what all I will be taking with me vs shipping back home yet. I'm looking to see if anyone has done this in the past or at least has loaded down their factory roof rack with maximum load or exceeding and see if they had any issues.
I'm not apposed to buying new cross rails but also don't want to spend $400 on them when they say the maximum load is 165 lbs. I would rather build something that can hold some real weight and enough to at least suffice my needs for this trip. I may even go as far as buying some angled bar and finding some way to bolt them to the factory rails or replacing them all together with the angled bar some how.
Any ideas or comments?
