Holy house building, batman!
That just can't be safe (braking, stearing, etc.).
I've seen reference (this forum i'm thinking) to hold all roof born weight to <150# with 100# or less best. That is what I am running with.
But good to know that there is a huge factor of safety there.
I remember seeing this shot. Love it. People think the factory racks are so much less than what they are. Crazy.
Hope you didn't have to slam brakes with that load though, yikes.
I bought mine from Trail Tailor, 6 for $125 - great deal & great guy.
Another thumbs up for Gamiviti mounts. 6 feet used to mount up my frontrunner slimline rack.
1999 Land Cruiser
I ran a six foot stick of 1X1 angle iron down the roof channel, bolted it down in all six spots and used this as the base. Once you have that your options are open. I'll try and get better pictures later.

Anyone use a gamiviti or similar tower with aluminum tubing from 80/20 inc
Think I’m going to try it
I don’t need a $1000 rack to hold my tent and awning just some sturdy rails
Same rails CBI Offroad uses on their Prinsu Racks FYI
