Over the Cab Rack

Hi, This is john from Corona, CA

I have the '09 Grandy, with the 2 peace, seemed and screwed in roof, and 6 buckle clamps......

I'm looking at having a forward over the cab to front bumper rack built.... its gonna be out of the budget for sure.
i know that FWC says i can stow 1000lbs on the roof, distributed evenly...
here is my concern;

1. loaded roof top, pull over to crash on a road trip and having to unload the roof just to sleep. at camp site that wouldn't be an issue.
2. i would like to be able to add more then the 2 interior roof assist's, on the outside and have them removable when no topside load is an issue, so i can close.
3. wind drag and force on the 6 weak clamps, with a load, especially on a heavy head or cross wind days, and ripping the roof off.
4. the interior rear wall upright panel supports are tweaked a little. can i replace with something more durable and stout?

OR should i just have the rack built
