RTT on 100 using OEM Roof Rack

[JohnnyS]

I'm thinking about mounting an RTT on my 2K 100; probably an Eezi-awn, to Yakima crossbars attached to the OEM rack with the Yakima Rail Grabbers.
Thus allowing me to haul my kayaks around when I'm not using the RTT, plus I can pull the crossbars off easily when not needed.
112 pounds for the tent plus 2 occupants and stuff, pretty easy to go over 450 pounds total.
Seems like a lot of weight on the factory rack.
Any input?
Thanks!

Nice I was just considering how to mount my roof rack to the factory 100 rack.
Thanks for the idea.

I've also used the stock rack with RTT's and they seem to hold up fine. I have the 6 post rack. I'm guessing the 4 post rack might be a little less sturdy.

I also have both Thule and Yakima mounts that attach to the stock rack. I'll sell them if anybody is interested. Makes it a bit faster/easier to put on the RTT.
