SO I have been looking at adding a Roof top tent to my 2001 hard top Jeep TJ.
Would like to do a 2 person tent, either build my own or buy one.
First problem I have is what rack to mount the tent on do you all use? The smitty built ones seem to have a 125-200 Lbs limit. with the tent and two people we are looking at 500-600 lbs most likely. Will these Roof racks handle the weight? Does the ladder and other downward supports help carry the weight so your rack can handle two people up top? I have rack mounts on the Hard Top but I don't think it would hold anything but a canoe.
Any help and pictures of your builds would be great.
Thanks
Tomm
