this was so helpful. I could not for the life of me figure out how these 100 lb tents were being mounted on 165 max racks. explaining static vs dynamic rating was helpful. thank you!

This is a very helpful overview of roof rack system for those who are planning to buy one.

Good stuff. Thanks.
My current car (Ford Kuga (Escape to you in the USA)) has a reduced load rating (of 60kg) because of the glass panoramic sunroof up there already. 1st time I've had a car where the car is weaker than the bars. (I can still fit a 'soft' roof tent at 55kg + 5kg for the bars so still OK).

Hi James, what kind of system would you recommend for a complete roof rack systems for a 2008 Toyota Tundra Double Cab 5.7L Engine

First off, great video. I have been torn between what route I want to go when it comes to setting up my truck for a top tent and this cleared up some general questions for me. I do have one question still kicking around though. I am liking the idea of "over the bed racks" more and more and I have found many with options for either bolt-on or pinch bracket mounting. Should I steer clear of the pinch bracket? Are the along the same lines as the "door clamp" system mentioned in the video, resulting in a much lower static rating than a bolt-on or does that rule tend to apply just to those door clam systems? Thanks a ton!

Great video guys! I have a question, if I purchase a 2011 Nissan Xterra it states that it has a 150lb load on the factory rack. Does that mean that If I purchase a Smittybilt Gen 2 XL overlander tent I can attach it directly to the factory rack without purchasing new ones?

Thanks for the video guys. I have a Jeep JKU and I take my hardtop off for daily commuting, but I need a roof rack for a rooftop tent for overloading. What kind of rack would be best for my situation?

What is the model for the topper you showed?

[busalove]

I'm not lookin for durability or reliability. I own a 370z, and I want to put a roof rack on just for aesthetics! 🤣
