Hi all,
Currently I am fitting out the 3.6L Wrangler Rubicon JL 2D MY22 with a Frontrunner Extreme Slimline II (please see the photos below).
Frontrunner cannot provide me with a roof load capacity as they suggest I need to go by the requirements suggested by Jeep.
However, Jeep flatly states in the user manual that there cannot be any roof loading on the hardtop whatsoever.
The Frontrunner has zero roof load on the hardtop as it is installed onto the roll cage underneath as well as support bars to the front bonnet.
Does anyone know what the potential roof load on the 2D would be with the front runner installed? The best I can find is a static capacity of 300 kg which might suggest a dynamic capacity of about 100 kg (from YT videos I've watched a rule of thumb appears of be a multiple of 3 between the two).
Interms of what I'd like to be able to load is a 270 awning (19 kg), king titan swag (16 kg, not an RTT just want to tie it down) and a rolled up inflatable queen mattress (9.8 kg). The installed weight of the frontrunner is 45.3 kg. The swag could easily be placed across the back of the boot but the mattress unfortunately won't fit very well, so I could minimise the weight by 16 kg but I'd prefer to have the swag tied on the opposite side of the awning so as to help balance the weight distribution.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
