I have a 2018 JLU with the Mopar/Thule root rack. I know the rack is rated for max 150lbs. My friend was up there helping me load kayaks and she weighs about 135. There was also a 15-or-so pound cargo basket (also Mopar/Thule) on the rack. She was standing on the roof (not my idea!) and it held up fine.
I’m wondering, with the load spread out between the four points of contact with the hard top, would a rooftop tent like the one below work with that rack?
I’m thinking that the dynamic (moving) loaf mustn’t exceed 150lbs but it seems like it can handle more than that weight when stationary.
