I've walked around on the full length rack on my 88". It does flex slightly, but seems OK (I'm marginally over 100kg). I also stand on the roof occasionally & that's not bent (yet).

A full length 'Foley' will carry quite a bit of weight distributed evenly.....
Loaded Roof bag/80 litres of fuel/water/spare wheel AND a bunch of slightly tipsy leafer mad friends.... (on VERY private land though)

I know a chap who was part of a climbing club at university, that ran on a trip he missed. They were on the way back in the minibus with a full length roof rack, when they decided it would be good fun to all get on top and tie on for a bit. The one chap driving thought it would be really funny to brake suddenly, and watched in horror as the roof rack, with minibus load of climbers tied onto it, landed on the road in front of him... :aaagh:

This roof rack is very special. But I think it's not available any more, or is it? I would like it.

Hi Stefan

No Problem to make a copy of that rack, if you want one? Just could do with a few more photos and a few dimensions would make life easier, but not essential.

Let me know.

Cheers Mick

Hi Mick,
my roof rack and roof tent is now as in the picture. So I`m thinking if any change would make sense. But this huge brownchurche expedition roof rack is really exiting. I will let you know if I`m going to change my roof rack. But if I change then this brownchurche expitition one. But at first I will order a wardrobe from you :wine:

Stefan
