I would halve the 150kg for my single cab chassis.
cheers
IIRC 110's and Puma's have 150kg, and Tdi / Td5 have 75kg... but there was some differences between years and markets.
That said, I don't remember who told me that :angel:
well google was fun....
take your pick of
150KG total
100KG total
75 KG total
100 KG on the roof rack
75KG on the roof rack
54.8kg on the roof rack and that was from the landrover uk websites official listing for a rack.
no indication as to if thats a static or dynamic roof load limit, one would hope dynamic.
75kg is the standard style rack, with an expedition rack (to use the OEM term) you can go to 150kg.
The difference is in the load distribution of the racks due to the number of feet/mounting points around the roof.
Or it could be the OEM expedition rack weighs 75kg more :wasntme:
After having a yak with the WeedMeister this arvo - the point is, his Deefer has been carrying a whole lot more up top than any handbook says it should. ;)
My 2007 manual states 75kg too. Still - old fat arse (me) has been up there for a few beers atop Mount Beadell so I guess mine has too and there goes my max load rating! :D
What did you get?Quote:

There may be a published load rating - but given that the front roof turrets are attached to the roof with a couple of self tappers, and pretty much it's own roof weight is enough to pull out the spot welds that hold the brackets in place. You might want to consider installing some sort of roll cage or at least a cargo barrier..... Just drive along a undulating road with your hand where the A pillars meet the roof and if it moves, you've probably pulled out the self tappers or the spot welds...
