Rooftop tent for perentie...

powerful 4x4 racks fit on perenties (one on mine) just be sure to ask for the high mount brackets, they even have alloy tent racks

A full size alloy rack weighs in at around 26kgs and a rooftop tent weighs in at around 60kg's and by the time I secure the rack directly to ROP bars using bolts, nyloc nuts and a special clamp system lifting rack just above the bow in ROP bars this will be a lot stronger and more secure than a gutter mount rack. I'm pretty comfortable that will be fine. You could probably put a lot more up there but my experience is when you get over 100kg's the vehicle starts acting like a bit of a pig. The advantage a full length rack gives me is I can remove tent and have some extra storage in need arises...

the only problem with mounting a roof rack to the ROPS is its a fair distance between the mounting mounts, a normal roof rack over that distance would have three mounting points on each side. might just have to watch the flex depending on which design of rack you go with

Yeah I have taken this into account most the new alloy racks are rated at 500-600kg and have supports running the length of rack as opposed to across rack. So Flex shouldn't be an issue...
