Ive got a full length steel (Tradesman) roof rack which weighs around 40kg + howling moon rooftop tent about another 40kg + side awning. Been this way for over 10 years without any issues. Also have a roof sack which we load up to 20 to 30 kg so all up over 100kg. As mentioned the handling is affected with this sort of weight up top and cornering roll is quite bad on stock suspension, fitting bilsteins and HD springs helped a lot.
Cheers

I do a lot of long distance driving on corrugated washboard gatch tracks. I think this in conjunction with the load of the RTT has caused these cracks.
Unless I mount my tent using the same rigidity as a Camel Trophy roll cage I think I have only myself to blame for this damage.
