I have a Kings RRT on my D2 mounted to the original LR crossbars with the delivered mounting plates. Sits firmly for over 8000k´s so far. I remember that the RRT has about 40kg ready for assembly.
I have a Tracklander Aluminium roof rack that is rated to 150 kgs.
Carries Howling Moon roof tent, foxwing awning, maxxtrax, hilift and mounting bracket, 2 x 4.5 kg gas bottles and a 20L can of diesel (which I only fill if we are leaving civilization). 13 000 kms so far this trip, some of it fairly gnarly. No issue.
Tonight will be night 100 and something in the Howling Moon roof tent.
Mini review:
- Factory mounting system sucked (nearly lost the tent on first shake down run). Made my own better one with some Aluminium bar and M12 Stainless bolts.
- A little fading of the rain fly in the sun.
- Packed up tent wet many times. Bedding never wet.
- Survived high winds no problem.
- Mattress super comfortable.
- 10 min set up, 20 min pack up.
- Apart from the ****ty mounting system, the rest of the tent is well made and durable.
- Would buy again.
Haven't tried the Kings product so will offer no opinion, but there is my /2c.

Hope you've got SLS and ACE so that it doesn't drive too bad with it on top...
