Default So I'm building a roof rack...
So I'm building a roof rack for my 96 4dr, but have one concern; how heavy is to heavy? Obviously a full metal roof rack will weigh quite a bit more than the factory rack. How much weight can my roof handle??

The cross bars that are already there say 250 lbs max (i think) so i wouldn't go any more than that.

I think they say 200, but I know what you mean, I'm sure it wont end up weighing any more then 30ish pounds, so I should be pretty good
