Hey All-

Just wondering - I constantly see tons of photos showing Rovers with a huge amount of gear on top of their roof racks and I'm planning on buying a rack for my Disco II. Why is it then that LR sets the maximum roof rack load at only 100 lbs then (for the '04 Disco II at least) when they know that owners insist on carrying a LOT more weight than that? A tire and a few gallons of gas and you're already past the 100lb limit. Are there ways to safely increase the load capacity that the mounting track for the roof rack can handle?

Here's another thought - the 100lb maximum capacity that they're referring to is for the manufacturer installed roof rack and not the type of roof rack that gets installed onto the perimeter track? Does anyone know the maximum (safe) load for the perimeter track type of roof rack installation???

Thanks!
