Roof top ten on hard lid

lewismcc6 · Dec 9, 2016

I was wondering if anyone has had any success mounting a roof top tent on the factory hard lid by fitting tracks and roof racks. Is the lid tough enough to take the weight or can it be braced to do so?

Its fiberglass but i was thinking of steel reinforcing and making sure the weight was over the sides of the tub

You would be better off put a rear alloy sports bar on and mounting it on the front and rear sports bars, have seen that done before.

Fiberglass or plastic, reinforced it won't take the weight of a roof top tent with a couple bodies in it.

I'd tend to agree with the above comments, it's just not practical. Why not on the roof have you got a bit of gear up there?.
