stock roof bars 89 b2

[mattc113]

i've searched the forums and cant find any info on this. how much weight will the roof and factory luggage bars hold? im building a roof basket, and thought if the factory bars will hold the weight, just mounting to those.
all it will ever carry is camping gear, tent, sleeping bags, camp stove, firewood, ect. this is the only pic i have of the bars im talking about.

i think it says on there 100 pounds. Ill go look to make sure for you

 

[chrwilkins30]

hard to read but it says 100lbs evenly.

i figure it should hold the rack plus 100lbs. most racks are around 25-35lbs.

I've loaded my roof rack to the max!!
I think the most I put on mine was 15 8 ft sheets of 5/8 osb board
The rack held it but I think it pushed my roof in a lil bit but bounced back as soon as the weight was off
I'm guessing that was closer to 500lbs maybe more
You can definitely overload it so I don't think camping gear ect would be too much
