Went to fit a Yakima LoadWarrior on my truck and was surprised by the weight limit?

I checked the Yakima website to and they say the max. load is 100lbs. for the racks??? (thats not much?)

I am installing on a 3rd gen 4runner (2002) with factory roof rack.

do you guys keep it under 100 lbs? (spare tire, high lift jack, kayaks, deer, etc...will easily go over 100lbs?)

i have had it way over 100 lbs before. i have sat in mine before. i have also had an half empty keg plus buckets plus a crap load of camping gear.

 

i think thats probably more of a "if you over load it and it breaks and hurts someone you cant sue us because we told you it only holds 100lbs " thing..

but, im probably wrong.

 

thanks guys...now that i know it ain't gonna cave in the roof if i put more weight up there...i am gonna go get it.

if you install it on the factory rails, 100lbs

if you install it with their feet pad onto the actual roof itself (not using the factory rails), its 150lb

Which one of Yakima's will fit? I saw different sizes, then the ability to make the sizes even bigger. I would plan on mounting it to the OEM roof rack rails, not the two that go across the roof that you place stuff on, but the rails that they screw into.
