I thought the load limit was more than 30kg. I will definitely be mindful of that.
thanks.

The ends of the rail brackets are plastic. I have been looking fo some basic rails to upgrade but can't find any. Not sure how much that would increase the roof load limit?

So I bought one of these Aluminium Roof baskets ( www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GEWA46M/ref...=A1F86TF7G43XA2&th=1 ). After assembling and fastening it to the Jimny, my left roof rail broke at both plastic ends - this is right after one highway trip with no load on it btw. I am very disappointed to say the least. I mentioned it tot he dealer and they kept giving me bull about the warranty.

I have decided to move on and fabricate my own set of roof rails. I will be using 1" galvanized steel pipes for the build. I just need to find myself a fabricator who is able to bend it.
