Dare I say it, but that looks Normal For Norfolk. Sorry.
Temeraire (2018 quasar grey automatic)
One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.
ADOS Attention Defect Ooooh Shiny!
Love it! Ha. There ends the 30kg debate with 1 photo.I have a roof tent on my stock roof rack I wouldn’t worry about the limit
It doesn't change the limit or the significance of any part of this discussion. It shows that people choose to ignore the limit which has never been disputed.
Here's a picture of my old Jimny towing about 3,000kg.
Based on this evidence can I now recommend everyone ignores the towing capacity? I mean, nothing bad happened so it must be fine.

The 30kg limit for these little bars does seem like quite an arbitrary number if you put it into perspective. It’s so low that it essentially means you should find a different solution - it’s almost a get out for Suzuki. Put a low rating on them so people find a different solution for anything which is anything more than moving a few planks of wood or a up top bike rack.
I hadn’t necessarily meant the 30kg debate (as a whole) just in relation to a roof tent as per the thread topic!

As I have said before, Suzuki have good reason to be cautious about anything that will adversely affect the stability of the Jimny. Following the law suit as a result of the appalling actions of the Consumer Reports magazine in America in the mid 80s with the gen2 trying to deliberately tip it over, Suzuki can be forgiven for being sensible.
