We just purchased our newest Jeep and are looking to install a roof rack to carry kayaks, skis, etc. Thule guarantees (through fit guide and answered email) their 300 feet with 58" load bars will work up to 165 pounds. The problem is, in the Jeep's owners' manual, Jeep will not guarantee that the Freedom top can reliably accommodate any extra weight with the exception of elements (rain, snow, mud).
I have used Thule in the past and am confident in their guarantee. I would like to know if there are any owners of the new Freedom tops with a roof rack and your personal experiences with either Thule or any other roof racks which may be available.
I have seen the expedition style racks but am not sure we need something that intensive or pricey.
