    Tent on the back seat, kids laying flat on the roof holding onto the roofrack.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Roof racks can carry a crapload of weight, I can't remember if the Thule ones are rated for 50 or 75kg but I've never had any issues loading everything I need to onto mine, no dramas with the roof as the feet sit on the outside edge over the door frames.

    Would highly recommend a roof box, all the long, light, and otherwise annoying stuff goes up there so there's room in the car for the tent and important things like chilly bins full of beer.
    Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987

    being a professional badass, i got 3 beds and a chicken hutch on my badass ute with roof racks.
    Load ratings are for pussies, i put 2t behind the station wagon the other day.

    I think I failed to follow the installation instructions.
