Hi Doug, With that setup, you're at the mercy of the rated bearing of your factory rack. I think with the old-style raingutter-mount Yakima racks, you could haul a second car on the rack. With Q-mounts and Railriders (for factory mounts) I think the weight limit is 150 lbs. You might read your owner's manual, though. At least make sure you're not voiding a part of your warranty by putting 200-ish pounds on your rack. I'm pretty sure the chief concern is the factory mount and not the Yakima accessories. You could also consider installing the bolt-on pseudo-raingutters and then using raingutter mount Yak racks. I can check with my friend, the Yakima dealer, for the acceptable load, if yours doesn't know. >It has the factory roof-rack allowing a Yakima tower >to slide right into the factory rail. <snip> >Does anyone know if this set-up is strong enough if I >carry three British heavies this way Thanks. -- Shawn W.
