I saw a pic on here of someone who threw their tent on top of the hardtop while it was mounted on their Jeep. Curious as to if anyone else would be concerned at the hardtop breaking or cracking due to the weight.....

 

bump for morning crew.

 

Dont feel like it can hold much.

 

Ive personally witnessed this. My father in law has a roof top tent set up on his jeep and uses it all the time. Me and my wife were in the tent and no issues i was 265 at the time and my wife i cant say out loud but the combined weight was 500ish. I didn't think it would but it was solid

 

Its pretty strong around the edges. I walk around on my top when I attach the hoist. But when I stand in the middle it starts to bend. I only weigh 150. I think it could hold a substantial amount of weight as long as it is spread out and the majority of the weight stays around the edges.

 

Just between the 60,000 of us, I would contact your dealer or Chrysler and get the official "word."
If you damage the top by putting too much weight on it, you'll be paying for the replacement.

 

I asked my dealer and he wasn't much help.

 

he prob had a cargo rack didnt he? Im talking straight on the roof

 

Depends upon how you are mounting something to the top. Most people who mount tents use mounts that attach to the body / frame and not the top directly.

 

I'n the Manuel jeep recommends not installing anything to the hard top. Not even a ski rack so don't thing there gonna be any help
