Roof Top Tent and Rack

Hi guys. Does anyone know if there is a full length and width deck to fit on a 4th gen 4Runner. There is alot of stuff out there for the LandCruiser and Land Rovers which is understandable since these models are sold in almost identical form around the world.
The only box racks I have seen are just a little longer than the area between the 2 cross bars.

I want the rack to function for the following uses :
Sit on top deck area to watch motor racing etc.
To fit an Eezi Awn or like 2 man roof top tent which flips out over the back, and leaves enough space on the rack to put a chair or 2 up there.

Since I doubt there is something out there designed to fit 4R, has anywone done a modification to make one fit?

Will the factory bars withstand the weight?

I haven't seen anything like that for a 4runner. In regards to your weight question, the factory rack is only rated to 150lbs evenly distributed.

The 150lbs is a dynamic load limit. (meaning when the truck is moving).
that is awesome! your truck looks so hardcore.

I went with some Thule Crossroads feet and loadbars for added strength.
that's a steep price. I don't think I would spend that much becuase I probably wouldnt use it.
