RRT on factory rails

[rcebowl]

So I got the chance on a crazy deal for a tepui autana ruggedized.

I've seen several guys bolt the tent right to the factory rails. I just wanted to see if anyone was doing it with one as big this one. Tepuis website says its 195lbs. So basically 200 lbs. Is that too much for the factory rails?

Anyone have insight?

Thanks

Sorry I should mention I'm referring to the side rails (going front and back) not the cross bars I know those won't hold.

It should be okay, but keep in mind all the additional weight up top if you're going offroad. Your CG will be significantly higher. I've got a similar setup:

That 200lbs also includes the annex, which won't be stored on the roof. I'd weigh that and find out how much of the weight it actually is. I've got one for mine that we don't use, and I know the weight is substantial.
