I should add I'm only 5'9" and standing on the tire don't help me to much. But my wife says watching me leap to the top of the XK is amusing.

At least I have a reciever rack to supplement the roof rack, in which I carry the heavy stuff, ie : coolers and grill

I only carry light stuff in the roof pod. Things like winter coats, clothes, sheets, blanket, pillows, all in plastic sealed bags in the pod. That keeps the center of gravity lower than if I had any real weight up there. If I get stuck, I do not want to sleep without warm bedding. There is a lock on the passenger side and the pod has struts to hold it open. I can stand on the open right rear door sill and reach into the pod. When the Airizona gang went drag racing I got some long pants out of the pod so that Old McDonalds wife could race, she was wearing shorts and the track officials would not let her race without long pants.

I could have sworn my owner's manual said roof weight limit was 200lbs. Do you have supplemental support or are you just packing it on till the roof caves in some? ththth
