I can most diffidently feel the COG change when I have my basket loaded down for trips. The body roll is magnified with the lift tires then all the weight up top.

So has anyone found the crush weight of the factory roof bars so the rest of us can stay shy of it?

I read somewhere years ago that the rated weight is 1/3 of the maximum. Maybe someone made it up or used it as a guide.
I'm planning on a roof rack in the future and was thinking that a small ladder on either the driver or passenger side. With an off road rear bumper you could bolt it to the bumper and the roof rack and have it permanently fixed. Just need Doc to make me a roof rack too.
Ya i was thinking along the same line just on the back with some hinges so it moves with the tail gate
I was thinking more so on the left or right side from the part of the bumper that wraps around to the fender flares. Right in front of the tail lamp housing. Just something really close to the body. This way you don't have to worry about the liftgate, or hinges....etc. Try to picture it off this image.
Take a look at the ladder on a Discovery. It hooks over the top edge of the tailgate.
