xj roof rack for roof top tent

[yeha22]

I used a Yakima roof rack with 1A raingutter towers and 54" crossbars to mount our Camping Lab roof top tent. It was a simple setup and worked well for 4 months of cross country travel. Here are some pics and details from our trip blog: http://viaje-al-sur.com/about/ Hope that helps!

It looks like you only have two crossbars. Any ill effects from not having more support? Everything I see (rack or tent setup) has at least three mount points to support a tent.

I wanted to bump this again. In checking the load limits for what Yakima says *should* work on the XJ, two supports would certainly carry the tent and would come really close to holding the tent, me, and my wife. Would I be putting my rain gutters under too much stress to only use two support bars?

I have a Thule setup for my RTT, 2 supports worked fine with me +1 on there and feel very sturdy.
