OEM roof rails on a 2016 4 Runner SR5

[davis31052]

Just picked up 2016 Runner and I am beginning the mods. My question is who's running the factory roof rails with aftermarket cross bars and a RTT. The tent weighs right at 100 lbs. add two adults at 300 lbs. and bedding to put me at about 420 lbs. on the factory rails. I'm wondering if I'm going to have a issue. No plans to install a full rack if I can use the OEM stuff for a few trips.

I want to say that Mountain State Overland is using the Yakima Core Bar System on the factory rails on their 4runner.

I run my RRT and awning on the factory side rails. I have been running this setup on this truck for a while now, as well as thousands of miles on my old '03 and have never had an issue.

I read somewhere that the static load capacity is something like 600LBS and the dynamic load capacity is 300LBS, but I can't remember where I saw that, so take that with a grain of salt.

Obviously driving around with 300LBS on your roof is NOT advisable, but you should be just fine with a RTT.
