Rooftop tent on sports bars

[Bowlery]

Hi Just wondering if anyone has mounted a rooftop tent on the sports bars over the tub of the D40? I have ladder racks attached and was thinking of getting a bracket made? Any ideas

Cheers!!

Looking forward to some answers here myself - thinking of doing the exact same thing.

I probably wouldn't, they seem too flimsy to be any good, recon they might damage the tub lips where they bolt on also

The factory sports bar is only rated at 40kg I believe and the plastic brackets arent worth squat. I replaced mine with a Toymota bar so its at least got some strength. As Just says its only bolted to the lip so not strong at all. You would need to make up something to carry the load down to the tub mounts
