Hardtop load capacity

[Predator]

Does anyone know what the load capacity is on the hardtop? Thanks

I have sat on mine so I know it will hold at least 200 pounds.

I've got a 75lbs rack about a 100lbs spare and another 50 pound gear box on mine. So that's at the very least 225, then I put some spare axle shafts, a bike, a shovel and ax up there and no problems. Then to top it off I sit my fat a$$ up there to enjoy the offroad entertainment with a coke and a smile and it does fine. But again it's well distributed through out the top and towards the outside not the middle.

Esteban has a really good point- load capacity has a lot to with how you distribute a load over an area.

BTW, nice rack, Esteban

My friends three kids who weigh about 50lbs, 60lb and 75lbs each stood on my hardtop and jumped up and down on it like fools for 10 minutes before I looked outside and saw them and yelled at them.... but to take that, considering they were pounding into the top it has to be a lot more sturdy then I ever thought it was......

C'mon captain break pedal... quit looking for the parade and drive!!

No idea on the precise weight, but mine has held about 300 pounds worth of fire hose on it before without caving in.

Again no hard data, but putting 150 pounds in the center will "dent" the fiberglass. It will pop back out of course, but thats 150 pounds over a small area, in the center, where there is no reinforcement AFAIK.

I have to jump up and down on the front of mine to get it back on. Takes 5-10 min, I'm around 200 lbs. No problems yet.
