Couldn't find what i was looking for in a search so:
What would be concidered an acceptable weight for a roof rack before it starts to affect the centre of gravity and weight distribution to the point where it is no longer safe to do any decent high siding or climbing?
The vehicle is a Defender 90; 85 profile tyres; somedays it looks like it's been raised, somedays it doesn't so worst case is a 2 inch lift; rack may have a moderate weight on it sometimes;
I have a friend who is quite clued up in this area (his brother in law has done a few expeditions) but it's always good to get as many opinions as possible!
Hit me with it!
