[QUOTE="BigWave, post: 311226, member: 6786"] The limiting factor here is the roof loading on the Jeep is pretty light. It's 68kg for the Grand Cherokee and with the rack weight, you may be limited to around to 60kg which isn't much. Gobi and Rocky Road make heavier duty units, but these require modified roof rails for distributed loading. Add to that the fact that Rhino Racks state that you should halve the load for off-road use, and you can't put much up there at all - maybe a spare tyre plus awning/shovel. I have the Pioneer Platform, and the noise is minimal - particularly with sun-roof closed. [/QUOTE]
