Camping in the Jimny. Roof Top Tent and kit tried

I’m sure there’s a way to position the aerial between the Thule bars, basket and awning. The rear awnings are pretty cool and especially with the nice flat rear area of the Jimny.

Extract below is from the official Suzuki Gen 4 Jimny accesories. Any accesories related to the roof reference the 30 kg weight limit. Google any of the part numbers. see one link below.

Yep, anything that uses the suzuki brand roof bars is restricted to 30kgs cos that's the limit of those bars.

I hope you are correct but where does it say the roof bars are rated at 30 kgs? This would compare to 100 kgs for Thule square bars.
I see maximum roof load capacity not roof bars.

There were 2 issues with the Gen 3 Jimny in respect of roof load. The first was that the roof bars were mounted to the roof by plastic bits that could snap off under load and the other was the fear of rolling it over.

With the Gen 4 it looks like it bolts to the gutter, so I'd imagine that is the first issue sorted.

For gen4, everywhere that the suzuki roofbars are mentioned, 30kg is also mentioned. But not anywhere else.

Aftermarket roof bars always mention 30kg for earlier jimnys but not for gen4 as here:-
