Matthew,

I have a smallish lightweight Thule Pod (36lbs empty) and a Kayak (37lbs
empty) on Yak rack up top.

To be honest ... I can't open the poptop with both on. Have to take the
kayak off and make sure I keep the contents in the Pod under 25lbs. At that
weight I can just, and I stress just barley get it up ... so to speak. If I
was feeling a bit ill, flu or whatever ... I wouldn't even try. I'm a 5'
11" woose probably.

Also have the fake gutter yak mounts bolted to the side.

I never exceed 100 lbs total on top.
