I recall seeing somewhere (I think it was on the Thule site) that the
Westy poptop shouldn't be loaded with more that 70 pounds. I'd be
interested if anyone has a more definitive answer ---- or anecdotal
evidence that the poptop can indeed carry more.

Cheers,
Doug

Sorry no insight but a question or two. My 83.5 came with thule racks
mounted to the pop top. How much weight can this setup support?
Wondering if my rocket box can ride safely with 8 pairs of X-cpuntry
skis and a couple of Biathlon rifles.
