I went to the home store yesterday to pick up some 12' sections of steel roofing I had ordered. Trooper was in the shop and I had the Forester so I decided what the heck.

 

You should have seen the forklift drivers face when I had him load the Forester roof rack with the steel sections

 

The 12' sections actually fit well on the Forester. All the pickup truck drivers were staring at the specticle:D

 

What a great SUV!

I thought the roof rack holds only 100 lbs (at least in legacy)?

load ratings are for wussies

The Forester roof racks are tough!!! They are solid not hollow and low profile.

 

I had a tree fall on my rack and it didn't even dent the rack...wish I could say the same for the car. In fact the rack saved the car from more damage.

 

I don't think the metal I hauled was over #100s anyway...and I did pad the rack/roof so it wouldn't scratch anything!
