Cobalts with Racks

Coming from a TrailBlazer ss with well pretty good amount of room to a Cobalt sedan was a little sad with the lack of room but After getting my roof rack last spring man that thing has made up for it, I moved a couch a bed and lots of other random **** I forget to take pictures though

ARB Touring Range Simpson 3 Rooftop Tent [ARB3101US] - $1,349.99 : Pure FJ Cruiser Accessories, Parts and Accessories for your Toyota FJ Cruiser was sent this today from a friend because I love going on road trips and tend to sleep in my car, haha if there is a way to get this to work for my cobalt I am going to find out how


so anyways what happens to go on your racks guys?

dude, that is BADASS!!!!

so are you looking to get that same design? I think it only works on FJ's because they have BEAST racks from the factory, i doubt a yakima rack or something could handle more than 150 or so pounds although im not sure.

thats what I am thinking the FJ is massive and I am sure there roof would be able to handle the weight of the platform much better than the Balt, but maybe if I could make some stilts to support some weight could be on to something lol
