Your roof will cave in before the racks, why the heavy duty racks?

Those cage style ones are only good if strapping little things down.

Personally I’d go the twin rail. Less obtrusive. Less wind noise. Probably better economy and can still put long things on it.

Yeah I'll call isuzu n see what load rated to.
Maybe roof top tent down track , shade awning ,but seems car not suited.
Yakima lock n load system ,appears to be what I need

Load rating is when driving n not when car is stationary from my understanding.
