Static load rated to 300kg for this 3 bar set. 100kg per bar.
In terms of the dynamic load rating, we don’t recommend exceeding Suzuki’s stated 30kg total roof load limit for the Jimny.
For added confidence, our roof bars/racks are engineered with a substantial safety margin beyond this 30kg figure, and tested thoroughly off-road.
They are engineered to meet the International Roof Rack Standards ISO 11154. -
Our instruction guide sets you up for the bar spacing shown in images, with the bars spaced at 725mm centre to centre.
You can adjust this positioning to suit your requirements.
Be wary of the maximum recommended forward position for the front bar, which is 480mm from the front door gap to centre of the bar. Shifting the front bar beyond this can create wind resonance. -
With this 3 bar configuration, many choose the Inbetweener Stubby to maintain even spacing between all 3 bars. The required spacing for the Stubby is 725mm between each bar (our standard recommended spacing).
The regular length Inbetweener also works well. Note that this requires a 970mm spacing between 2 bars. The remaining bar will need to be spaced closer at approx 480mm.The Mighty Long Platform already includes 3 Strong Boy Bars. Or you can buy the 3 bars first and upgrade to the Mighty Long Platform later with this expansion kit.

Our Skinny Jim awning brackets are designed to give you a fast, simple and secure fit to our bars, and are practically universal.
For traditional pull-out side awnings, use our Quick Release Side Awning Brackets.For 270°/Freestanding awnings with conventional attachment (ie. 2 or 3 bolt channels at back of awning) use our purpose built 270° awning brackets.
The awning manufacturer’s provided brackets can also work fine but, depending on the hole spacing of the brackets, drilling may be required. -
With a static load rating of 300kg, this 3 bar kit is are built to support the weight of a roof top tent without any issues. Many favour the 3 bar kit for the support the middle bar provides to the base of the tent, preventing any flexing.
However it is worth noting Suzuki’s stated 30kg dynamic roof load rating for the Jimny. Most rooftop tents will put you comfortably over this limit, and we can’t recommend you exceed it.
If you do decide a rooftop tent is the right option for you, you have two methods to attach to our bars.Use the manufacturer-supplied clamps. Be sure to check the manufacturer’s maximum bar width and height first, and required roof clearance.
If the clamps don’t fit around the bars, or you prefer a more secure attachment method – use our RTT Direct Attachment Kit.

One option is our Magic Mount, which is designed to attach Maxtrax lengthways along the bar or between two bars (with a narrower spacing).
Note these are designed for Maxtrax, but may work with other recovery tracks that share the same hole spacing and locking pin design.
The Inbetweener Stubby can also mount Maxtrax (Lite and Mini lengths) using the same mounting pin method, while giving you loads more utility.
17mm Maxtrax Mounting Pins are required for both methods. -
