I'll need to check for movement when I do get a platform up there, maybe the type of rack makes a difference.

Yep
68kg (150lb) is the OE spec and MUST NOT BE EXCEEDED..Well that's according to the Jeep specs....I weigh more than that so I'm not about to climb up on my Rhino Rack....I think the Thule system is only rated at 50kg and it mounts on the OE rails...The Rhino system has standoff brackets that screw down using the OE rail mounting points inside the OE rails without replacing them..The brackets that fit inside and are pretty damn solid but I don't think this alters the 68kg spec..
Rhino Rack Leg Set:
NOTE: Rhino say when used
off road you must halve the the roof load spec See:
Rhino Rack Installation...34kg ain't much..Mate had 50kg up top when he over flexed his roof (previous post) at Cape Melville
Rocky Road do a steel roof rail kit that replaced the OE rails and have a nice
Crossbar Kit that mounts on them.
