Recommended Roof Rack and Roof Capacity for 2006 Jeep Liberty

Question:

How much weight can I safely put on top of my Jeep Liberty without causing it to be top heavy. I dont want to damage the roof either. Thanks.

I took a look at the online owner's manual for your 2006 Jeep Liberty and was able to find that the roof has a load capacity of 150 pounds. If you happen to have the Renegade model, this capacity is much lower at just 65 pounds. Also keep in mind that the weight of the roof rack itself needs to be included when making sure you stay below the vehicle's limit.

The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your Jeep Liberty. This is a really quiet, aerodynamic roof rack system that will mount to the raised factory side rails on your Jeep's roof. The entire system weighs only 13 pounds due to its lightweight aluminum construction.

I have attached a short video demosntration on this roof rack that you can also check out.
