Thanks to all for your input. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‘

I will be starting the platform assembly and install - using the basic clamps - next week!

I'll post pictures.

Do s anyone here have enough knowledge/ feedback with the size K platform to confirm if a rooftop tent could fit and not fail? Specifically with two bodies up on it? Been waiting to pull the trigger for sometime now

I got this on Amazon (2-Door also available), $90:
Ford Bronco Trying To Confirm If Yakima Lock N Load Platform Can Mount Directly To Ford Bronco OEM Crossbars? 1670214707009

I've used it once, when we had a blustery 3-day rainstorm. The car's surface was completely dry, but I found the plastic clips slipped of the elastic corner straps, which you connect to spacing in the wheel. (If you have a solid wheel, you'll have to rig it some other way.) I fixed that with short, tight bungee cords looped through wheel spacing and onto the bottom corner grommet.
But your question is, will it cover a roofrack? I can't answer from personal experience, but it's fairly roomy, and I'm pretty sure it will. (I have an uninstalled TrailRax carrier, so I'll find out for myself.) It's roomy enough a strong gale blew it off once. It also has special pockets for the mirrors (but I prefer to fold them in). I appreciate the yellow reflective markers.
For $90, I think it's a good bet. The Amazon link:

Did you ever get around to doing this?

Hey OP, this is a good thread. I also just got my 2 Dr delivered and plan to use the small LockNLoad for holding my Trax, shovel, Axe, and maybe load my big ass bagged Gazelle tent.

Can you post those pics and what other accessories you needed to affix to the OEM rack?

Thanks for any guidance.
