Lowered myself down on the windshield pillar today. Confirmed that it can handle ~200lbs. Didn't want to push it much more than that.

My concern is now the design of the RTS system. all of the weight on the A pillar is going to be resting on two small bolts.

In the rear, it is resting on one bolt. I stood on the rear mounts, which can hold the same ~200lbs.

Ditto with the rear bar of the RTS system. Even with it half-bolted in, it held me up sitting in the center of one bar.

The max weight rating of the RTS is 75kgs, or 165 freedom-loving lbs, but we'll see what it actually can hold..
