They should be strong enough. Its pretty common to pick up another cross bar from a junk yard and place in the front moat position as a light bar. That way you have your lights and dont affect your roof racks capacity or operation.

Hmm how difficult is it to take off the bars and put them on?

I turned my old crossbars into light bars when I upgraded my rack. I yakima mighty mounts that I had. They can be drilled but its tough. And the bars are arched.

Easy cheesy. Look at the front of the rails and you'll see a torx head screw holds the front pieces in. Take the screws out and slide the bows off or on or whatever.
