Roof Rack Cargo Storage Options

[GN4HIR]

I need more cargo storage. I used to carry emergency/recovery gear and a set of tools in the covered bed when I had a pickup. Rarely needed that gear but when I did.. I was glad I had it. I guess I also need to find a way to carry a scissor jack too.

I've installed a Leitner roof rack, Now I need some boxes. I'm just not crazy about paying $700 for the Leitner storage box.

What are you using for cargo boxes on your roof rack? How do they attach? Can you secure them?

Second issue is height of my vehicle. With my 2.5" lift, slightly taller tires and the rack, I'm over 7 foot. I think I'm going to need a step stool or ladder to access the roof. I've ordered a 270 awning which will add another 8 inches or so to my height. Basically I will never get to park in a parking garage ever again!

I've been looking at both Roam Adventure and Pelican boxes as an option to my Yakima SkyBox. The Leitner ones look really nice as well.

I have roam and am happy with them. Still expensive

I was looking for something like this too with a low profile wide box that could carry my trees, high lift jack and shovel up on my Rhino Cross Bars. I posted the same question a while back and am still looking at the options. The Roam Boxes still are looking like my pick so far.
I liked the idea of something that mimics a flat wide roof top tent enclosure say 40” wide by 60” long by 8-10” tall.

I have the 95 and 2 105l. I like the 105 better as they open front to back where the 95 opens from side. I put the 2 105L on rear of my rack, easy to open and get stuff out the back. The 95L goes width wise across the front of the rack. Acts like a fairing. This of course is on my L663 front runner 3/4 rack.
