what’s up everybody. Wondering what you kind of storage boxes you guys have and how you mounted them. I currently have a Gobi stealth roof rack and I wanted to see if I can get some ideas or suggestions on storage boxes.
 
I have a Smittybilt Defender rack, which only covers the rear half of my roof. It allows me to remove the freedom panels and the hardtop without having to remove the rack. Anyway...

I use this Reese Explorer roof bag. It's 38 x 38 and 18" deep. Fits perfectly into the rack and gives me the opportunity to put a couple travel bags, small cooler, beach chairs, etc. of varying shapes and sizes because the dogs are riding in the back. The zipper goes around 2 sides, not just one end.

I use the rubber, double s-hook adjustable straps and it doesn't move.

Found it at Walmart for about $50, if I remember. Completely unexpected find, because I rarely go into a Walmart.

Ditto on the roof rack and rooftop bag. Not the same one but same concept...... I also put a cargo net tightly over mine so it doesn't flap in the wind which should help it last longer. Anything solid gets ratchet straps
