The grand pooba of car top carriers

By sundaymtn Ranked #249 - Car Racks October 17, 2008

This is a big box. The center "belly" area fits a milk crate with room for sleeping pads above. Before short skis were the rage this was one of the few boxes that would carry my 215's (just for reference, they've since been retired). Now - with 3 kids, 2 dogs, and a busy schedule this roof top space is invaluable for pack'n'plays, kid carrier packs, fishing poles, joggers(collapsed), firewood, chainsaws, you name it. Not once have I had to unpack it a little, I laugh every time I hear the latches engage because the amount of stuff it just consumed.
Take your measurements twice since the length of this dictates that you'll need a rack whose front portion can mount, or slide, forward enough so the box doesn't interfere with the vehicle's hatch. Funny, in the picture above the hatch would not open all the way - big pain.
