In the process of getting a roof basket installed on my Jeep and looking for recommendations for what to use for cargo boxes... something sturdy and weather-proof. What are people using?
recommendation on cargo boxes?

Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

I've enjoyed these so far: Rigid Box
You can either use them individually, or you can stack them like the link above shows a little further down the page. I stack them and roll them around wherever I need

The plano sportsman trunks seem to be holding up well, and they're (relatively) cheap.

Here's a great thread, seven pages long, on storage containers: What Do You Use To Store All Your Gear, with tons of links on the first page to products and other threads about cases.

I am a big believer in Pelican boxes. We used them in the service. Used them Hard. They often got dropped out of the back of an LMTV (about 6 or so feet) with no issues.

They sure do. Three of Zarges K470 sizes have been certified as Bear Resistant by the International Grizzly Bear Committee (IGBC), who tests all sorts of gear with problem Grizzlies.
I've camped in places where rangers have fined other campers for leaving cases and coolers out, though said mine were fine because they know the Zarges K470s and the reputation they have.
I wrote about Zarges and other containers I've been using for years here:

Pelican is the gold standard for rotomold style.
Plano Sportsman is inexpensive and thus far ahve been water resistant and dust proof. Used them on my roof for last weeks Big Bend trip. Three days of rain and dusty roads in the south of the park. No problems.
Gold standard for aluminum is AluBox. Mine has been bomb proof but priced similar to Pelican.
