Roof rack storage ideas...let's see them!

[PCO6]

Here are a couple of racks I made for my Jeep XJ and trailer. In the configuration below, the XJ will carry a pair of pelicanesqe boxes and a pair of traction boards. I have some Plano boxes that can be used too. I'm working on a separate rack for the front of the roof that will allow me to carry 2 kayaks but none of the above at the same time.

I built another rack for my trailer that carries 2 kayaks and a dry bag for all of the related stuff (seats, PDF's, etc.)

Currently have Yakima awning, Yakima basket, and Thule cargo box. In the basket I will put my Plano box up there with misc gadgets. Inside the Thule box are my recovery boards. But still has plenty of room for stuff I want to keep locked up and protected from environment.

Update on storage... pelican case for four square ft

How do you secure the pelican cases so nobody takes off with them?

From what a I’ve seen the are bolted down from the inside of the case. Then you’d have to put a pad lock so no one can get in them.

I’ve gone with the cheap husky bag option until I get something more durable and lockable. Not as cool is the others here but works for now.

Yep, that’s what I do. Of course, I don’t lock the case. If someone really wants the case, they can empty all the firewood and get a wrench to remove the nuts. I’m really not away from my vehicle much when traveling. But, if they want it that much, they can have a pelican case with holes in it:)
