Favorite Roof rack Boxes?
Hey been looking for roof rack cargo boxes to go on my K9 rack.

I have come across front runners boxes and alu-box's. But nothing really else anyone using one they love or reasons they prefer one over the other looking to not spend thousands for a box to throw extra cargo in.

I've been running Swiss link boxes on my K9 for a while. I drilled holes on the bottom and mounted in the 8mm slots. Their boxes are waterproof and lockable also.

These are significantly more affordable than AluBoxes. Are they Swiss made?

I've used both and really not much differences. Swiss-links have spring-loaded handles w/rubber sleeves on the handles. They work nice exterior mounted for my applications and I have beat the hell out of em. It's definitely a good bang for your buck

Can't remember if the company imports, it's been a long time since researching them. I wouldn't doubt it though

I was looking at Huenersdorff and another brand but they are all basically the same

I was targeting the same price point they are, you can make money at that price point but if I try to undercut Mule's pricing it's not enough to be worth the time

No problem. The secrets out..

I have a lot of different storage cases but for the exterior, these are my favorites.

I have Goose-Gear in my cargo bay so I tend to use Frontrunner soft-sided cases back there.

Cheers!
