I attach mine every year with the biggest zipties you can get at the hardware store....way better than dealing with the corroded hardware.

Just use giant suction cups. What could go wrong?

Crickey.
You can’t really master roof box management until you’ve mastered cooler management. Duh.
Unless Thule starts making rotomolded coolers, or Yeti starts making roof boxes.
I just blew my own mind.

a paddle bro would just put the bars in those 2 crosswise slots and throw a thule cam strap over/under the box which worked fine
the box hard ware is not the problem cuz the nuts are inside the box out of the weather but if you leave a rack up there in shitty weather we get up here without maintaining the attachment hardware it will become a permanent part of the carLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

Jong Rooftop Box Question
why when you can find a used packasport for $3-400? it’s already out there and i’m loving mine (retail a cool $1900 holy shit)
edit: and it’s only 90#
“Choose a custom color for $475 more”
my last plug is that i was on the phone with the owner of packasport talking parts, and he legitimately told me ‘i have customers tell me they get better gas mileage with the packasport on, these things are that aerodynamic’.
can’t beat it

And they would have little sections to warm up your skins and keep your beer cold of course, in a colorway that reflects the restless spirit inside you and of the entire west: Sagebrush. Takes a lot of grit to manage one of these roofboxes, but the reward is worth the trouble. Only true adventures need apply.
(They would be way more than $1000 though. )

Fuckin better be for 3 times the price.
Yes. Skins on at home if possible. They can be a bitch (because I'm a jong with skins). One of my favorite things about the box is being able to just leave the skis in there. I don't have problems with rust and I wouldn't call it terribly dry here.

I apply skins at home. I hang them out to dry every night. So instead of folding them up, I just put them on.
I always boot up at home too.

Those packasport boxes look like some of the biggest pieces of shit I’ve ever seen. 80 fucking pounds for a low pro? 475 to spray a custom color. My cap for my truck was 2300 with a color match for free if I wanted it. 2100 for a roof box color matched. Hahahaha They are smoking some of that wicked shitty Oregon weed apparently. I’ll buy 5 Yakima’s that I just bought for the price of one of those.

It isn't the bickering, infighting, backstabbing, or political asshattery that turned this place into a soulless cesspool, it's threads like this and the people who start them.
