Roof Rack Storage Boxes

What kind of waterproof storage containers do you use with your roof racks. Slee Offroad had a nice looking box:

The Pelican and Storm cases are very popular

Yakima SpaceBooster and a big Pelican case on the VW.

Those Wolf boxes from Slee offroad are out of stock. I inquired about them a while back, and was told that they were having problems importing them from South Africa.

Although not submersion proof I have used a York box for awhile on my roof. It has excellent molded in handles all the way around so you can secure it with out interfering with the box lid. I have never had a problem with dust or rain getting into it and I have driven through some damn mosoons with it on the roof.

I use a US Mil alloy box. Kinda like an ammo box, but in alloy and much larger. Has 10 cam catches on it. Waterproof and very sturdy.

I have several Wolf packs, and they are awesome! But if you get some, get extra catches. The catches tend to break. There is a company in SA that is making alloy catches for the Wold packs.

Sort of depends on what you're storing, where you're putting it, and what time of year its is. We use:

- Wolf boxes imported from SA; plastic, excellent knock-about boxes for general use, stackable, strong, easily used - not air or watertight, not lockable

- Spacecases (http://www.melmat.com/Melmat%20Site.data/Pages/spacecase.html) imported from Oz; plastic, air\watertight, strong, easily stacked, configurable for equipment\tools\etc., lockable, colour-coded

- Zarges (http://www.zarges.de/home.php?chid=1&lang=int) imported from Germany; absolute favourite - aluminium, range of sizes, interiors, definitely the top of the line - but they stick to your hands in the cold :(
