Hey everyone,
Been searching the forum and internet trying to figure out the answer to my current problem... how to keep soft gear (ie clothes, tent, sleeping bags, etc) "weatherproof" on my Gobi Stealth Rack? Right now I have a Thule Atlantis 2100 but that would take up the entire rack. Since I want the ability to have fuel, water, Maxtraxs, and soft gear light stuff up top, that isnt going to work.
I was thinking of running an alpine style box because they are 1/2 the width of the Gobi and I could still mount fuel, water, Maxtrax on the otherside. Problem is its 10" longer than the rack and will not fit unless I put Thule Crossbars on the Gobi. Then started looking at Pelican boxes but I dont like how they could easily be snatched off the rack unless I drill holes and mount them permanently. Same with Larger Dry Bags.
I have no idea what to do and am looking for some advice or personal experience from others have had with this problem. Any suggestions or ideas would be great. Im going to keep reading other posts too hoping to find something.
