Hey all, i have an opcoming roadtrip and want to buy a large rooftop cargo box, a few wants/needs

Needs:
Decent quality, no explorer junk, i want Inno, Thule, Yakima, Something decent
All black, dont care if it's gloss/matte/carbon fibre, just not ugly grey
Largest capacity possible

Other points:
Low profile heihgt preferred, length and width can be anything, going on a LWB minivan.
Dont care which direction it opens
Must have keys and lock, or have a swappable lock cylinder that i can replace.
Dont need any of the mounting hardware, i can figure that out if needed, but if it's there that's a bonus.


And Lastly, cheap, i wont be using it frequently, not interested in paying anywhere close to retail. I have a soft rooftop bag i will use if i cant find anything reasonable.


PM me to avoid nonsense.

Sounds like you want a rental rather than a purchase.

I haven't used this guy but I came across him when I was looking for my rooftop basket. Maybe worth a call for $50/weekend.

thanks for the suggestion, but my road trip is a couple weeks, by the end i'd paorbbaly have paid the same as buying one.

I have a big long Thule that I’ve been tossing around the idea of selling . I’ll get some dimensions when I get home.
