Why I Chose A Pelican Case | Pelican Cargo Case and Mount Review
Cheap, run of the mill Walmart special cases dont cut it. Some people will tell you that you can get something as good as "X" brand for 1/8 of the cost. I'm hear to say that you cant!
Today I am reviewing the Pelican Cargo Case, specifically the Pelican BX55s. These cases are built to last, built to store, and built to mount up and go. I think these are a solid option for those looking to add some lockable storage without all of the bulk and weight of some of the other options out there.
Note that at the time of filming, these cases were listed as 36L. Pelican said that is only to the inside of the lip, the most narrow part of the case. I am guessing this particular case is closer to the 45-50L mark. I will post updated info when I know.

If it looks cheaper without the sticker, then it will be less attractive to thieves anyway. There are benefits to embracing being low-profile and worrying less about the “roll call” of brands on your truck. 😉
@IndependenceOverland
@IndependenceOverland Год назад
Not really worried about showing off the brand as much as having a big void on there. I bought this case in particular because it will look nice with the blue/black contrast. Showing up to Overland Expos and stuff like I do, people want to know what’s on there.

Nice review. I have looked into Pelican cases. I have the same Alu Cab tent and with roof tray as well. How would you mount on top of tent? Thanks.
@IndependenceOverland
@IndependenceOverland Год назад
Use the same exact mounts I used in the video. I updated the description with links. It would be pretty pretty simple to mount up.
@cyranthony
@cyranthony Месяц назад
question for you, for the bx55S the interior depth on the website is 8.5". Im assuming thats at the opening andf it widens out below the lip? i want to use it for a camp kitchen setup but the 8.5" is cutting it really close for my stanley cooking pot
@IndependenceOverland
@IndependenceOverland Месяц назад
Yes, it widens below the lip. This case doesnt have the super thick walls like some of the other companies put on their boxes, which I like because it makes for more usable space.

Nice review. Just got a BX140R case to put crosswise on an FJ with a Baja rack, it just fits (46” wide). I’m removing the sticker too, I’d rather have someone think it’s cheap than a $500 case. Although replacing with a custom sticker for your favorite topic (rather than brand) isn’t a bad idea. Granted, security is relative, anything outside of a vehicle is at a little more risk than if it’s inside, but short of driving an armored truck there’s not a lot you can do. For cases mounted on a roof rack, it’s a little less accessible and someone pilfering is likely to attract some attention. A small padlock will keep casual passers-by from opening it, but anyone that really wants will cut the lock or just take the case (or the whole vehicle). For what it’s worth, we’ve had no problems with the stuff on our roof during 10 years on the road. Most people are honest enough, and I like to think the off-road community is a little better than average. Pay attention to where you park, when possible, don’t make things too attractive, and hope for the best.

Yeah when I was doing this, my main line of thinking is going back to Mexico. Most of the time we are within the US tucked into the mountains but the places we have gone where we had to leave the truck behind for a while, that’s when I really worry. Thanks for the comment!

Do the hooks on the backside of the mounts fold down? I have a 4Runner ( factory, no mods, ) and I have only a few inches of clearance through my garage door. The box wouldnt be a permanent addition, but the mounts would be if they can fold out of the way. Nice vid and review. Ive used Pelican products for 30+ years. Expensive, but worth every penny.
@IndependenceOverland
@IndependenceOverland Год назад
No sir, they unfortunately do not fold down.it’s such a simple mount that you could take them off in about 5 minutes after a trip, but that’s not as nice as folding them down. There is a different style latch that I believe are still made for these by front runner. They are a little more complicated to use, but they are more low profile.

Yeah, the mounts are crazy expensive. For the same price you can get the Mounting Companies mounts which are far superior, just wouldn’t have been ideal for my particular application.

Being able to unscrew the whole mount and walk away with it all is an absolute deal breaker! Guess who walks around with an assortment of tools? Thieves do lol a tweeker would have that thing off in under a minute. Pelican failed hard on this box/mount design.

The Colorado sun is brutal to vinyl. My hood is already a pain to deal with, having more stuff to remove a wrap from would be quite a chore. It would look cool though! I’m going to ceramic coat my new hood vinyl and perhaps it will make it hold up longer. If that’s the case, then I will consider it.

Yeah they are expensive cases. Anything with a lifetime warranty goes up significantly. I would like to see cheaper mount options, and I think I have found an alternative people will enjoy. More on that soon. As for the next build, I will be sharing some of that soon.
