Can't hate on it. Won't hate in it. You've inspired with ideas for what I could do. It's initially the first hole that hurts the most, but measure twice and drill once. Double check for leaks and you're all set. Thank you

People who are afraid to drill a $400 case clearly haven’t drilled through their hardtop for a front runner rack. Great video as always Asia Also good work on staying true and giving constructive criticism.

@3WheelKhalil 2 года назад

I've thought about this with my own case since I added my RTT and have less space for a box and my recovery boards. Nice build! Also, I actually use the Master Lock 20mm Padlocks and they fit just fine (I have a 83L ROAM box though), got them in a 4 pack at Target. Like we all know, if someone wants it enough they will filnd a way to steal but it has always kept my setup safe from oppurtunists.

Dang this really is a great idea. I don't want to lug this stuff around on a daily basis either. I'm glad I watched the whole way through. It confirmed some concerns I had with the case's construction/price as well as brought to light some pretty serious design oversights. Also great content glad I clicked on your video.

@BNP-HAWJ 6 месяцев назад

Nicely done! Looking forward to do this now!

@rao180677 3 месяца назад

A suggestion: you can put a spacer between the bracket and the box to cover the pin nuts. Although it’s not easy to remove the nuts the space will make it impossible and also look much more clean.

@BaptismOverland 3 месяца назад

@BaptismOverland 11 месяцев назад

@paranormalwheelers 3 месяца назад

You do you . That’s all that matters 😅. If it works for you then it’s perfect

@ClarsonCarson 2 года назад

That's cool. My only concern is the top lid eventually warping because of the gas struts pushing up and the weight of the maxtrax pushing down. I've seen some issues because of summer heat due to the gas struts. Anyway, I love the creativity. Pretty sure you won't have that issue since you store it inside when not in use. Anyway, what grips did you use for your fiskar hatchet??

@BaptismOverland 2 года назад

Yeah keeping it inside should preserve the life a bit. Also I used the quick fist grips. They're awesome lol

@c313zk6 Год назад

Mounting things to the top of your cargo cases is ~IMO~ a must do if you have them mounted on your roof Me personally I went down the Solar Panel route and mounted a 100W panel on each of my cargo cases

@BaptismOverland Год назад

Nice! I ALMOST did that but figured since the cargo box is recovery gear and I might need solar when I don't need recovery (ie camping and not trailing) I did it this way and mounted the solar separately

@InGratitudeIam Год назад

That's a great way to transport everything. There's a sealant used for RVs that remains flexible and will maintain a water-tight seal over time. It's similar to what plumbers use for drains. Silicone will eventually separate and allow for water intrusion. Neoprene washers might be a good alternative. What was preventing you from placing a full-sized axe in the main compartment? Was some gear preventing that? Happy trails!

@BaptismOverland Год назад

Great tip! I have a full sized axe already in the rig and wanted the room for other gear. Plus having the axe in there made it even heavier lol

@ChuongNguyenCGoogle 11 месяцев назад

I had a hell of a time lining up the holes of my molle panel to the roam box. The riv nuts did not line up with the panel. Very frustrating.

@BaptismOverland 2 года назад

Yep. I almost gave up. They need to fix that and make it easier

@joshuaconklin4885 2 года назад

Easy solution to the problem with the molle spacers.... lay the panel face down on a table with the screws in it (threads sticking up). Slip the spacers on and secure them in place to the back of the panel with a dab of CA glue. Then you can just hold the panel up and screw it in place. Boom, done.

@BaptismOverland 2 года назад

Funny thing is I actually did that today on another install for a tailgate table. Video comes out next week and I even mention using glue. Great minds...

@trucon782 2 года назад

I wonder if 7/8” unistrut with some spring nuts would work and get it more flush to the box?

@BaptismOverland 2 года назад

Maybe yeah! I'm actually thinking of the rebuild alrdy maybe with some riv nuts drilled into the box itself. As far as making the brackets more flush, that'll be hard to do because remember there's nuts also at the bottom of each mounting pin that needs to clear

@trucon782 2 года назад

Dope build! Just picked up a subscriber. Looking at a roam box myself, just confirming the traction boards couldn’t fit in the box? Looks like with the way it’s built it’s just slightly too small.

@BaptismOverland Год назад

Def would not fit in the box. Too long. The thing about the roam boxes is that it's huge on the outside but not super roomy inside because of all the thick walls and insulation

@Treetopflyer777 Год назад

Excellent idea. I’d love to do the same type of thing except I don’t really want the pins sticking straight up when I’m not storing the trax

@BaptismOverland Год назад

Yeah. The way I see it, most mounts wherever you put it, the pins will be there sticking out when not storing the maxtrax

@Treetopflyer777 Год назад

@@BaptismOverland fair point. I do love the setup you did

@BaptismOverland Год назад

@@Treetopflyer777 I'll say this. I don't like pins sticking out either. So had I mounted maxtrax to the vehicle then there will be pins every day (I don't want to run around town with maxtrax). This box never gets mounted to the vehicle unless we go off roading. So this box with the maxtrax and pins stay in the garage until it's time to go.

@unclemeat7310 Год назад

A little late to the party but I have a suggestion. Instead of gooping silicone on the flat washers, try bolts from the plumbing department, they are “tank to bowl bolts”. They have a large flat rubber washer that compresses and makes a watertight seal.

@BaptismOverland Год назад

Oh man, THAT is one of the best advice I've heard yet. I didn't even know such a thing existed. When I do a version 2 I'm def doing this. Thank you!!

@unclemeat7310 Год назад

@@BaptismOverland yes, if you google how the tank and bowl connect you will see that rubber washer keeps a couple gallons of water in the tank. You just need to BE ABSOLUTELY SURE the bolt size is the same. The washer has to be very snug on the bolt and you don’t overtighten the nut, otherwise you will over-compress the washer and deform it, causing a leak. Great work otherwise! I came here because I just bought a Subaru forester and was looking for ideas.

@michaelfrymus Год назад

I live in my SUV, so yes, I need it on my roof. I have two of those 95L Roam Cases. I really like the case as im able to mount it to my roof rack without drilling holes into it - but as you said, I don't like the locking situation. I have to use a very small lock on it... I also don't like how the inside is so small. There's a lot of extra plastic inside that makes it smaller. I want to cut it out to fit my gear better... I thought about the lid organizer, but as mentioned, after filing the case, there's no room for a lid organizer, so I'm glad I didn't get one
