Hi,

        I’ve changed my approach to the roof rack.  I used to use the GW luggage box.  Really a gun box.  But found it hearvy and limiting.  I use now and then but instead. I purchased the Rock straps I think they are called.  GW has them.  Like wide  bungee cords and strong.  I then put items in dry bags and fit them along with other things under the straps.  This way I use the entire space.  But more importantly I can take just the item I want and it is much smaller and lighter to manipulate. 

Just my experience.
